Overview

The Haas DC-2 Drill Center stretches the 30-taper drill-center format to 39.4 in (1,000 mm) of X travel. Y is 19.7 in (500 mm) and Z is 13 in (330 mm), over a 43.3 × 19.7 in (1,100 × 500 mm) table with five T-slots. The point of the long table is fixturing: a row of vises or a plate loaded with many small parts, drilled and tapped in one cycle.

The spindle is the same light, fast rating found on the DC-1: BT30, 15 hp (11.2 kW), 10,000 rpm and 14 ft-lbf (19 N·m) at 2,500 rpm. It is an inline direct-drive unit, grease packed and liquid cooled. With 1,890 ipm (48 m/min) rapids, moves from one end of the fixture to the other cost little time, and the 21-tool turret changes in 1.5 s tool-to-tool and 2.5 s chip-to-chip.

Tools stay small. A full turret limits diameter to 2.4 in (60 mm), rising to 3.1 in (80 mm) beside empty pockets, with a 7.9 in (200 mm) length limit and a 4.4 lb (2 kg) weight limit. The table carries 772 lb (350 kg), which has to cover the fixture plate, the vises and every part on them. If the work needs more torque or more height, the DC-2-40 has a CT40 spindle with 52 ft-lbf (70.5 N·m) at 3,000 rpm and 19.7 in (500 mm) of Z on the same X and Y travel.

Coolant capacity is 66 gal (250 L). The machine ships at 8,860 lb (4,019 kg) on a 123.8 × 90 × 101 in (314 × 229 × 257 cm) pallet, and Haas lists a starting price of US$90,995.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

39.4 in (1,000 mm) of X travel over a 43.3 × 19.7 in (1,100 × 500 mm) table for multi-part fixtures
Five 0.63 in (16 mm) T-slots on 3.94 in (100 mm) centres for clamping across the 19.7 in (500 mm) table width
1,890 ipm (48 m/min) rapids with 1.5 s tool-to-tool and 2.5 s chip-to-chip changes
21-tool turret and tapping up to 5,000 rpm on a 10,000 rpm BT30 spindle
772 lb (350 kg) table load, up from 550 lb (250 kg) on the DC-1

Limitations

14 ft-lbf (19 N·m) of spindle torque at 2,500 rpm limits it to drilling, tapping and light milling
Z travel is 13 in (330 mm); the DC-2-40 offers 19.7 in (500 mm)
Tool weight is capped at 4.4 lb (2 kg) and tool diameter at 2.4 in (60 mm) with a full turret
772 lb (350 kg) spread over a 43.3 in (1,100 mm) table is soon used up once steel fixture plates are involved

Best For

Rows of small parts drilled and tapped in one loading Long, narrow parts such as rails, extrusions and plates up to 39.4 in (1,000 mm) Light aluminium work with BT30 tools at up to 10,000 rpm Thread-heavy parts tapped at up to 5,000 rpm

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How is the DC-2 different from the DC-1?

Size. The DC-2 Drill Center has 39.4 in (1,000 mm) of X and 19.7 in (500 mm) of Y, a 43.3 × 19.7 in (1,100 × 500 mm) table and a 772 lb (350 kg) table load. The DC-1 has 23.6 in (600 mm) of X, 17.7 in (450 mm) of Y, a 27.6 × 16.5 in (700 × 420 mm) table and 550 lb (250 kg). Z travel, the BT30 spindle and the 21-tool capacity are the same on both.

02 Should I choose the DC-2 or the DC-2-40?

It depends on the tools the work needs. The DC-2 Drill Center has a BT30 spindle with 14 ft-lbf (19 N·m) at 2,500 rpm, 21 tools and 13 in (330 mm) of Z. The DC-2-40 has a CT40 spindle with 52 ft-lbf (70.5 N·m) at 3,000 rpm, 20 tools and 19.7 in (500 mm) of Z. X and Y travel, the table and the 772 lb (350 kg) table load are the same.

03 How is the DC-2 table laid out?

It measures 43.3 × 19.7 in (1,100 × 500 mm) and has five T-slots, each 0.63 in (16 mm) wide, spaced 3.94 in (100 mm) apart. The spindle reaches 39.4 in (1,000 mm) of its length and the full 19.7 in (500 mm) of its width. Rated load is 772 lb (350 kg).

04 What are the tool limits on the DC-2?

The turret holds 21 BT30 tools. Each can be up to 7.9 in (200 mm) long and 4.4 lb (2 kg). Diameter is limited to 2.4 in (60 mm) when the neighbouring pockets are occupied, or 3.1 in (80 mm) when they are empty. Tapping speed is listed up to 5,000 rpm.

05 What does the DC-2 need for installation?

A three-phase supply of 220 VAC at 40 A or 440 VAC at 20 A, and compressed air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) that does not drop below 80 psi (5.5 bar). The shipping pallet is 123.8 × 90 × 101 in (314 × 229 × 257 cm) and the shipping weight is 8,860 lb (4,019 kg).
