Overview

The Haas GR-712 is a gantry machine with 145 × 85 × 11 in of travel over a 144 × 72 in table. Haas no longer lists it. The product page has been removed from the Haas website, and the listed figures here were read from that page before it went, so they cannot be re-checked against a current source. Treat this page as a reference for a used machine.

The listed spindle is a 15 hp, 8,100 rpm unit with belt drive, 48 ft-lbf at 1,500 rpm, in CT or BT 40. Tools come from a 10-tool carousel and can be up to 3.5 in across and 12 lb. With 11 in of Z and a 1 in thick table rated for 6,000 lb, this is a machine for sheet, plate and shallow parts.

Axis speeds are 800 ipm on X, 2,100 ipm on Y and 1,100 ipm on Z, with cutting feed to 800 ipm. Thrust is 2,520 lbf on X, 1,020 lbf on Y and 2,050 lbf on Z. The listed shipping weight is 24,000 lb, and the electrical supply is 220 VAC three-phase at 40 A or 440 VAC at 20 A.

The GM-2 covers the same table size, 144 × 72 in (3,658 × 1,829 mm), with 22 in (559 mm) of Z, a 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle making 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, and a 30+1 tool changer. Anyone weighing a used GR-712 against a new machine should start with those differences. On X the GM-2 is the slower of the two, at 472 ipm (12 m/min).

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the Haas GR-712 still available new?

Haas no longer lists the GR-712. Its product page has been removed from the Haas website, and the figures on this page were read from that page before it was taken down. For a new machine with the same 144 × 72 in table size, the GM-2 is the model to look at.

02 How does the GR-712 compare with the GM-2?

Both have a 144 × 72 in table rated for 6,000 lb. The GR-712 is listed with 145 × 85 × 11 in of travel, a 15 hp spindle and a 10-tool carousel. The GM-2 has 145 × 87.5 × 22 in (3,683 × 2,223 × 559 mm) of travel, a 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle and a 30+1 tool changer. On X the GR-712 is listed at 800 ipm and the GM-2 at 472 ipm (12 m/min).

03 What tools can the GR-712 carry?

The listed tool changer is a 10-tool carousel for CT or BT 40 holders. Maximum tool diameter is 3.5 in and maximum tool weight is 12 lb. The table gives no maximum tool length, so check that against the 11 in of Z travel and the 2.5 in minimum distance from spindle nose to table.

04 What should I check before moving a GR-712?

The listed shipping weight is 24,000 lb, or 24,200 lb with the EC option and 24,600 lb with the EZ24 option; the table does not explain what those options are. The domestic pallet is listed at 226 × 137 × 116 in. Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 40 A or 440 VAC at 20 A, and air is 4 scfm at 100 psi with an 80 psi minimum.
