Overview

The Haas PMC-750SS is the mid-range Super Speed positioning machine, stepping up from the PMC-500SS with 1,016 x 508 x 508 mm (40 x 20 x 20 in) of travel and larger pallets for wider workpieces and longer fixtures. The integrated 2-station pallet changer keeps spindle idle time to a minimum while the additional X-travel accommodates the parts that outgrow the PMC-500SS.

The spindle is the same 22.4 kW (30 hp) inline direct-drive unit running at 12,000 RPM with 122 Nm (90 ft-lbf) of torque at 2,000 RPM. It is liquid-cooled for thermal stability. Taper options include CT40 and BT40. Super Speed rapids hit 35.6 m/min (1,400 ipm) on all axes with 21.2 m/min (833 ipm) max cutting feedrate.

Each pallet measures 762 x 508 mm (30 x 20 in) and holds up to 680 kg (1,500 lb). Pallet change time is approximately 16 seconds. The 24+1 SMTC (40+1 optional) delivers 1.6-second tool-to-tool and 2.2-second chip-to-chip averages.

The machine weighs approximately 6,350 kg (14,000 lb). Positioning accuracy is plus or minus 0.005 mm (0.0002 in) with plus or minus 0.003 mm (0.00012 in) repeatability.

At approximately $155,000-$195,000 configured, the PMC-750SS provides the sweet spot of pallet productivity and work envelope for most production shops. The 40-inch X-travel and 30 x 20 inch pallets handle the majority of production VMC workpieces, and the pallet changer keeps the spindle cutting while parts are loaded at the load station. For shops that want pallet productivity without the cost and complexity of a horizontal machining center, the PMC-750SS delivers. Specs derived from Haas VF-3SS and PMC platform published data.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

40-inch X-travel with 30 x 20 inch pallets handles most production VMC workpieces with room for larger fixtures
12,000 RPM spindle with 1,400 ipm rapids provides Super Speed performance across the wider travel range
2-station pallet changer with 16-second change increases spindle utilization 10-30% versus single-table VMCs
1,500 lb pallet load supports heavier fixtures and multi-part setups than the PMC-500SS
Liquid-cooled spindle maintains thermal stability for tight-tolerance production runs
Sweet spot of size and price for most production shops upgrading from single-table VMCs

Limitations

Only 2 pallet stations; cannot match the automation capability of horizontal pallet pool systems
40-inch X-travel may be limiting for longer workpieces; consider the PMC-1000SS for 50-inch reach
24+1 tool changer may need upgrading to 40+1 for complex multi-operation parts
Pallet-based fixturing requires dedicated fixtures for each pallet, adding tooling cost

Best For

Production shops where spindle utilization improvement justifies the premium over a single-table VF-3SS Aerospace aluminum machining with fast cycle times that benefit from pallet change overlap Automotive production machining of housings, brackets, and components requiring consistent throughput Shops running multiple jobs that benefit from pre-staged fixtures on separate pallets Operations looking for HMC-style productivity in a VMC footprint and price point

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a Haas PMC-750SS cost?

Base price starts around $155,000. With through-spindle coolant, probing, 40+1 tool changer, and options, configured price runs $175,000-$195,000.

02 How does the PMC-750SS compare to the PMC-500SS?

The PMC-750SS adds 10 inches of X-travel (40 vs 30 in) and uses larger 30 x 20 inch pallets with 1,500 lb capacity versus 20 x 20 inch pallets at 1,000 lb. Same spindle and speed. Price difference is roughly $20K.

03 How much spindle uptime does the pallet changer add?

Depending on cycle time and load/unload time, the 2-station pallet changer typically adds 10-30% effective spindle utilization. On parts with 5-10 minute cycle times and 3-5 minute load/unload, the improvement is most noticeable.

04 Is the PMC-750SS better than a horizontal machining center?

For many applications, the PMC-750SS provides good pallet productivity at roughly half the cost of an entry-level HMC. HMCs excel at chip evacuation, tombstone fixturing, and larger pallet pools. Choose the PMC-750SS if you want pallet benefits on a VMC budget.
