Overview

The Haas UMC-500 is a 5-axis trunnion machining center with 24 × 16 × 16 in (610 × 406 × 406 mm) of travel and a 15.7 in (400 mm) platter that carries 500 lb (226.8 kg). Below it, the UMC-400 has a 15 hp (11.2 kW) spindle; this model has the 30 hp (22.4 kW) rating with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. Haas's starting price is US$156,995.

Both rotary axes use cycloidal drives, and the figures are identical for B and C: 1,854 ft-lbf (2,514 N·m) of torque, a 900 ft-lbf (1,220 N·m) brake and 50°/sec. That is plenty of holding force for a 500 lb part, but slow for simultaneous contouring, where the rotary axis often sets the pace. B tilts from +120° to -35° and C is a full 360°. Maximum part swing is 18 in (457 mm).

The platter has 5 T-slots, 0.626 in to 0.63 in (15.9 mm to 16 mm) wide on 2.48 in (63 mm) centres, so T-nuts and fixture plates bolt straight on. With a pallet pool the listed platter load drops to 200 lb (90.7 kg), a figure to check against fixture weight before planning unattended running.

Linear performance is moderate: 650 ipm (16.5 m/min) cutting feed, 900 ipm (22.9 m/min) rapids, and tool changes of 2.8 s tool-to-tool and 3.6 s chip-to-chip from a 30+1 side-mount changer. The taper is a choice of CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63. Haas's feature list for the current design names a stiffer base casting, a front-mounted control pendant, a lighter operator door and a standard rollaway coolant tank.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

30 hp (22.4 kW) inline direct-drive spindle with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, liquid cooled
Cycloidal rotary drives with 1,854 ft-lbf (2,514 N·m) of torque on both B and C
500 lb (226.8 kg) platter load on a 15.7 in (400 mm) platter with 5 T-slots
Spindle taper offered as CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63
Tools up to 12 in (305 mm) long and 12 lb (5.4 kg) in a 30+1 side-mount changer
Rollaway coolant tank is standard, holding 55 gal (208 L)

Limitations

B and C rotate at no more than 50°/sec, which caps feed in simultaneous 5-axis moves
8,100 rpm and 900 ipm (22.9 m/min) rapids; the UMC-500SS lists 12,000 rpm and 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min)
Platter load falls to 200 lb (90.7 kg) with the pallet pool
Y and Z travel are 16 in (406 mm) each, so a tilted part on a tall fixture uses the envelope quickly

Best For

5-axis and 3+2 work on parts up to 500 lb (226.8 kg) Steel and stainless parts that need 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) of spindle torque Fixtured work on a 15.7 in (400 mm) T-slot platter Positioning work where a 900 ft-lbf (1,220 N·m) brake holds each rotary axis

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How heavy a part can the UMC-500 platter carry?

500 lb (226.8 kg) on the standard machine, and 200 lb (90.7 kg) when a pallet pool is fitted. The platter is 15.7 in (400 mm) in diameter with 5 T-slots, and maximum part swing is 18 in (457 mm). Count the vise, chuck or fixture in the load.

02 How does the UMC-500 compare with the UMC-750?

Same spindle, bigger envelope. The UMC-750 has 30 × 20 × 20 in (762 × 508 × 508 mm) of travel and a 19.7 in (500 mm) platter rated for 660 lb (300 kg). The UMC-500 has 24 × 16 × 16 in (610 × 406 × 406 mm) and 15.7 in (400 mm) with 500 lb (226.8 kg). Both list the 30 hp (22.4 kW), 8,100 rpm spindle, 900 ipm (22.9 m/min) rapids and 30+1 tools.

03 What are the rotary axis figures?

B and C each have 1,854 ft-lbf (2,514 N·m) of torque, a 900 ft-lbf (1,220 N·m) brake and a maximum speed of 50°/sec, through cycloidal drives. B tilts from +120° to -35°. C rotates 360°.

04 Which tool changer configurations show up for the UMC-500?

The base machine has a 30+1 side-mount changer: 2.5 in (64 mm) maximum diameter with a full magazine, 5 in (127 mm) with adjacent pockets empty, 12 in (305 mm) long, 12 lb (5.4 kg). Haas's shipping table also lists configurations with a conveyor and a 70+1 or 120+1 changer, at 13,320 lb (6,042 kg) and 13,960 lb (6,332 kg) against 11,900 lb (5,400 kg) for the base machine. Those are alternative configurations, not the base specification.

05 What power and air supply does the UMC-500 need?

70 A at 220 VAC three-phase or 35 A at 440 VAC three-phase. Air demand is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with a minimum supply pressure of 80 psi (5.5 bar). The air hose and coupler are 3/8 in.
