The new DT-1 from Haas Automation, Inc., is a compact, high-speed drill and tap machine with full milling capabilities. The machine features a generous 508 x 406 x 394 mm work cube and 660 x 381 mm T-slot table, while maintaining a very small footprint. A powerful BT-30 taper spindle spins to 15,000 rpm, and allows tapping at speeds to 5000 rpm. The spindle is coupled directly to the motor for smooth, quiet operation and extreme thermal stability. A 11.2 kW vector drive system provides 62 Nm (peak) of torque for milling and boring operations.

The DT-1 is equipped with a high-speed, 20-pocket, servo-driven tool changer that swaps tools in 0.8 seconds. High-speed 61 m/min rapids combine with 1G acceleration rates to shorten cycle times and reduce non-cutting time. The maximum cutting feedrate is 30.5 m/min.

For efficient chip removal, the DT-1 features steeply sloped internal sheet metal and twin chip augers that exit at the rear of the machine. A 170 L flood coolant system is standard, with a programmable coolant nozzle and high-pressure through-spindle coolant systems available as options.
