Haas UMC-500

The Haas UMC-500 is a compact 40-taper universal machining center for 3+2 and simultaneous 5-axis work. Its published standard configuration combines 24 x 16 x 16 inch linear travels with B- and C-axis rotary motion, an 8,100-rpm inline direct-drive spindle, and a 30+1 side-mount tool changer.

Company overview

The Haas UMC-500 is a compact 40-taper universal machining center for 3+2 and simultaneous 5-axis work. Its published standard configuration combines 24 x 16 x 16 inch linear travels with B- and C-axis rotary motion, an 8,100-rpm inline direct-drive spindle, and a 30+1 side-mount tool changer.

Industries and applications

  • Published maximum part swing is 18.0 in / 457 mm and standard platter diameter is 15.70 in / 400 mm.
  • Five-axis usable work envelope is smaller than linear travels because the part and workholding must rotate and tilt without collision.

Technical and quote details

  • X travel: 24.0 in / 610 mm.
  • Y travel: 16.0 in / 406 mm.
  • Z travel: 16.0 in / 406 mm.
  • B travel: +120 to -35 degrees published swivel range.
  • C travel: 360 degrees.
  • Spindle interface: 40 taper.
  • Spindle speed: 8,100 rpm standard.
  • Spindle drive: inline direct drive.
  • Tool capacity: 30+1 side-mount tool changer standard.
  • Control: Haas Control.
  • Control: Dynamic Work Offsets.
  • Control: Tool Center Point Control.
  • Control: Ethernet.
  • Control: WiFi.
  • Control: HaasConnect.
  • Control: Rigid tapping.

Selection notes

Variables to validate

  • Linear travels do not represent the collision-free five-axis work envelope.
  • Pallet-pool, platter, workholding, probing, coolant, and automation configurations change usable capacity and should be recorded explicitly.
  • Haas notes that models and layout drawings can lag continual design improvements; serial-specific documentation should control installation or service decisions.
