Evening everyone,
Was killing some time and decided to scroll thru the Haas website and came across this machine. At first when I saw the picture I thought to myself, why is the rotary axis on the left side of the table? Come to find out that it's in fact a lathe head stock with a rotating spindle head for 5 axis applications. I just can't come to understand where this type of machine would be practical.
How would you part off without dropping the part?
No sub spindle or tailstock?
Can't see any way you could bar feed
I just have so many questions as to why they would design a machine like this. Wondering what you all think of this creation...
