The award winning range of Haas grinding machines have many universal applications and are used across all industries although Haas excels in being the leading provider of grinding machines for the production of medical components such as artificial knee and hip joints, bone screws and reamers and medical hip rasps.

Medical companies have previously been limited in having to use low powered and weaker tool grinding machines that have been “adapted” for use in the medical engineering field.

Haas however have designed machines for just the type of very high precision grinding tasks demanded by the medical industry and as such Haas machines commonly offer 3 times the power, have faster axis feed rates of 30mts/min and are able to automatically change double wheel sets of 300mm in diameter. This facility enables medical companies to produce several parts at the same time to a very high standard and with vastly improved surface finishes in quicker cycle times. Special software has also been developed for the medical industry to allow for very complex components to be programmed with ease and with greater flexibility and shorter calculation times than ever before.

Another major application for Haas machines is the production of turbine blades and vanes for the aero-engine industry. This video shows the possibility to machine a complete blade from a solid blank.

 

The superior axis configuration of Haas machines combined with the immense in-built strength, machine power and weight results in the superior surface finishes as shown. Haas machines = less stress and heat at higher grinding speeds = improved part deformation and no damage to the surface structure.

Haas universal grinders have machine bases constructed from polymer concrete that reduce vibration and thermal movement and options include high capacity grinding wheel changers and automatic part loading.

It is not without reason that Haas machines are proving to be the most reliable, precise and process capable machines for manufacturing components of all types with several hundred machines already in use throughout the UK, Ireland, Europe and America.

The Haas is also the first grinding machine in the world which you can use to completely grind inserts with HAAS precision in a fully automated process with one clamping step.

Thanks to the special kinematics of the Haas Multigrind®CA, their designers and software experts achieved a real breakthrough in the production of carbide inserts.

This is how easy complete the complete machining of inserts is with a Haas grinding machine:

 

Step 1: Grinding the periphery
Step 2: Grind the profile
Step 3: Grind the chip surface
Step 4: Remove the finished insert while looking at it in amazement

However Haas machines are also used for many other high precision grinding tasks such as the grinding of gear hobs and very special cutting tools.
