Plas-Tech install tooling centre

'As part of our continued growth plans and dedication to customer service we have installed a new Vertical Milling Centre produced by HAAS of the USA. The decision to install the machine took the board a day of deliberation following which we had the machine installed in a record two weeks. We are positive it will help us cut the cost of tooling to our customers and help us grow our business as a result.'

The newest addition to the Plas-Tech machine capabilities.

'We chose HAAS as much for the speed of delivery, service and quality of the machine as the reputation HAAS hold in the engineering world. Like us they are dedicated to producing the correct product at the correct cost and delivering it on time, time after time.'
John Jarvis Managing Director

The Haas VF-9 vertical machining centre has 2134 x 1016 x 762 mm xyz travels.

The Haas VF-9 is a rugged, large VMC that yields reliability and accuracy in a large-framed machine.

The VF-9 has a 40-taper cartridge spindle driven by a 20 hp vector Dual-Drive (Y-Delta) drive.

The VF-9 produces either 75 ft-lb of torque at a low 1400 rpm, or 250 ft-lb at 450 rpm with the optional 2-speed gearbox -- and will also run up to 10,000rpm for finishing aluminium.

We have also purchased the machine with full 5 axis capability as an option.
