STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION GUIDE

Placement and Preparation


☑ Foundation

You must put your machine on a solid and stable concrete foundation. The standard 6" (150 mm) concrete floor in industrial buildings is usually sufficient. However, Large-Frame machines may require a 12" (300 mm) concrete foundation. Refer to these specifications:

  • The concrete must be poured directly on the grade.
  • The concrete must be 3500 psi (240 bar) at 28-day strength.
  • The concrete aggregate must be 1" (25 mm) mix.
  • The steel reinforcement must be 40 ksi (2700 bar) tensile strength.
  • The excavation must be cut near flat ground. Remove any loose material in the excavation. This prevents settling.
  • Follow all local building codes and regulations.
  • Continuous slab

☑ Anchoring

This machine requires an anchoring kit. Click here to view anchoring kits for your machine

Machine anchor kits are available from your HFO. These kits do not meet building, seismic, or stationary equipment installation specifications. Contact a specialist if you need to meet these specifications.

  • Click here for the anchoring instructions and anchor footprint. 

☑ Machine Placement

You can use a forklift or roller dolly to move your machine. Be sure to use a lifting device with sufficient capacity.

Refer to this list when you plan your machine placement:

  • Put the machine onto a continuous concrete slab.
  • The leveling feet of the machine must be at least 12" (300 mm) from the edge of the concrete slab.
  • Isolate the machine from vibration from other machines or other sources.
  • Do not put the machine on inappropriate surfaces. This includes asphalt, brick, wood, or dirt.
  • If you plan to put the machine on a floor other than the ground level, consult with a structural expert.

You must have access to the control cabinet for safety and regular operations. Make sure you have a space of 3' (1 m) between the control cabinet and any structures.

Your HFO service technician completes the final leveling procedure.

☑ Optional Component Location

Make sure the machine location has sufficient space for optional components, such as:

  • Chip Conveyor – You must have space to remove and install the conveyor for maintenance.
  • Haas Bar Feeder – You must have space on the spindle side of the machine.
  • External Transformers.

Lifting Instructions 

Read these instructions in their entirety before attempting to lift the machine.

WARNING:
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT PREPARATION AND LIFTING OF THE MACHINE BE PERFORMED BY PROFESSIONAL RIGGERS. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY.

IMPORTANT: Most – but not all* – Haas machines may be lifted by overhead crane for positioning and installation. Depending on the model, your new Haas machine may have built-in lifting provisions, or may require a lifting kit, available through your local Haas Factory Outlet (HFO), that includes required lifting brackets and hardware.

Refer to the lifting placard on the rear of the machine to locate all critical lifting points.

Specialized equipment is necessary to ensure that the machine is secure and level during lifting. When lifting the machine, slowly lift until all chains are taut, then lift the machine, making sure it stays balanced. Remove lifting brackets and hardware, if installed, before machine operation, unless otherwise noted. It is the customer’s responsibility to supply all chains and spreader bars required to properly lift the machine. Contact your local HFO for more information. Retain any supplied lifting brackets and hardware, and store them in a safe place for future use. Use only Haas-supplied lifting hardware, if required.

Refer to the lifting placard on the rear of the machine for model-specific lifting information. Attach the lifting bracket, if required, and chains as shown. Make sure that the chains do not contact the sheet metal enclosure or electrical cables. Note the use of spreader bars and lumber. Haas Automation, Inc., does not provide spreader bars or lumber.

*GR, GM, TL, CM, and CL models are not suitable for overhead lifting. They must be lifted by forklift.

*Haas machines are designed to operate on 220 VAC power. An optional internal high-voltage transformer (380 - 480 VAC) is available for all models, except the Desktop machines CL-1, and CM-1. This optional high-voltage internal transformer is not field installable; it must be ordered with the machine.

ATTENTION! Optional high-performance spindles have a higher power requirement than the standard spindle. Verify the power requirement before running power for your machine.

Air Requirements for Haas Machines

Your machine must have a clean, dry air supply at a minimum pressure and volume to operate correctly. Refer to the table below.

  • For the location of the air inlet, refer to the Machine Layout Drawing located at http://haascnc.com.

Note: If you make auxiliary air connections, they must be on the input (unregulated) side of the air filter/regulator or air shutoff valve.

  • Supply compressed air with a minimum 2 hp (1.5 kW) compressor with a minimum of 20-gallon (75 L) tank, made for continuous duty.
  • Your compressor must have 2 hp (1.5 kW) for each machine (e.g., an installation of 5 machines requires a 10 hp (7.5 kW) compressor).

* If incoming air pressure is higher than 120 psi (8.2 bar), you need to supply an air-pressure regulator.

Coolant


Caution: Do not use straight or “neat” mineral oil products as coolant. These products cause damage to the tubing and seals on the machine. If you use a minimum-quantity lubrication system, use only the recommended oils.

Note: Be sure to maintain your coolant mixture to keep the coolant concentrate at acceptable levels. Improperly maintained coolant mixtures can allow machine components to rust. Rust damage is not covered by your warranty.

  • Go to our Machine Tool Coolant resource on www.haascnc.com/video. The Machine Tool Coolant Video Series gives you complete information about coolant maintenance.
  • The machine coolant must be one of these types:
    • soluble oil coolant
    • semi-synthetic coolant
    • synthetic coolant
