2017 Haas EC-1600 CNC Horizontal Machining Center w/ 4th Axis

The 2017 Haas EC-1600 CNC Horizontal Machining Center is engineered for heavy-duty cutting, large-part handling, and rotary-axis integration. Featuring a 64-inch by 30-inch full 4th axis rotary pallet, this model accommodates up to 6600 pounds of workpiece load. The CAT 50 spindle turns at speeds up to 7500 RPM and delivers a robust 30 horsepower motor, making it ideal for large-part machining in aerospace and energy applications. The machine’s 1000 IPM rapid traverse, chip auger, flood coolant, and integrated air blast all contribute to high-efficiency throughput while maintaining dimensional stability and tool life.

Compared to lighter horizontal models, the EC-1600’s increased table size, stronger spindle taper, and powerful rotary axis make it significantly more capable in handling complex or oversized parts. Where smaller HMCs may falter under weight or lack spindle rigidity, this machine thrives under tough cutting loads and expansive setups—particularly when paired with Haas’s integrated rotary.
