TAKE CONTROL
The Haas CNC Control
The command center of your Haas machine tool.
Years of development have gone into designing the best control
hardware and software in the industry. Our new-generation VMCs pack
even more innovation into what was already the industry’s greatest
overall CNC control.
To ensure smooth, precise motion control, Haas VMCs use nextgeneration
digital servomotors and high-resolution encoders on
all axes. Combined with significant software and motor-control
advancements, these yield better surface-finish performance
than ever before.
Main Features
Closed System Our focus is to provide a robust, dependable control that is seamlessly integrated with
the machine. Our closed system is optimized specifically for Haas machines, and does not rely on third-party NC
suppliers. When you call Haas, you get a company that takes full responsibility for the entire machine.
Dedicated Keypad The Haas keypad has a full array of keys, including a complete alphanumeric
keypad, and all common functions are clearly labeled for operator ease. If you’ve ever fumbled with hot keys, or had
to page through screens looking for a specific function, you will appreciate the simplicity of the Haas control. There
are no encrypted codes to memorize.
One-Button Features Common multi-step functions, such as powering-up the machine or
setting tool offsets, have been reduced to the push of a single button. Other often-used functions, such as setting
work offsets, homing the machine, and selecting the next tool during set up, are also one-button commands.
Multi-Function Jog Handle Most machines use the jog handle only to move the axes
around. On Haas machines, the jog handle can also be used in other modes to cursor through the program for faster
editing, override spindle speeds and feedrates, or scan through offsets, parameters, etc.
15" Color LCD Screen Our full-color, 15" TFT LCD display is designed to work in the machine
shop environment. The high-intensity, high-contrast LCD features a very wide viewing angle, and will not fade out
in bright light. The panel is mounted behind anti-glare, tempered glass for protection and easy viewing.
Advanced Program Editing A unique feature of the Haas control is an advanced program
editor that allows the operator to edit programs in a dual-window format.
USB Port The built-in USB port allows the use of customer-supplied USB flash memory devices or
external hard drives.
