“Haas is the lowest risk machine tool investment in the world,” he says. “We give customers simplicity, reliability and comprehensive support. They no longer have to buy overcomplicated or expensive machines, they can buy the one they need to do the job.” It took the vision, energy and engineering brilliance of a small group of individuals – with, let it be noted, no prior machine building experience – led by a maverick machine shop owner named Gene Haas, to change the face of precision engineering the world over. Never before has CNC metal cutting technology been so affordable, reliable and easy to use. Haas machines have become the tool of choice for anyone running a machine shop and intending to make a profit. | www.HaasCNC.com Needless to say, a multitude of imitators follow in the company’s wake, but none can match the ingenuity of Haas, the western world’s largest producer of CNC machine tools by volume. Still growing, and with its sights set firmly on 15,000 machines a year and $1billion in annual revenues, the company continues to introduce new machine tool products almost every month, expanding its already impressive range by applying the same tried-and-tested engineering logic to constantly improve productivity and reduce running costs. Haas CNC machine tools are sold worldwide through the company’s 140+ Haas Factory Outlets (HFOs) – dedicated, independently owned Haas resellers who have reached the high levels of service and support demanded by Haas Automation.
Unlike other machine tool case studies, this is the story of something that has yet to be built. A story of one man’s vision, which may or may never see the light of day, but which, for sheer engineering creativity, deserves to be told. Solid State Race Car Story and photos by Matt Bailey
