Haas CL-1

What the maker publishes about the current Haas CL-1

Small parts are the target of the CL-1, which Haas classes as an ultra-compact chucker lathe for small-part runs, second operations, short batches and prototypes. Its standard turret is an automatic 8-station unit. The spindle nose takes 5C collets and carries a 2 3/16 in - 10 thread. Top spindle speed is 6000 rpm from a 5.0 hp belt drive, and the bore measures 1.25 in. Bar work runs up to 1.00 in, and chucks up to 4.0 in fit. The cross slide leaves 11.0 in of swing and the table 4.95 in, the same figure Haas gives as maximum cutting diameter. Travel is 12.00 in on X and 8.00 in on Z. Both axes rapid at 757 ipm, and cutting feed peaks at 500 ipm. A C axis on the main spindle turns at up to 160 rpm and positions to 0.01°. The coolant tank holds 13 gal. The machine runs from either single-phase power or three-phase power and moves on a pallet jack.

What to check on a Haas CL-1

• Spindle. The manufacturer gives a spindle speed of 6000 rpm. Run the spindle to top speed and listen for bearing noise.
• Spindle load. The manufacturer gives 3.7 kW (5.0 hp) of spindle power. Take a heavy cut and watch the load meter.
• Spindle nose. The manufacturer gives a spindle nose of 5C (collet) Type Nose. Check that the chuck fitted to it runs true.
• Axes and way covers. The manufacturer gives X 305 mm (12.00 in) and Z 203 mm (8.00 in) of travel. Run each axis end to end and check the way covers.
• Rapids and ballscrews. The manufacturer gives a rapid traverse of 19.2 m/min (757 ipm). Measure the backlash on each axis.
• Chuck and bar. The manufacturer gives a chuck size of 102 mm (4.0 in) and a bar capacity of 25 mm (1.00 in). Check the jaws and the grip pressure; check any bar feeder is set for that bar.
• Bed and ways. The manufacturer gives a max turning diameter of 126 mm (4.95 in). Check the ways for wear near the chuck.
