What's the lowdown on these things?
I recall that the early ones supposedly didn't have enough clamp force on the pallet, and you could unseat it with a heavy push near the top of the Y travel, but the story was that they got that fixed for later models.
No?
These things are plentifull and may fit my needs just fine. ???
I see that the HS-1 machines have 18 x 18 travels, while the HS-1R (RP) machines have 20 x 24 travels. As far as the pallet issue goes - is it safe to ass_u_me that the issue would be on the HS-1 machines?
Any other issues with these things?
Doo they just not have much re-sale value b/c they are a Horizontal, and most shops buying a Haas, would be more comfortable with a vertical?
Doo the pallets repeat good?
Chip problems?
Coolant problems?
Enough?
All over the floor?
How about that tool changer?
Any trouble with tools just falling out of it?
Chip issues?
You CAN rotate the pallet in the load position right?
Motorized, or manual, or ???
Chip conveyor/screw/whatnot efficient enough?
What else?
Oh - What exactly is the diff in the 3 models?
Even the HS-1 seems to have pallets and a B axis, so ????
I have seen a video of an HS-1 with a side mount toy changer
And all the vids/pics that I have seen of the R/RP models all have a carousel.
