Placement and Preparation

 Foundation

You must put your machine on a solid and stable concrete foundation. The standard 6" (150 mm) concrete oor in industrial buildings is usually su cient. Refer to these speci cations:

The concrete must be poured directly on the grade.

The concrete must be 3,500 psi (240 bar) at 28-day strength.
The concrete aggregate must be 1" (25 mm) mix.
The steel reinforcement must be 40 ksi (2700 bar) tensile strength.
The excavation must be cut near at ground. Remove any loose material in the excavation. This prevents settling.
Follow all local building codes and regulations.
Continuous slab

 Anchoring (Optional)

Anchoring is not necessary for correct performance.

Machine anchor kits are available from your HFO. These kits do not meet building, seismic, or stationary equipment installation speci cations. Contact a specialist if you need to meet these
speci cations.

Go to  diy.haascnc.com for the anchoring instructions and anchor footprint. Select the machine model to nd this information.
 Machine Placement

Refer to this list when you plan your machine placement:

Put the machine onto a continuous concrete slab.

The leveling feet of the machine must be at least 12" (300 mm) from the edge of the concrete slab.
Isolate the machine from vibration from other machines or other sources.
Do not put the machine on inappropriate surfaces. This includes asphalt, brick, wood or dirt.
If you plan to put the machine on a oor other than the ground level, consult with a structural expert.

You must have access to the control cabinet for safety and regular operations. Make sure you have a space of 3' (1 m) between the control cabinet and any structures.

Your HFO service technician completes the nal leveling procedure.

 Optional Component Location

Make sure the machine location has su cient space for optional components, such as:

Chip Conveyor - You must have space to remove and install the conveyor for maintenance.
Haas Bar Feeder - You must have space on the spindle side of the machine.
External Transformers.

   Shipping Information - ST-20
Shipping Dimensions, Weight, and Crating Information

This document provides machine weight and shipping dimensions. The weight listed for a machine may vary as much as +/- 5% due to option selection, casting variations, and even the moisture content of the wooden crates
surrounding the machine.

The domestic pallet shipping method is the most common and is comprised of a wooden base to which the machine is bolted. The weight listed for each machine is based on the domestic pallet shipping con guration. If a con guration
has an N/A in the cell, the machine does not ship that way.

The domestic and export shipping crates consist of the wooden base with walls and a roof. All options and accessories are inside this shipping crate unless otherwise noted.
   Lifting Instructions - ST-20

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Read these instructions in their entirety before attempting to lift the machine.

WARNING:
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT PREPARATION AND LIFTING OF THE MACHINE BE PERFORMED BY PROFESSIONAL RIGGERS. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE USED AS A REFERENCE GUIDE ONLY.

IMPORTANT: VF-Series - The top column attachment points are the main lifting points and should remain vertically oriented to the oor throughout the entire lift.

Specialized equipment is necessary to ensure that the machine is secure and level during lifting. The front chains attached to the base help to stabilize the machine and should not carry the main load. When
lifting the machine, slowly lift until all chains are taut, then lift the machine, making sure it stays balanced. Remove lifting brackets and hardware before machine operation, unless otherwise noted. Lifting
kits are available for most machines. Kits include lifting brackets and mounting hardware. It is the customer's responsibility to supply all chains and spreader bars required to properly lift the machine.
Contact a local Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) for more information. Store lifting brackets and hardware in a safe place to use if you move the machine again. Use only Haas-supplied lifting hardware. If lifting
hardware is lost or damaged, contact your HFO. Refer to the lifting placard on the rear of the machine for model-speci c lifting information.

Refer to the lifting placard for the ST-20. Attach chains to the lifting points as shown. Make sure that the chains do not contact the sheet metal enclosure or electrical cables.

 Electrical Requirements for Haas Machines

 General

The electrical power must meet the applicable safety codes and ordinances.
An authorized electrician must make the connection from the main breaker to the machine.
Refer to the Machine Layout Drawing for the location of the machine's electrical input.

 440 V Power *

Haas machines are designed to operate on 220 VAC power. An optional internal high-voltage transformer (380 - 480 VAC) is available for all models, except the CL-1 and CM-1.
Note: This optional high-voltage internal transformer is not eld installable; it must be ordered with the machine.

 Ground

The ground wire is required for operator safety and correct operation.
A separate ground wire must be connected to the chassis of the machine. The wire must be of the same conductor size as the input power. The wire must have a minimum cross sectional area of 10mm²(AWG #7).
The ground wire must be supplied from the main building ground.
Do not use a conduit as a ground wire.
Do not use a cold-water pipe or ground rod to supply the machine ground buss

 Three Phase Power

For the MINIMILL, some options, such as Through-Spindle Coolant, require three-phase power.
Many machines use three-phase power. This can be Wye or Delta type.
You must ground the power source. One leg or center leg for Delta. Neutral for Wye.
All phases must be balanced. Voltages must stay constant within +/- 10%.

 Single Phase Power

For the MINIMILL, some options, such as Through-Spindle Coolant, require three-phase power.
Some machines let you use single-phase power. Refer to the "Electrical Speci cations" table above.
The supplied power must be 208-240 V AC and stay constant within +/- 10%.

 Wire Size

 The wire size requirements depend on your wire lengths. Refer to your local electrical codes.

 Service Breaker

Make sure the circuit breaker that connects to the machine meets with the Haas Speci cation. Refer to the "Full Load Amps" column in the "Electrical Speci cation" table above.
Use the next larger-size industrial-grade breaker that meets your local codes and regulations.

 Phase Converters
