But building a machine the Haas way means much more than just meeting production goals and passing the inspection tests. Every Haas product must be ready to perform in the real world before it leaves the facility, and the proof is in the cutting. This quest for perfection is part of the ongoing dedication of all those employed in the manufacture of Haas products, from the outside suppliers to the after-sale support groups. The most important qualities of our assembly teams are their attention to detail and their personal pride.
All members check their own work and are responsible for their own performance.
To further improve assembly line efficiency, new employees are trained in the Haas way of building, no matter what their prior experience. Once received at Haas, cast-iron components are staged and organized before moving into production. Haas processes more than 2 million pounds of cast iron every month. Each casting is completely machined, drilled, tapped and inspected in a single setup, which provides higher accuracies and smoother production. Simultaneously, thousands of other parts, both purchased and manufactured, are being built into individual subassemblies for the machine, like the Haas- manufactured gearboxes, tool changers, cartridge spindles and CNC controls.
