Factory Spotlight: Haas’ demo room: Oxnard, California

26 November 2020 • In Video

It’s been 13 years since I visited Haas Automation’s headquarters in California. it was a pretty unforgettable experience –  I’d just taken over as Editor of PES and I’d literally never seen a factory this big before!

Whether you’re a Haas machine user or not, it’s truly phenomenal how Gene Haas has built this colossal empire from his original product – a rotary indexer (in 1983  I believe). This video takes a look at the Demo Room at Oxnard which is home to Haas’ first ever machine, the VF-1 VMC. According to the video – it still runs today.

This machine was launched in 1988 in time for IMTS that year. The objective behind the whole thing was to build and sell a CNC machine tool for less than $50,000. It succeeded with absolutely bucketloads sold over the years; in fact recently Haas was presented with an award for the sale of its 200,000th machine.
