all the capabilities of the UMC-750 - but with shorter travels. The footprint is similar to a VF-2.
The UMC-500 features all new castings optimised around a new work envelope. Other highlights include a lightweight operator door, a re-positioned front mounted pendant for easy access to the CNC, a larger side window and rollaway coolant tank plus there's 145 degrees of rotation on the B-axis and 360 degrees on the C-axis.
It's competitively priced too - £126,275 for a 5-axis machine is hard to beat. You can check it out at Haas' F1 Team showroom in Banbury.
