Haas History
In 1983, Gene Haas founded Haas Automation, Inc., to manufacture economical and reliable machine tools. The company entered the machine tool industry with the first-ever, fully automatic, programmable collet indexer – a device used to position parts for machining with very high accuracy.
The Haas 5C collet indexer was a huge success, and during the next four years, the company expanded its product line to include a wide selection of fully programmable rotary tables, rotary indexers and machine tool accessories.
To this day, Haas produces all critical components in-house, using dedicated state-of-the-art CNC machine tools to ensure accuracy. The company’s 1-million-square-foot facility makes extensive use of automated, “lights-out” flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) and robotic loaders to streamline production capabilities and reduce costs.
