Before You Begin

Important! Read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to anchor the machine.

This document must be used in conjunction with the installation section of the Reference Manual.

Anchoring is not required for proper performance of Haas machines, but is recommended for optimal machine

performance. It is strongly recommended that the EC-1600 series and the VS/HS series machines are

anchored with the supplied anchor kits.

The Haas machine anchor kits are speciically designed for this purpose. They are not intended to satisfy building, seismic or stationary equipment installation. Such requirements should be provided by an expert.

The anchoring kits include only the hardware to build the anchors. The epoxy required to secure the anchors

is not included. Use epoxy with 16000 psi compression and 4000 psi tensile strength such as Chockfast Gray,

which is available from ITW Resins. Please refer to their website, www.chockfastgrout.com, to ind a local distributor.

Before drilling the anchor cores, make sure there is enough clearance around the machine to install the

coolant tank. Please refer to the Haas website (www.haascnc.com) for machine footprint and coolant tank

dimensions. These can be found in the “Machine Dimensions” link on the page for each model.

Foundation Requirements

Refer to the Haas Pre-Installation Guide, ES0332, for details on the machine foundation requirement.

Placing the Machine

Refer to the Haas Pre-Installation Guide, ES0332, for details on machine placement.




Anchoring Overview

Setting the anchors is a multiple step process:

Coring: Holes are drilled into the foundation where the machine will be placed.

Anchor Pre-Assembly: The anchoring hardware is partially assembled hand-tight.

Setting the Anchors: Epoxy is poured into the cored holes and the in-ground anchor hardware is set in

place.

Anchor Final Installation: The machine is moved to its inal position and the above-ground anchors are attached to the machine. They are torqued in increments to a speciied rating.

Coring Instructions

Before drilling, please refer to the Haas website (www.haascnc.com) for appropriate hole pattern and

machine footprints. These can be found in the “Machine Dimensions” link on the page for each model.

On a 6” (150 mm) slab, cored holes must be 1.5” (38 mm) diameter by 6” (150 mm) deep, (Standard foun-

dation requirement).

On a 12” (300 mm) slab, cored holes must be 1.5” (38 mm) diameter 8.5” (215 mm) deep, (EC-1600 series,

VS, HS foundation requirement).

Anchor holes for the HS side-mount tool changer are 4" (100 mm) diameter by 10" (250 mm) deep.

NOTE:

Thoroughly clean and dry the cored holes. The holes must be completely free of oil and water. If blasting

with air, ensure that the air is free of oil.




Anchor Pre-Assembly

1. Screw the coupling nut onto the 5/8-11 hex

head bolt (HHB). The HHB should reach

halfway into the coupling nut.

2. Thread the 5/8-11 hex nut halfway up the

length of the long threaded end of the stud.

3. Thread the loor plate and the 5/8 washer onto the long end of the stud below

the 5/8-11 hex nut.




4. Thread the long end of the stud into the

coupling nut as far as it will go.

5. Tighten the 5/8-11 hex nut until the loor plate and washer are held tightly against the

coupling nut. Finger-tight pressure is all that

is needed at this point.

Procedure Complete.




Setting the Anchors

1. Mix the epoxy per the manufacturer’s

instructions.

2. Fill the hole until the epoxy is approximately

2" (50 mm) from the top.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT OVERFILL THE

HOLE. The epoxy will rise once the anchor

assembly is placed in the hole.

3. Place the anchor assembly briely into the hole (stud end up) and then quickly lift it

back out.

At least half of the coupling nut must be

covered in epoxy to ensure proper

anchoring. When the epoxy cures it must

hold the coupling nut irmly in place.

Make certain that the epoxy does not seep

over the top of the coupling nut or you may

not be able to remove the stud later in this

procedure.

4. Reinsert the anchor assembly into the hole,

stud-end up. Use a carpenter’s square to

make certain that the stud is perpendicular

to the loor.

NOTE: At this point you must work quickly as

the epoxy will begin to harden.

Refer to the epoxy manufacturer’s

instructions for curing time. It typically takes

18-24 hours..

Anchor Installation

1. Once the epoxy has cured, remove the

studs. Remove the loor plate, the washer and the 5/8-11 hex nut from each stud.

2. Move the machine into position.

3. Screw the short end of the stud into the

coupling nut in the loor. Make sure that the machine base casting does not interfere with

the stud.

Thread the stud as far into the coupling nut

as it will go.

4. Slide the loor plate down the stud so that it lies lat on the loor.

5. Thread the 3/4-10 hex nut onto the

3/4-10 x 6 HHB and drive it

roughly 2" (50 mm) down the bolt.

6. Set the 3/4-10 x 6 HHB head-down on the

loor plate and align it so that the anchor strap will it over both the hex head bolt and the stud.

7. Place the anchor strap onto the bolt and

stud.

8. Place the 5/8 washer onto the stud, followed

by the 5/8-11 hex nut.

Loosen the anchoring assembly prior to

leveling the machine.

9. Make certain that the anchor plate rests

irmly on the 3/4-10 hex nut and on the machine base.

Procedure Complete.

Final Anchoring

1. Once the machine has been leveled, torque the 3/4-11 hex nuts on the stud to 50 ft-lb (68 Nm) in the

following pattern:

2. Torque the 3/4-11 hex nuts on the studs to

80 ft-lb (109 Nm) in the same pattern.

Please refer to the Haas website (www.haascnc.com)

for appropriate hole pattern and

machine footprints. These can be found in the

“Machine Dimensions” link on the page for each

model.

Anchor Kits

The Haas machine anchor kits are speciically designed to improve machine stability and performance. They are not intended to satisfy building, seismic or stationary equipment installation. Such requirements should be

provided by an expert.

Please contact your Haas Factory Outlet to obtain the correct anchoring kit (if not included with the machine).

For anchoring patterns and machine drawings, refer to the Haas website (www.haascnc.com). These can be
