What’s new? U.S. availability of CNC equipment from Absolute Haitian, which plans to show its TC25IIX500 and VMC850 II at NPE. In addition to the two machines at the show, which are designed for standard mold-making applications, the company also provides double-column machines for especially large applications. Components across all machines — which feature Fanuc controls — are standardized. Standard machines can run at 8,000 rpm; advanced versions have a speed of 12,000 rpm.
Benefits High-quality, cost-competitive performance. Though new to the U.S. market, Absolute Haitian has long sold CNC equipment in other countries; by making the equipment available domestically, the company hopes to be part of molders’ and mold makers’ reshoring efforts. With its global scale, the company can supply equipment quickly.
