The Haas ST-28Y is a powerful CNC turning center built to expand the capabilities of traditional lathes by incorporating a Y-axis for lateral tool movement, allowing off-center machining such as drilling, tapping, and slotting without the need for secondary fixtures or part repositioning. Designed for medium-to-large turned parts, the Haas ST-28Y combines rugged structural rigidity with precision motion components to provide consistent accuracy, excellent surface finishes, and reliable performance in demanding production environments. Its larger work envelope and Y-axis flexibility make it an excellent choice for manufacturers who require both high productivity and multi-direction machining within a single machine platform.
Equipped with the industry-proven Haas CNC control, the ST-28Y supports both conversational programming and full G-code capability, enabling operators of various skill levels to quickly set up and run complex part programs. The machine’s robust spindle and automatic indexing turret ensure smooth machining operations across a range of materials including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and engineering alloys. The addition of the Y-axis enhances machining versatility by enabling lateral cuts and features without repositioning the workpiece, reducing cycle times and increasing throughput. For production environments, contract shops, and aerospace or automotive components, the Haas ST-28Y delivers flexibility, precision, and dependable performance.
