PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Platinum Total Care System
You have the oil in your car changed on a regular basis, right? While you’re at it, you might as well rotate the tires and have the brakes, belts and hoses checked for signs of wear. Good idea, right?

The same thing goes for your Haas machine tool. You can dramatically extend the life of your Haas machine by detecting problems before costly damage occurs. Have a factory-certified Haas Service Technician keep your machines in top working order so that you can do what you do best – make money!

Special PM Diagnostics
• Ball bar calibration – Used as a diagnostic tool, the ball bar tests and verifies the positioning accuracy and repeatability of your machine tool.

• Vibration analyzer – Measures and records machine vibration characteristics within the drive system.

Verifies machine vibration against established criteria. Isolates potential problems while
still manageable.

Use as a benchmark for future vibration tests to plot machine wear over time. .
