4AXBL – 4th-Axis Drive
Enables connection of a Haas rotary table for 4-axis machining, reducing setups and supporting multi-sided parts.
AAG – Auto Air Gun
Provides a directed air blast to clear chips during dry machining or pockets where coolant cannot be used.
ACF – Auxiliary Coolant Filter
Improves coolant life and system flow by filtering particulates from materials like cast iron or aluminum.
CABCOOL – Control Cabinet Cooler
Integrated A/C unit that cools the electronics cabinet to improve reliability in hot environments.
Enclosure Exhaust System
Removes mist and smoke from the machine enclosure for better visibility and reduced waiting between operations.
HD HV-ISO-XFRMR – Heavy Duty Transformer
Internal high-voltage isolated transformer that reduces overheating risk during heavy cutting (for 440 VAC use).
HSM – High-Speed Machining
Enhances motion control for faster feedrates, smoother contouring, and reduced cycle times.
HV-ISO-XFRMR (Standard) – High-Voltage Transformer
Allows operation on 380–480V power.
Oil Skimmer
Removes tramp oil from the coolant tank to improve coolant life and cutting performance.
Programmable Air
Allows pneumatic devices to be controlled directly from the Haas control.
