The company entered the machine tool industry with the first-ever, fully automatic, programmable collet indexer – a device used to position parts for machining with very high accuracy. The Haas 5C collet indexer was a huge success, and over the next four years, the company expanded its product line to include a wide selection of fully programmable rotary tables, rotary indexers, and machine tool accessories. Founded in the UK 1991, Haas Automation Ltd employs more than 80 people, 35 of whom are factory-trained engineers. The award winning service team looks after more than 8,500 installations across the country.
