Haas Automation EC-1600ZT in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas EC-1600ZT

How much does the Haas EC-1600ZT cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$376,995 for the Haas EC-1600ZT (verified 2026-10-02). Options, tooling, freight and installation are extra, so a dealer quote will differ. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/haas-ec-1600zt#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

What does the ZT add to the EC-1600?

Z travel and rotary swing. The EC-1600ZT has 40 in (1,016 mm) of Z and a 78 in (1,981 mm) maximum part swing on the A axis. The EC-1600 has 32 in (813 mm) of Z. X and Y travel, the 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table, the 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) load, the spindle and the 50+1 tool capacity are the same in the figures for both.

How large a part can rotate on the EC-1600ZT?

The A-axis block lists a 78 in (1,981 mm) maximum part swing and 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) on a 30 in (762 mm) platter, with a 64 × 32 in (1,626 × 813 mm) A-axis table. Travel is 360° at 36°/sec, minimum resolution is 0.001°, and the brake holds 4,000 ft-lbf (5,423 N·m). Check the swing against your fixture with Haas, since it exceeds the table length.

Should I consider the EC-1700ZT instead?

If the part needs more depth or length, yes. The EC-1700ZT has 68 × 50 × 50 in (1,727 × 1,270 × 1,270 mm) of travel against 64 × 50 × 40 in (1,626 × 1,270 × 1,016 mm) here. Spindle power, torque, top speed, table load and tool capacity are the same in the figures for the EC-1700ZT and the EC-1600ZT, so the decision is about envelope.

How does the EC-1600ZT differ from the EC-1600ZT-5AX?

The EC-1600ZT-5AX has the same 64 × 50 × 40 in (1,626 × 1,270 × 1,016 mm) travels and spindle figures but lists a 64 × 32 in (1,626 × 813 mm) table and a B axis with +30° to -30° of travel. The EC-1600ZT lists a 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table and an A-axis rotary with 360° of travel.

What tool changer does the EC-1600ZT have?

The spec table lists a 50+1 side-mount changer: tools up to 4 in (102 mm) in diameter, 10 in (254 mm) with adjacent pockets empty, 20 in (508 mm) long and 30 lb (13.6 kg), at 8 s tool-to-tool and 12.6 s chip-to-chip. The shipping rows also give figures for a 70+1 tool changer configuration, which is an alternative to the base machine.

What does the EC-1600ZT need for installation?

Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC at 35 A. Air is 9 scfm at 100 psi (255 L/min at 6.9 bar), minimum 80 psi (5.5 bar), on a 3/8 in line. The base machine ships at 29,700 lb (13,472 kg) on a 192 × 166 × 136 in (488 × 422 × 346 cm) domestic pallet; in an export crate it is 31,400 lb (14,243 kg). These are shipping figures, not the installed floor plan.
