Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$349,995 for the Haas EC-500/50 (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-500-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
The spindle, the tool changer and the axis speeds. The EC-500/50 has a CT or BT 50 spindle on a 2-speed gearbox with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, a 50+1 tool changer and 710 ipm (18 m/min) rapids. The EC-500 has a CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 inline spindle with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, 30+1 tools and 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min) rapids. Travels, pallet size and the 880 lb (400 kg) pallet load do not change.
Up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) and 16 in (406 mm) long. Diameter is limited to 4 in (102 mm) when every pocket is full and 8 in (203 mm) when the adjacent pockets are left empty. The side-mount changer holds 50+1 tools and takes 4.2 s tool-to-tool, 6.3 s chip-to-chip.
Two 19.69 × 19.69 in (500 × 500 mm) pallets, each rated for 880 lb (400 kg), with a 15 s pallet change. Maximum part diameter is 29.5 in (749 mm) and maximum part height is 36.5 in (927 mm). Y travel is 25 in (635 mm), so a full-height fixture extends above what the spindle can reach.
When the part or its weight outgrows the 500 mm pallet. The EC-630 has the same 30 hp (22.4 kW), 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) spindle and 710 ipm (18 m/min) rapids, but 24.8 in (630 mm) pallets rated for 1,500 lb (680 kg) and 40 × 37 × 40 in (1,016 × 940 × 1,016 mm) of travel. The EC-500/50 is rated for 880 lb (400 kg) per pallet with 32 × 25 × 28 in (813 × 635 × 711 mm).
Electrical supply is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Air consumption is 9 scfm at 100 psi (255 L/min at 6.9 bar) and the minimum supply pressure is 100 psi (6.9 bar), on a 1/2 in line. Coolant capacity is 95 gal (360 L). The domestic shipping pallet is 230 × 126 × 118 in (584 × 320 × 300 cm) at 26,000 lb (11,820 kg).
