Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$310,995 for the Haas EC-500 Horizontal Machining Center (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#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.
Decide by cutter size and material. The EC-500 has a 40-taper, 8,100 rpm spindle with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min) rapids and 30+1 tools. The EC-500/50 has a 50-taper, 7,500 rpm spindle with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, 710 ipm (18 m/min) rapids and 50+1 tools, and weighs 26,000 lb (11,820 kg). Travels, pallet size and the 880 lb (400 kg) pallet load are the same on both.
The pallet is 19.69 × 19.69 in (500 × 500 mm). Maximum part diameter is 29.5 in (749 mm), maximum part height is 36.5 in (927 mm) and maximum pallet load is 880 lb (400 kg). Travel is 32 in (813 mm) in X, 25 in (635 mm) in Y and 28 in (711 mm) in Z, so the reachable height is set by the Y travel, not by the part height limit.
The EC-630 is a larger, 50-taper machine: 40 × 37 × 40 in (1,016 × 940 × 1,016 mm) of travel, 24.8 in (630 mm) pallets and a 1,500 lb (680 kg) pallet load, with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm. The EC-500 has 32 × 25 × 28 in (813 × 635 × 711 mm), 19.69 in (500 mm) pallets and 880 lb (400 kg), but moves faster at 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min) against 710 ipm (18 m/min) for the EC-630.
The 30+1 side-mount changer takes tools up to 2.5 in (64 mm) in diameter with all pockets full, or 5 in (127 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty. Maximum tool length is 12 in (305 mm) and maximum weight is 12 lb (5.4 kg). A change takes 2.8 s tool-to-tool and 3.6 s chip-to-chip. Haas lists a 100-pocket tool changer as available.
Air at 9 scfm and 100 psi (255 L/min at 6.9 bar), with 100 psi (6.9 bar) as the minimum supply pressure, on a 1/2 in hose and coupler. Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Coolant capacity is 95 gal (360 L). The machine weighs 20,120 lb (9,126 kg) and its domestic shipping pallet is 202 × 100 × 111 in (513 × 254 × 282 cm).
