Haas Automation Inc. (Oxnard, CA) announced that recently it held HaasTec, an open house attracting more than 3,100 attendees to the company’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Oxnard. The four-day event drew visitors from the US, Canada and around the world, with attendees from 51 countries. In addition, more than 700 students – from regional high schools, colleges and universities – attended the event.

Held Oct. 10-13, HaasTec included machine demonstrations, extensive tours of Haas Automation’s one-million-square-foot facility, a catered lunch and 42 industry-partner booths, with representatives from major CAD/CAM, tooling, automation and workholding manufacturers. Also there were one of Haas F1 Team’s race cars from their 2016 FIA Formula One World Championship debut, and Stewart-Haas Racing’s No. 41 Haas Automation Chevrolet, driven by Kurt Busch in the NASCAR Cup Series.

There were 16 machines on display and running demos at HaasTec, including the soon-to be released UMC-1000 Universal Machining Center, the CL-1 Compact Lathe and the re-engineered EC-400 HMC. Attendees also got to see more than 200 Haas machines in action on the factory floor, making parts to build more Haas machines. Providing visitors with a historical perspective, HaasTec also included a display of the company’s very first VMC – VF-1 No. 1, fitted with an early Haas rotary table.
