Phillips Machine Tools Asia has announced the launch of the Haas UMC Masters Club, an exclusive membership community created for customers who have invested in Haas 5-Axis Universal Machining Center (UMC) Series machines through Phillips Machine Tools Asia.
The initiative has been designed to recognise UMC owners and support them with preferential benefits, technical learning, expert access, and long-term value throughout the machine ownership journey.
The Haas UMC Masters Club was formally inaugurated by Gaurav Luthra, Technical Director of Auxein Medical. Auxein Medical is among Asia’s leading adopters of Haas UMC technology, with one of the highest numbers of UMC installations on the continent.
In recognition of his deep expertise, commitment to 5-axis precision manufacturing, and standing within the advanced manufacturing community, Phillips Machine Tools Asia has appointed Gaurav Luthra as the Official Brand Ambassador of the Haas UMC Masters Club.
The Haas UMC Series is widely used by manufacturers across aerospace, automotive, defence, and medical sectors for complex 5-axis machining applications where precision, repeatability, rigidity, and versatility are critical.
The UMC Masters Club has been created to help members get greater value from their machines at every stage of ownership. It brings together commercial benefits, expert-led technical support, structured learning, and a community-driven platform for manufacturers working with advanced machining technologies.
A Community Built for UMC Owners
The Haas UMC Masters Club is structured around three core principles:
Preferential Benefits
Members gain access to exclusive commercial advantages designed to protect and extend their investment. These include service and maintenance support, referral rewards, and priority access to technical events.
Technical Learning and Expert Support
The Club supports manufacturing excellence through operator excellence. Members receive access to complimentary Haas Factory Outlet training programmes and expert OPTO consultations focused on improving machining efficiency, reducing cycle times, and unlocking the full performance potential of Haas UMC machines.
Lifecycle Value
A Haas UMC is a long-term manufacturing asset. The Masters Club is designed to support members from commissioning to peak utilisation, helping ensure that the return on investment continues to grow over time.
Tiered Membership Recognition
The Haas UMC Masters Club follows a tiered membership structure with Gold, Silver, and Bronze categories. These tiers reflect the depth of a member’s engagement and investment with Phillips Machine Tools Asia, with each category offering its own set of benefits.
Members are encouraged to connect directly with Phillips Machine Tools Asia to understand the benefits available under their respective membership tier.
With the launch of the Haas UMC Masters Club, Phillips Machine Tools Asia aims to build a stronger ecosystem for advanced manufacturing customers, enabling Haas UMC owners to improve productivity, strengthen technical expertise, and maximise value from their 5-axis machining investments.
