Haas Automation, Inc. VF-2SS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC vertical machining center features a rigid worktable measuring 36" x 14" with a maximum workpiece capacity of 1,500 lbs, supporting heavy and large parts for precise machining. It accommodates a 3-axis configuration (X: 30", Y: 16", Z: 20") with rapid traverse speeds of 1,400 ipm and maximum feed rates of 833 ipm, providing efficient material removal and positioning accuracy. The machine is equipped with a CT40 spindle taper as standard, with an optional upgrade to BT40, capable of speeds up to 12,000 RPM (optional 15,000 RPM) and delivering 30 HP (30-minute rating), ideal for high-speed precision milling. Tool management is handled by a 25-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC), featuring a fast tool change time of 1.6 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 2.2 seconds, maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime. The machine does not include a pallet changer or a 4th axis by default but can be optionally upgraded for enhanced flexibility. The construction supports optional rotary and indexed tables for complex workpiece positioning. The robust spindle power and tool capacity combined with high-speed feeds make this CNC mill suitable for a wide range of machining tasks, including heavy-duty milling, die making, and precision component manufacturing. Its modular design facilitates integration with CNC controls and advanced tooling systems, ensuring versatility and high throughput in industrial applications.
