Haas Automation, Inc. VF-3SS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a substantial 48" x 18" work table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,750 lbs, making it suitable for mid-to-large production runs. The spindle delivers impressive power with a 30 HP (30-minute rating) and accommodates either a standard CT40 taper or optional BT40 configuration. With a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM (expandable to 15,000 RPM), the machine handles diverse material requirements from aluminum to hardened steel. The three-axis configuration provides 40" of X-travel, 20" of Y-travel, and 25" of Z-travel, all capable of rapid traverse rates up to 1,400 IPM with consistent maximum feed rates of 833 IPM across all axes. The automatic tool changer (ATC) magazine holds 25 tools with an exceptionally fast tool change time of just 1.6 seconds (2.2 seconds including chip clearing), minimizing non-cutting time and maximizing productivity. Optional 4-axis capability enables advanced operations including rotational positioning for complex geometries. The machine's vertical spindle orientation combined with its generous workspace dimensions facilitates efficient chip evacuation and operator accessibility. This configuration represents an industrial-grade vertical machining center (VMC) optimized for precision manufacturing applications requiring high spindle speeds, rapid tool changes, and extended work envelope capacity.
