Haas Automation, Inc. VF-4SS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Haas Automation VF-4SS Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance, 3-axis CNC machine designed for demanding milling applications. It features a robust 52" x 18" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 1,750 lbs, ensuring stability for large or heavy parts. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a CT or BT #40 taper, delivering a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM (with an optional upgrade to 15,000 RPM) and a 30 HP (30-minute rating) vector drive for powerful, efficient cutting across a wide range of materials. The VF-4SS comes standard with a 24-pocket automatic tool changer (ATC), enabling rapid tool changes with a tool-to-tool time of 1.6 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 2.2 seconds, significantly reducing cycle times. The machine offers generous travel distances of 50" on the X-axis, 20" on the Y-axis, and 25" on the Z-axis, providing ample workspace for complex machining tasks. Maximum feed rates reach 833 ipm, while rapid traverse speeds are an impressive 1,400 ipm on all axes, maximizing productivity. The VF-4SS is 4-axis ready, allowing for future expansion to accommodate more complex workpieces. Its direct-drive spindle, high-speed tool changer, and robust construction make it ideal for high-speed, high-precision machining in production environments.
