Haas Automation, Inc. VF-5/50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 52.000 inches in length by 23.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining applications. The spindle is vertically oriented with a CT or BT #50 taper, providing compatibility with a wide range of tooling. Standard spindle speed reaches 7,500 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM for enhanced performance. The spindle delivers a 30 HP (30-minute rating) motor output, with an optional 45 HP configuration for demanding tasks. Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity of 31 tools, enabling efficient and rapid tool changes with a tool-to-tool change time of 4.2 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 6.3 seconds. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional fourth axis for expanded versatility. Axis travels are 50.000 inches (X), 26.000 inches (Y), and 25.000 inches (Z), with rapid traverse speeds of 710 ipm on all three axes, ensuring fast and precise movement. The A-axis offers 105.000° rotation, and the B-axis provides full 360.000° rotation, supporting complex multi-sided machining. The system supports optional index and rotary tables for specialized setups. This machining center is engineered for high productivity, accuracy, and flexibility in a wide range of industrial applications.
