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

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features a 50" x 26" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 200 lbs, ideal for medium-sized machining tasks. It provides 5 axes of motion, including linear travels of 50" (X), 26" (Y), and 25" (Z), with rotational axes A (240°) and B (360°) allowing complex part geometries. The spindle is vertical with a CT or BT #50 taper, supporting both ISO-standard tool holders with a 7/24 taper angle, optimized for heavy-duty and precision machining applications. The spindle offers a top speed of 7,500 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM, powered by a 30 HP motor rated for 30-minute operation intervals, upgradeable to 45 HP for higher cutting demands. Tool management is handled by a 31-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), delivering fast tool change times of 4.2 seconds and chip-to-chip times of 6.3 seconds, streamlining production cycles. Feed rates reach 500 inches per minute with rapid traverse speeds up to 710 ipm on linear axes, supporting efficient material removal and high throughput. The machine lacks a U axis and pallet changer but provides extensive capability for 5-axis simultaneous machining, making it suitable for complex aerospace, automotive, and mold manufacturing tasks where precision and flexibility are required. The spindle taper options (CT or BT #50) offer robust tool holding with symmetrical design for high-speed stability and vibration reduction, essential for maintaining accuracy during heavy cuts. This machine is engineered for high-performance milling operations combining power, precision, and versatility in a single platform.
