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

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 62.000 inches in length by 23.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,000 lbs. An optional index or rotary table can be added for enhanced versatility. The vertical spindle offers a choice of CT or BT #50 taper, with a maximum speed of 7,500 RPM (optional 10,000 RPM) and a 30 HP (30-minute rating) motor for high-performance cutting. The machine is equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC) supporting 30 tools (expandable to 40), with a tool change time of 4.2 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 6.3 seconds. The system operates with three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with an optional fourth axis (A or B) for advanced machining needs. Axis travels are 60.000 inches (X), 26.000 inches (Y), and 25.000 inches (Z), with rapid traverse rates of 710 inches per minute on all three axes and a maximum feed rate of 500 inches per minute. The A-axis provides 105.000° of rotation, while the B-axis offers full 360.000° rotation. The machine does not include a pallet changer or U-axis capability. This configuration delivers high rigidity, precision, and productivity for demanding milling applications.
