Haas Automation, Inc. VF-5SS 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 1,750 lbs. The vertical spindle utilizes a CT or BT #40 taper, delivering high-speed performance with a maximum RPM of 12,000 (optionally up to 15,000 RPM) and a 30-minute HP rating of 30.00, ensuring efficient material removal and precision for demanding applications. Tooling is managed by a 24-station automatic tool changer (ATC), with a rapid tool change time of 1.6 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 2.2 seconds, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. The machine operates on three primary axes (X, Y, Z), with optional fourth-axis capability, providing versatile machining flexibility. Axis travels are 50.000 inches (X), 26.000 inches (Y), and 25.000 inches (Z), each supporting a maximum feed rate of 833 inches per minute and a rapid traverse rate of 1,200 inches per minute, enabling fast and accurate positioning. The absence of a U axis and pallet changer maintains a streamlined configuration focused on core milling tasks. This machining center is engineered for high-precision, high-efficiency production, ideal for complex parts requiring tight tolerances and rapid cycle times.
