Haas Automation, Inc. VF-6 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust table measuring 64.000 inches in length by 28.000 inches in width, capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,000 lbs. The machine is equipped with a vertical spindle utilizing a #40 taper, offering a maximum spindle speed of 8,100 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM, and a 30-minute horsepower rating of 30 HP (optional 20 HP). Tooling is managed by an automatic tool changer (ATC) with a capacity of 25 tools, achieving a tool change time of 2.8 seconds and a chip-to-chip time of 3.6 seconds. The machine supports three primary axes (X, Y, Z) with travel distances of 64.000", 32.000", and 30.000" respectively, each capable of a maximum feed rate of 500 IPM and rapid traverse speeds of 540 IPM. An optional fourth axis (A/B) is available, with A-axis travel up to 105.000° and B-axis rotation up to 360.000°, enabling complex multi-sided machining operations. The system does not include a pallet changer. The machine’s design allows for the optional integration of an index table or rotary table, enhancing its versatility for specialized machining tasks. With its high load capacity, precise axis control, and efficient tool management, this machining center is well-suited for demanding production environments requiring accuracy, reliability, and flexibility in part processing.
