Haas Automation, Inc. VF-6/50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a **64" x 28" worktable** supporting up to **4,000 lbs** of workpiece weight, accommodating large and heavy components. It operates with a **vertical spindle** taper of either **CT or BT #50**, delivering a standard top speed of **7,500 RPM**, with an optional upgrade to **10,000 RPM**, powered by a **30 HP motor (30-minute rating)** for heavy-duty cutting. The machine includes a 31-tool **Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)**, enabling tool swaps in approximately **4.2 seconds** and chip-to-chip change time of **6.3 seconds**, optimizing machining efficiency. Without a pallet changer, this center supports **3 axes (X = 64", Y = 32", Z = 30")**, with rapid traverse rates up to **540 inches per minute** and a feed rate of **500 inches per minute**. Optional 4-axis capability and table or rotary table support provide expanded versatility. The rotational axes feature an A-axis rotation of **105°** and a full **360° B-axis** rotation for advanced angular machining. The machine is designed for high-precision and heavy-duty milling, drilling, boring, and tapping operations on large, heavy parts used in aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery sectors. It combines substantial work capacity with a robust spindle for flexible, high-speed machining of complex geometries while maintaining consistent accuracy and productivity.
