Haas Automation, Inc. VF-7/50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features a robust 84" x 28" table capable of supporting workpieces up to 4,000 lbs, optimized for heavy-duty machining tasks. The vertical spindle accepts CT or BT #50 taper tooling, delivering up to 7,500 RPM standard with an optional upgrade to 10,000 RPM, powered by a 30 HP motor with a 30-minute rating for sustained high torque performance. It utilizes a 31-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with a 4.2-second tool change time, facilitating efficient production runs. The machine operates on a 3-axis configuration (X, Y, Z) with an optional 4th axis, providing travel ranges of 84" (X), 32" (Y), and 30" (Z), and rapid traverse rates up to 600 inches per minute on all three axes for high-speed positioning. The spindle is vertically oriented, ensuring precision vertical milling, drilling, and boring operations. Optional rotary or index tables enhance workholding flexibility. The machine is designed with industrial-grade components to support machining of large, heavy workpieces with high accuracy, rigidity, and thermal stability. Its advanced feed drives and rapid traverse capabilities enable efficient machining cycles while maintaining dimensional accuracy. This configuration suits diverse applications including aerospace, automotive, heavy machinery, and mold making, where large part capacity and reliable performance are critical. The spindle taper and tooling capacities follow widely accepted industrial standards, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of tooling systems and manufacturing environments.
