Haas Automation, Inc. VF-8/50 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This vertical machining center features a robust **64" x 36" table** capable of supporting a maximum workpiece weight of **4,000 lbs**, suitable for handling large and heavy parts. It includes a **vertical spindle** compatible with both **CT and BT #50 tapers**, optimized for heavy-duty machining applications, with a standard max spindle speed of **7,500 RPM**, and an optional upgrade to **10,000 RPM** for enhanced cutting performance. The spindle is powered by a **30 HP motor (30-minute rating)** ensuring strong cutting torque. The machine is equipped with a **31-tool Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)**, delivering tool changes in **4.2 seconds** with an additional chip-to-chip time of **6.3 seconds**, enabling high productivity and reduced downtime. This CNC vertical machining center operates primarily on a **3-axis system (X, Y, Z)** with travel distances of **64" (X), 40" (Y), and 30" (Z)**, each axis capable of a max feed rate of **500 IPM** and rapid traverse rate up to **540 IPM**. Optional customization includes a 4th axis for rotational machining. With a vertical spindle design and heavy-duty taper options such as BT50 and CT50, this machine is engineered for high rigidity, stability, and precise tool holding, ideal for complex milling, drilling, and boring operations on large and dense workpieces. The rapid feed and traverse rates combined with a high-capacity tool magazine support efficient, high-volume production environments requiring versatile and robust machining capabilities.
