HAAS VF-12 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machining center features an extensive X-axis travel of 150", Y-axis travel of 32", and Z-axis travel of 30", enabling large and complex part machining. The spindle offers a CAT-40 taper interface with a maximum rating of 30 HP, liquid cooling, and an inline direct drive system capable of reaching 8100 RPM, ensuring high power and precision in cutting operations. The spindle nose-to-table distance ranges from a minimum of 4" to a maximum of 34", accommodating varying workpiece sizes. The table measures 150" by 28" and supports up to 2,000 lbs, suitable for heavy, large-format machining. Maximum cutting feedrates reach 360 inches per minute (IPM), with rapid traverses of 360 IPM on X and 600 IPM on Y and Z axes, optimizing cycle times and throughput. Equipped with a 50-tool SMTC (servo-mounted tool changer), it accepts tools with diameters up to 2.5" full capacity and 6" adjacent empty slots, tool lengths up to 16", and weights up to 12 lbs. Tool-to-tool change time is 2.80 seconds with a chip-to-chip time of 3.60 seconds, allowing efficient multi-tool operations. The coolant system holds 95 gallons for effective heat management. Compressed air requirements are 4 SCFM at 100 PSI, with a minimum air pressure of 80 PSI. The machine's robust footprint measures 343" by 110" by 130" and weighs 36,300 lbs, ensuring stability during high-precision machining tasks. This equipment is suitable for large-scale, high-power milling applications requiring heavy-duty tool capacity, rapid feed rates, and precision tool holding with the CAT-40 taper standard.
