2017 HAAS VF2 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2017 Haas VF2 is a 3-axis vertical machining center and Haas's most popular VMC model, widely used across job shops, production facilities, and manufacturing operations of all sizes. It offers a work envelope of 30 inches in X, 16 inches in Y, and 20 inches in Z, paired with a 36 x 14 inch T-slot table that accommodates a broad range of workpiece sizes and fixturing configurations. Power is supplied by a 20 HP vector dual-drive spindle motor driving a CAT40 taper spindle to a standard maximum speed of 7,500 RPM, with optional 8,100 RPM or 12,000 RPM spindle upgrades available on many units. The machine supports a wide variety of materials including steel, aluminum, titanium, and plastics. A side-mount tool changer accommodates up to 20 tools, enabling efficient unattended operation. The machine is equipped with the Haas CNC control, providing a conversational programming interface, a large color display, and integrated tool-life management. The VF2 is built on a rigid cast iron base, contributing to its solid vibration damping and long-term repeatability. Coolant-through capability and an enclosed work area with full chip and coolant containment are standard. The machine weighs approximately 8,500 lbs and is a proven platform well-supported by Haas's extensive global service and parts network.
