2012 HAAS VF5-50XT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2012 Haas VF5-50XT is a 3-axis vertical machining center built on Haas's proven VF-series platform. The -50XT combines a CAT 50 spindle interface with an extended Z-axis travel of 30 inches, offering both increased toolholder rigidity and enhanced vertical clearance for tall workpieces. The machine offers a work envelope of 60 inches in X, 26 inches in Y, and 30 inches in Z, with a 72 x 24-inch worktable providing a large fixturing surface for production and prototype work. The inline direct-drive spindle delivers 30 HP (continuous) and reaches a maximum speed of 7,500 RPM, covering a broad range of materials from cast iron and steel to aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. The Haas CNC controller supports full G-code programming, rigid tapping, and advanced canned cycles. The side-mount tool changer holds 30+1 tools, enabling multi-operation setups without operator intervention. Built on a heavily ribbed cast-iron structure, the VF5-50XT provides the thermal stability and vibration damping required for consistent part accuracy over extended production runs. Machine weight is approximately 23,500 lbs, reflecting the robust casting and linear-guide construction. This unit is suitable for job shops, tier suppliers, and in-house manufacturing operations requiring a reliable large-format VMC.
