2008 HAAS VF5SS VERTICAL MACHINING CENTERS

Technical Description

The 2008 Haas VF5SS is a 3-axis vertical machining center built on Haas's proven VF-series platform. The SS (Super Speed) variant is configured for high-speed cutting, with a maximum spindle speed of 12,000 RPM. This makes it particularly well suited to aluminum, plastics, and other non-ferrous materials where high surface speeds improve cycle times and surface finish. The machine offers a work envelope of 60 inches in X, 26 inches in Y, and 25 inches in Z, with a 76 x 20-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 12,000 RPM, covering a broad range of materials from cast iron and steel to aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. The Haas CNC controller provides full G-code support, rigid tapping, and high-speed machining cycles. The 30+1 side-mount tool changer and CAT 40 tooling system support fast tool changes during high-volume production. Built on a heavily ribbed cast-iron structure, the VF5SS provides the thermal stability and vibration damping required for consistent part accuracy over extended production runs. Machine weight is approximately 22,000 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.
