High speed 3-axis CNC vertical machining center for large parts
3 810 x 813 x 762 mm | VF-12/40 Haas Automation

With aerospace manufacturing trending toward monolithic airframe components and large composite structures, there is a growing need for large-travel machining centers. The VF-12 vertical machining center easily accommodates the large-volume machining found in the aerospace, automotive and mold and die industries.

The VF-12/40 features travels of 150" x 32" x 30" (xyz) and has a 150" x 28" (3810 x 711 mm) T-slot table. Standard equipment includes a side-mount tool changer, chip auger system, programmable coolant nozzle, rigid tapping, 95-gallon flood coolant system, 15" color LCD monitor with USB port and much more.

The VF-12/40 is equipped with a 20 hp vector drive spindle that spins to 7500 rpm and provides 75 ft-lb of torque. A 24+1 tool side-mount tool changer is standard, with a 40+1 tool side-mount optional. A 10,000-rpm spindle is available for high-speed work, and a two-speed geared-head spindle that yields 250 ft-lb of torque is available in both 7500-rpm and 10,000-rpm configurations.

The VF-12/40's massive cast-iron construction, triangulated wide-stance castings and heavy-duty outriggers prevent flex and damp vibration to provide high accuracy and consistent repeatability. Linear (glass) scales are available as an option for extremely precise positioning. Other high-productivity options include high-pressure through-spindle coolant, 4th- and 5th-axis drives, high-speed machining software, a wireless intuitive probing system and much more.
