Extra-Large Haas VMC for Monolithic Parts
Oxnard, CA - Extra-Large Haas VMC for Monolithic Parts - With aerospace manufacturing trending toward monolithic airframe components and large composite structures, there is a growing need for large-travel machining centers. The new VF-12 vertical machining center from Haas Automation, Inc., easily accommodates the large-volume machining found in the aerospace, automotive and mold and die industries.
The Haas VF-12 VMC features travels of 150" x 32" x 30" (xyz) and has a 150" x 28" T-slot table. It is available in both 40- and 50-taper configuration, with spindle speeds to 10,000 rpm. 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.
In 40-taper configuration, the VF-12 is equipped with a 20-hp vector dual-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 50-taper VF-12 features a 7500-rpm geared-head spindle that provides 450 ft-lb of torque for heavy cutting; it is powered by a 30-hp vector dual drive system that features on-the-fly wye-delta switching for a wide constant-horsepower band. A 30+1 tool side-mount tool changer is standard, and a 10,000-rpm geared-head spindle is available.
The VF-12'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.
Built in the USA by Haas, the VF-12 VMC is backed by the worldwide network of Haas Factory Outlets - the most extensive system of support and service in the industry.
