Overview

The Haas VF-10/50 is a 50-taper vertical with 120 in (3,048 mm) of X travel, built for long parts in materials that fight back. Y travel is 32 in (813 mm), Z is 30 in (762 mm), and the 120 × 28 in (3,048 × 711 mm) table is rated for 4,000 lb (1,814 kg).

Its spindle and its X axis are well matched. The 2-speed gearbox supplies 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, and heavy cuts of that kind run at low feedrates anyway, so the 360 ipm (9.1 m/min) ceiling on X rapid and on cutting feed costs less here than it does on the VF-10/40, a machine with an 8,100 rpm spindle and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm on the same axes. Y and Z rapid at 600 ipm (15.2 m/min). If the work is long steel sections with milled pads, keyways, slots and large tapped holes, the slow traverse is a small part of each cycle.

Tooling capacity suits that work. The magazine has 30+1 pockets for CT or BT 50 holders, each tool up to 30 lb (13.6 kg), with a 4 in (102 mm) diameter limit that rises to 10 in (254 mm) beside empty pockets. Changes take 4.2 s. The spindle is liquid cooled, lubricated by air / oil injection, and tops out at 7,500 rpm, with 5 in (127 mm) to 35 in (889 mm) between nose and table.

At 31,600 lb (14,334 kg) and 288 in long on its pallet, the VF-10/50 is a rigging project as much as a purchase. Haas lists it from US$362,995.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What spindle does the VF-10/50 have?

A CT or BT 50 spindle driven through a 2-speed gearbox, rated 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, with a 7,500 rpm maximum. Cooling is liquid and the bearings are lubricated by air / oil injection.

02 How does the VF-10/50 differ from the VF-10/40?

Only at the spindle and in weight. The VF-10/40 uses CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 tooling at up to 8,100 rpm with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm and ships at 30,100 lb (13,654 kg). The VF-10/50 ships at 31,600 lb (14,334 kg). Both travel 120 × 32 × 30 in (3,048 × 813 × 762 mm) and both are limited to 360 ipm (9.1 m/min) on X.

03 Is there a version of the VF-10/50 with more Y or more X?

The VF-11/50 has the same 120 in (3,048 mm) of X with 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y, and the VF-12/50 has 150 in (3,810 mm) of X with 32 in (813 mm) of Y. Both use the 50-taper spindle listed at 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm.

04 How fast can the VF-10/50 feed and rapid?

X rapids at 360 ipm (9.1 m/min) and the maximum cutting feedrate is 360 ipm (9.1 m/min). Y and Z rapid at 600 ipm (15.2 m/min), which is about 67% faster than X. Thrust is 3,400 lbf (15,124 N) in X.

05 What are the shipping dimensions of the VF-10/50?

288 × 102 × 132 in (732 × 260 × 336 cm) on a domestic pallet, or 288 × 105 × 133.5 in (732 × 267 × 339 cm) in an export crate, at 31,600 lb (14,334 kg). Those figures describe the load on the truck, so the installed layout should be taken from Haas's installation documents.
