Overview

The Haas VF-5/40XT stretches the VF-5/40 along X. Travel is 60 × 26 × 25 in (1,524 × 660 × 635 mm), the table is 62 × 23 in (1,575 × 584 mm), and the spindle is the 40-taper, 30 hp (22.4 kW), 8,100 rpm inline direct-drive unit.

Against the VF-5/40 the gain is X travel, 60 in (1,524 mm) in place of 50 in (1,270 mm), a 20% increase, with Y and Z unchanged. The table is longer but slightly narrower: 62 × 23 in here, 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) on the VF-5/40. Table load is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) on both. The longer machine is also heavier to ship, 15,600 lb (7,100 kg) against 12,700 lb (5,761 kg) for the VF-5/40.

The next size up is a different class of machine. The VF-6/40 has 64 in (1,626 mm) of X, barely more than the XT, but adds Y and Z to 32 in (813 mm) and 30 in (762 mm), ships at 22,300 lb (10,116 kg) and rapids at 600 ipm (15.2 m/min). For long parts that are not also wide or tall, the VF-5/40XT covers nearly the same length on a lighter, faster-moving frame.

X thrust is 3,400 lbf (15,124 N), with 4,100 lbf (18,238 N) on Y and Z. Torque is 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, or 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm with the optional gearbox. Rapids are 710 ipm (18 m/min) and feed tops out at 500 ipm (12.7 m/min), so long repositioning moves add up over a batch. The 20-tool carousel handles tools up to 3.5 in (89 mm) in diameter and changes in 4.5 s chip-to-chip; a 50+1 side-mount tool changer appears in Haas's shipping table as an alternative build at 16,110 lb (7,308 kg). The starting price is US$141,995.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does XT add to the VF-5/40?

X travel. The VF-5/40XT has 60 in (1,524 mm) of X where the VF-5/40 has 50 in (1,270 mm). Y and Z stay at 26 in (660 mm) and 25 in (635 mm), and the spindle, 20-tool carousel and 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load are the same. The table changes from 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) on the VF-5/40 to 62 × 23 in (1,575 × 584 mm).

02 Should I buy the VF-5/40XT or the VF-6/40?

Look at Y and Z. The VF-5/40XT has 60 × 26 × 25 in (1,524 × 660 × 635 mm) of travel. The VF-6/40 has 64 × 32 × 30 in (1,626 × 813 × 762 mm), a 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table and 30+1 tools, with rapids of 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) and a shipping weight of 22,300 lb (10,116 kg). If the parts are long but fit within 26 in of Y, the XT does the job at 15,600 lb (7,100 kg) and 710 ipm (18 m/min).

03 How much torque does the VF-5/40XT have for heavy cuts?

As built, 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm from a 30 hp (22.4 kW) direct-drive spindle. The optional gearbox is listed at 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm. If that is still not enough, the VF-5/50XT has the same travels with a 50-taper spindle rated 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm.

04 What are the tool changer limits on the VF-5/40XT?

The base machine has a 20-tool carousel: tools up to 3.5 in (89 mm) in diameter and 12 lb (5.4 kg), 4.2 s tool-to-tool, 4.5 s chip-to-chip. Haas's shipping table also lists the machine with a 50+1 side-mount tool changer at 16,110 lb (7,308 kg), which is a separate configuration.

05 How is the VF-5/40XT table laid out?

It is 62 × 23 in (1,575 × 584 mm), carrying seven T-slots that are 0.626 to 0.63 in (15.9 to 16 mm) wide and 3.15 in (80 mm) apart. The load limit is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg). At the bottom of Z the spindle nose is 4.2 in (107 mm) above the surface; at the top it is 29.2 in (742 mm).
