Overview

The Haas VF-6/40TR is a large-frame five-axis VMC: 64 × 32 × 30 in (1,626 × 813 × 762 mm) of travel and a two-axis trunnion whose 12.2 in (310 mm) platter is rated for 500 lb (226.8 kg). A tilts ±120°, B rotates 360°, and maximum part swing is 31 in (787 mm).

A 500 lb platter rating with 31 in of swing puts mid-size castings, manifolds and tooling components within reach of a single clamping. Around the trunnion sits a 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table with 5 T-slots on 4.92 in (125 mm) centres and a 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) rating, and the machine as shipped weighs 26,100 lb (11,839 kg). This is a heavy platform carrying a moderate rotary load.

The axis figures point the same way. Z thrust is 5,600 lbf (24,910 N), about 65% more than the 3,400 lbf (15,124 N) of X and Y, which favours drilling, boring and plunge roughing. Rapids are 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) and the trunnion rapids at 50°/sec with a 33°/sec cutting limit. None of that is quick. The VF-6/40TR earns its place on larger parts and steady cuts, not on short-cycle work.

The spindle is the 8,100 rpm, 30 hp (22.4 kW) inline direct-drive unit with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, liquid cooled, and Haas lists an optional gearbox at 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm. Buyers who need more torque than that should compare the VF-6/50TR, with identical travels and 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm from a CT or BT 50 spindle.

Relative to the platter the spindle nose is listed from -11 in (-279 mm) to 19 in (483 mm); from the table, 4 in (102 mm) to 34 in (864 mm). Haas's starting price is US$258,995.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Trunnion platter rated for 500 lb (226.8 kg) with 31 in (787 mm) of part swing
64 × 32 × 30 in (1,626 × 813 × 762 mm) travels on a machine that ships at 26,100 lb (11,839 kg)
Z-axis thrust of 5,600 lbf (24,910 N) for drilling and boring
A tilt of ±120° with full 360° B rotation
16 in (406 mm) maximum tool length in the 30+1 side-mount changer
64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table rated for 4,000 lb (1,814 kg)

Limitations

Rapids are 600 ipm (15.2 m/min); the smaller VF-5/40TR is listed at 710 ipm (18 m/min)
Trunnion axes rapid at 50°/sec and cut at no more than 33°/sec
Base spindle torque is 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m); the 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) gearbox is optional
Platter diameter is 12.2 in (310 mm), small against a 500 lb (226.8 kg) rating, so heavy parts overhang it
Tool weight is capped at 12 lb (5.4 kg)

Best For

Mid-size five-axis parts up to 500 lb (226.8 kg) including fixture Castings and manifolds drilled and bored on several faces Parts that swing up to 31 in (787 mm) on the trunnion 3+2 machining where 33°/sec rotary feed is not a constraint

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What can the VF-6/40TR trunnion carry?

Up to 500 lb (226.8 kg) on a 12.2 in (310 mm) platter with 6 T-slots 0.625 in (16 mm) wide. Maximum part swing is 31 in (787 mm). A part near the weight limit will be much larger than the platter, so the fixture has to spread the load and keep the centre of mass close to the rotary axis.

02 How much vertical room is there?

The spindle nose is listed from -11 in (-279 mm) to 19 in (483 mm) relative to the platter, and from 4 in (102 mm) to 34 in (864 mm) above the table. The negative figure shows that the nose can go below platter level to reach a tilted part. Over the platter, 19 in must cover fixture, part and tool; tools can be up to 16 in (406 mm) long.

03 VF-6/40TR or VF-6/50TR?

The travels, table and 30 hp (22.4 kW) rating are the same. The VF-6/50TR has a CT or BT 50 spindle with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm and a 7,500 rpm top speed, and ships at 26,460 lb (12,003 kg). The VF-6/40TR has 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, runs to 8,100 rpm and takes CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 tooling. Choose on cutter size and material.

04 How does it compare with the UMC-1500-Duo?

The UMC-1500-Duo has 60 × 20 × 20 in (1,524 × 508 × 508 mm) travels, a 19.7 in (500 mm) platter rated for 660 lb (300 kg), 900 ipm (22.9 m/min) rapids and a 650 ipm (16.5 m/min) cutting feedrate. The VF-6/40TR has more Y and Z, at 32 in (813 mm) and 30 in (762 mm), a 500 lb (226.8 kg) platter rating, and slower axes at 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) and 500 ipm (12.7 m/min).

05 What are the shipping size and utility requirements?

The machine is listed at 26,100 lb (11,839 kg) on a domestic pallet of 195 × 102 × 135 in (496 × 260 × 343 cm). Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC at 35 A. Air is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) with an 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum, and the coolant tank holds 95 gal (360 L).
