Overview

The Haas VF-6/50TR pairs a geared 50-taper spindle with a two-axis trunnion. Travels are 64 × 32 × 30 in (1,626 × 813 × 762 mm). The spindle delivers 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm through a 2-speed gearbox and tops out at 7,500 rpm, and the trunnion platter is 12.2 in (310 mm) across and carries 500 lb (226.8 kg).

Torque is the reason to pick this model. The VF-6/40TR has the same travels, table and 30 hp (22.4 kW) rating but produces 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, so the 50-taper machine has about 3.8 times the torque at roughly a third of the speed. Power is equal; what changes is where in the speed range it can be used. Large cutters in steel, iron and tough alloys run slowly, and that is where this spindle is strong.

The tool changer is sized accordingly. It holds 30+1 tools up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) and 16 in (406 mm) long, 4 in (102 mm) in diameter with every pocket full and 10 in (254 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty. Changes take 4.2 s tool-to-tool and 6.3 s chip-to-chip, which adds up on parts that use many tools.

One thing deserves thought before ordering. The spindle can put 340 ft-lbf into a cutter of up to 10 in, while the part sits on a rotary platter rated for 500 lb, and Haas's table gives no torque or brake figure for the trunnion axes. Heavy roughing is best planned as positioned work, with the rotary limits confirmed with Haas for the specific job. A and B rapid at 50°/sec and cut at up to 33°/sec.

Thrust is 3,400 lbf (15,124 N) in X, 4,100 lbf (18,238 N) in Y and 5,600 lbf (24,910 N) in Z. The machine ships at 26,460 lb (12,003 kg), and Haas lists a starting price of US$283,995.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm from a 2-speed gearbox spindle in CT or BT 50
Tool changer takes tools up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) and 10 in (254 mm) in diameter with adjacent pockets empty
Trunnion with ±120° A tilt and 360° B rotation, rated for 500 lb (226.8 kg)
Thrust of 5,600 lbf (24,910 N) in Z and 4,100 lbf (18,238 N) in Y

Limitations

Tool change takes 4.2 s tool-to-tool and 6.3 s chip-to-chip
No torque or brake figures are listed for the trunnion axes, so rotary holding capacity under heavy cuts has to be confirmed
Top speed is 7,500 rpm, which limits small-tool work
Rapids are 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) and rotary cutting feed is 33°/sec
The 12.2 in (310 mm) platter is small for 10 in (254 mm) cutters and 500 lb (226.8 kg) parts

Best For

Five-sided roughing of steel and iron parts up to 500 lb (226.8 kg) Large face mills, drills and boring tools up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) Low-speed, high-torque cutting at around 700 rpm Shops with existing CT or BT 50 tooling that want trunnion access

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much torque does the VF-6/50TR spindle have?

340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, from a 30 hp (22.4 kW) motor through a 2-speed gearbox. Top speed is 7,500 rpm and the taper is CT or BT 50. The VF-6/40TR, by comparison, lists 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm and 8,100 rpm with the same 30 hp (22.4 kW).

02 What is the largest tool the VF-6/50TR can load?

Tools may weigh up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) and be up to 16 in (406 mm) long. With the 30+1 magazine full the diameter limit is 4 in (102 mm). With the pockets on both sides empty it is 10 in (254 mm). Each change takes 4.2 s tool-to-tool and 6.3 s chip-to-chip.

03 How big a part fits on the trunnion?

The platter is 12.2 in (310 mm) in diameter with 6 T-slots and is rated for 500 lb (226.8 kg). Maximum part swing is 31 in (787 mm). The spindle nose is listed from -10 in (-254 mm) to 20 in (508 mm) relative to the platter and from 5 in (127 mm) to 35 in (889 mm) above the table.

04 Does the 50-taper spindle need a bigger electrical supply?

The listing is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. The motor is rated 30 hp (22.4 kW); the higher torque comes from the gearbox, not from more power. Air is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) with an 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum.

05 How does the VF-6/50TR differ from the VF-5/40TR?

It is a larger frame with a larger taper. The VF-5/40TR has 50 × 26 × 25 in (1,270 × 660 × 635 mm) travels, a 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) table, 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm and a shipping weight of 12,700 lb (5,761 kg). The VF-6/50TR has 64 × 32 × 30 in (1,626 × 813 × 762 mm), a 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table, 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm and 26,460 lb (12,003 kg).
