Overview

Length is what the Haas VF-7/40 sells. X travel is 84 in (2,134 mm) over an 84 × 28 in (2,134 × 711 mm) table, with 32 in (813 mm) of Y and 30 in (762 mm) of Z, under a 40-taper inline direct-drive spindle that runs to 8,100 rpm. That shape suits extrusions, rails, long plates and bar stock, or a line of vises worked as separate stations in one cycle.

The table is three times as long as it is wide, and that proportion decides how it gets used. Five T-slots on 4.92 in (125 mm) centres give the clamping pattern, and the load limit is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg). A long part sits along X with room to spare in Y; a square part that needs depth is better served by the VF-9/40, which keeps the 84 in X travel and adds a 40 in (1,016 mm) Y stroke over an 84 × 36 in (2,134 × 914 mm) table.

The spindle is rated 30 hp (22.4 kW) and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. For lower-speed work Haas lists an optional gearbox at 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm. Buyers who need more than that should look at the VF-7/50, with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm through a CT or BT 50 taper, and buyers who need speed at the VF-7SS, with 12,000 rpm but a 2,000 lb (907 kg) table limit.

Rapids are 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) on every axis, so an end-to-end move along X is not instant, and programs that hop between stations at opposite ends of the table will show it. The side-mount changer holds 30+1 tools and swaps them in 2.8 s. Haas's starting price is US$188,995. Shipping weight is 25,600 lb (11,612 kg) on a pallet 214 × 102 × 128.5 in (544 × 260 × 326 cm).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

84 in (2,134 mm) of X travel on an 84 × 28 in (2,134 × 711 mm) table
4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table capacity, double the 2,000 lb (907 kg) of the VF-7SS
Optional gearbox figure of 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm in Haas's table
Choice of CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 spindle taper
30 in (762 mm) of Z travel with the spindle nose 4 in (102 mm) to 34 in (864 mm) above the table

Limitations

Y travel is 32 in (813 mm); the VF-9/40 offers 40 in (1,016 mm) with equal X travel
Base spindle torque is 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, well short of the 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm of the VF-7/50
600 ipm (15.2 m/min) rapids make long X repositioning moves slow
A full magazine restricts tools to 2.5 in (64 mm) in diameter and 12 lb (5.4 kg)

Best For

Long, narrow parts such as rails and extrusions up to 84 in (2,134 mm) Several vises or fixtures set in a row along the X axis General milling and drilling with 40-taper tooling at up to 8,100 rpm Long plates up to 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) with their workholding

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How long a part can the VF-7/40 machine in one setup?

X travel is 84 in (2,134 mm) and the table is 84 in long, so the spindle can cover the full length of the table. Y travel is 32 in (813 mm) over a 28 in (711 mm) table width, and Z travel is 30 in (762 mm).

02 VF-7/40 or VF-9/40: which one fits my parts?

Both have 84 in (2,134 mm) of X and 30 in (762 mm) of Z. The VF-7/40 has 32 in (813 mm) of Y on an 84 × 28 in (2,134 × 711 mm) table. The VF-9/40 has 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y on an 84 × 36 in (2,134 × 914 mm) table. Table load is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) on each, and the spindles match at 8,100 rpm.

03 Can the VF-7/40 take heavier cuts with a gearbox?

Haas's table lists an optional gearbox at 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm, which is about 2.8 times the 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) of the direct-drive spindle. It is an option, so it has to be specified on a new machine and confirmed on a used one.

04 What are the VF-7/40 shipping dimensions?

The domestic pallet is 214 × 102 × 128.5 in (544 × 260 × 326 cm) and the export crate is 214 × 105.5 × 130 in (544 × 268 × 330 cm). Shipping weight is 25,600 lb (11,612 kg). These describe the machine as shipped and are not the installed floor area.

05 How quickly does the VF-7/40 change tools?

Tool-to-tool time is 2.8 s and chip-to-chip time is 3.6 s. The side-mount changer holds 30+1 tools up to 16 in (406 mm) long. Diameter is limited to 2.5 in (64 mm) with neighbouring pockets filled and 5 in (127 mm) with them empty.
