Overview

For heavy cuts on long, wide plates, the Haas VM-11/50 pairs a 60 hp (44.7 kW) 50-taper geared spindle with 120 × 40 × 30 in (3,048 × 1,016 × 762 mm) of travel. The table is 120 × 28 in (3,048 × 711 mm), narrower than the Y stroke, and rated for 4,000 lb (1,814 kg).

The spindle makes 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm through a 2-speed gearbox and tops out at 10,000 rpm. Compared with the VM-11, whose 30 hp (22.4 kW) spindle peaks at 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, that moves the useful range down to where big face mills and indexable drills run. Large tools are part of the point: the changer accepts 4 in (102 mm) diameters in a full magazine and 8 in (203 mm) with adjacent pockets empty, and Haas lists 10 in (254 mm) for extra-large tools.

A wide cutter also uses the Y travel differently. With 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y over a 28 in (711 mm) table, an 8 in face mill can run fully off both edges of a plate as wide as the table and still have stroke in hand, which is what a clean facing pass needs. X and Y thrust are 4,100 lbf (18,238 N) each and Z is 5,600 lbf (24,910 N).

Speed is not this machine's strength. Cutting feed and X rapids stop at 360 ipm (9.1 m/min), Y and Z rapid at 600 ipm (15.2 m/min), and a tool change takes 4.2 s tool-to-tool or 6.3 s chip-to-chip. Supply is 105 A at 220 VAC or 53 A at 440 VAC three-phase. Haas lists a shipping weight of 33,400 lb (15,150 kg) and a starting price of US$421,995.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm and 60 hp (44.7 kW) on a machine with 120 in (3,048 mm) of X
40 in (1,016 mm) of Y lets wide face mills clear both edges of the 28 in (711 mm) table
Carries tools up to 8 in (203 mm) in diameter with adjacent pockets empty and up to 30 lb (13.6 kg)
4,100 lbf (18,238 N) of thrust on X and on Y
2-speed gearbox with a 10,000 rpm top speed, covering roughing and finishing on one spindle

Limitations

Cutting feed and X rapids are capped at 360 ipm (9.1 m/min)
A tool change takes 4.2 s tool-to-tool, 6.3 s chip-to-chip
Table load is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg), modest for a 60 hp machine with a 120 in table
Top speed is 10,000 rpm against 12,000 rpm on the VM-11, and there is no HSK taper choice as on that model

Best For

Facing and squaring wide steel plates with large-diameter cutters Low-rpm drilling and boring along parts up to 120 in (3,048 mm) long Die and mold plates that overhang a 28 in (711 mm) table Work that needs 50-taper tools up to 30 lb (13.6 kg)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the largest face mill the VM-11/50 can carry?

With the neighbouring pockets left empty the changer takes tools up to 8 in (203 mm) in diameter, and Haas lists 10 in (254 mm) for extra-large tools with adjacent pockets empty. In a full 30+1 magazine the limit is 4 in (102 mm). Any tool must also stay within 16 in (406 mm) of length and 30 lb (13.6 kg).

02 How does the VM-11/50 differ from the VM-10/50?

The VM-11/50 has 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y travel; the VM-10/50 has 32 in (813 mm). Both sit on a 120 × 28 in (3,048 × 711 mm) table with 120 in (3,048 mm) of X and the same 60 hp (44.7 kW), 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) spindle rating. The VM-11/50 is the heavier of the two: 33,400 lb (15,150 kg) shipped against 30,100 lb (13,654 kg) for the VM-10/50.

03 Does the VM-11/50 have the same table as the VM-11?

Yes. Both are listed with a 120 × 28 in (3,048 × 711 mm) table, a 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load and travels of 120 × 40 × 30 in (3,048 × 1,016 × 762 mm). The difference is the spindle: 60 hp (44.7 kW) and a CT or BT 50 taper here, 30 hp (22.4 kW) and CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 on the VM-11.

04 Is the VM-11/50 fast enough for finishing work?

The spindle reaches 10,000 rpm, so smaller finishing cutters can be run, but the machine is geared toward torque: 350 ft-lbf (475 N·m) at 900 rpm. Cutting feed tops out at 360 ipm (9.1 m/min). If finishing with small tools is most of the work, the VM-11 runs to 12,000 rpm on the same travels.

05 What supply and air does the VM-11/50 need?

Electrical supply is 220 VAC three-phase at 105 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 53 A. Air use is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), and pressure at the machine must not fall below 80 psi (5.5 bar). The hose and coupler are both 3/8 in.
