Haas Super VF-2SS to Demonstrate High-Speed Machining
Haas Automation, Inc., continues to
advance its line of VMCs with higher speeds and increased capabilities. The
VF-2SS is a high-performance vertical machining center that comes standard with
a 12,000-RPM inline direct-drive spindle, a fast tool changer and 1,400-IPM
rapids.
The VF-2SS is based on the Haas VF-2 platform (30" x 16" x 20" travels. The machine is equipped with a 12,000-RPM, 40-taper spindle that features an inline, direct-drive system that couples the motor directly to the spindle rather than using belts. Powered by a 30-HP vector drive system, the spindle yields plenty of low-end torque, as well as the speed necessary for high-speed machining operations.
The VF-2SS also features a high-speed side-mount tool changer with 24+1 tools. Lighter materials and a high-performance servo motor make this tool changer the fastest that Haas has ever built, with tool changes taking less than 1.6 seconds tool to tool. The VF-2SS uses high-pitch ballscrews and high-torque servo motors on all axes to provide rapids of 1,400 IPM.
It is possible to boost the VF-2SS capabilities even further with a high-performance package of options. This package includes an auger-style chip conveyor, programmable coolant nozzle, 16 MB program memory, Visual Quick Code programming, floppy disk drive, spindle orientation, 4th-axis drive, coordinate rotation and scaling, user-definable macros, remote jog handle and high-speed machining software.
