2019 Haas VF-8/40 CNC Vertical Mill

The 2019 Haas?VF-8/40 is a large-frame vertical machining center offering 64?inch X, 40?inch Y, and 30?inch Z travels across a 64?×?36?inch T-slot table with 4,000?lb load capacity. It’s powered by a 30?HP direct-drive CT-40 spindle spinning at 15,000?RPM, features a 50+1 side-mount automatic tool changer, 600?IPM rapids on all axes, 300?PSI thru-spindle coolant, wireless intuitively-probing system, and a multi-auger chip conveyor—all controlled via Haas NextGen.

Compared to the smaller VF-6/40—which shares the 64?inch X but has only 32?inch Y travel, lower spindle speeds, and lacks a trunnion—the VF-8/40 elevates capability with extended Y-axis, 15?k?RPM spindle, and a TR-310 tilting-trunnion rotary table for full 5-axis machining. While the VF-6/40 is solid for general large-panel work, the VF-8/40 excels at complex multi-face contours, deeper Z-axis clearance, and lights-out precision for aerospace and heavy-duty production.
