2022 Haas VF-2SS CNC Vertical Machining Center w/ Robot

The 2022 Haas VF-2SS Super-Speed Vertical Machining Center is engineered for manufacturers who crave Formula-One pace in a footprint barely wider than eight feet. Its inline direct-drive spindle delivers the full 30 horsepower vector punch all the way to 12 000 RPM, driving carbide cutters through stainless, Inconel or graphite with equal poise. Travels of 30 inches in X, 16 inches in Y and 20 inches in Z surround workpieces on a 36 by 14-inch table rated for 1 500 pounds, while 1 400 IPM rapids sprint between features and the side-mount carousel swaps any of 30 + 1 tools in under four seconds. A Next-Generation Control with one GB of program memory orchestrates high-speed machining, rigid tapping, DWO/TCPC and visual programming, keeping operators in command via 15-inch touch display and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Compared with the standard VF-2—whose 8 100 RPM spindle, 1 000 IPM rapids and umbrella changer suit general job-shop work—the VF-2SS surges ahead with 48 percent faster spindle speed, 40 percent quicker rapids and a side-mount tool changer that nearly halves swap time, then leapfrogs again by adding a fully integrated Robot Package 1. The six-axis arm loads blanks up to 15.4 pounds, tending the mill through nights and weekends without external PLCs or cumbersome teaching pendants. High-pressure through-spindle coolant (field-upgradable to 1 000 PSI) punches chips from deep pockets, while twin augers and a belt conveyor keep the enclosure pristine. Add Renishaw WIPS probing, automatic air blast, programmable vice and safe-run crash avoidance, and this VF-2SS becomes a single-setup, lights-out cell that compresses delivery schedules and expands profit margins for aerospace, medical and motorsport suppliers alike.
