The Haas VF-3SS is a 40-taper Super Speed vertical machining center with a reputation for fast, dependable, high-volume production in shops of every size. This 2006 machine delivers X, Y, and Z travels of 40 x 20 x 25 inch over a 48 x 18 inch table rated for 1,750 lb, driven by a 12,000 RPM, 30 HP CT40 inline spindle with 1,400 ipm rapids and an 833 ipm cutting feed to keep cycle times short. It is equipped with spindle and tool-setting probing, a 40-station side-mount tool changer, a chip auger, and a 4th-axis hookup for adding a rotary table, making it a high-speed, ready-to-run platform for production milling, drilling, and tapping.
Compared to the standard Haas VF-3 it is built on, the VF-3SS Super Speed model is a clear productivity upgrade rather than a trim change. Where the standard VF-3 runs an 8,100 RPM spindle and 1,000 ipm rapids, this Super Speed version steps up to a 12,000 RPM inline spindle and 1,400 ipm rapids, trimming air-cutting time and boosting throughput on the same rigid 40-taper platform. For a shop chasing shorter cycle times on high-volume work, this VF-3SS delivers more speed off the same trusted Haas base.
