The Haas VF-2SS is a Super Speed 40-taper CNC vertical machining center, and this 2012 unit is configured for full 5-axis work with a Haas TR160 dual-axis trunnion table. It runs a 12,000 RPM inline direct-drive CT40 spindle rated at 30 HP, with X/Y/Z travels of 30 / 16 / 20 inches over a 36 x 14 inch table and high-speed rapids of 1,400 IPM. Tool changes are handled by the ultra-fast side-mount changer (24+1), and the machine is well equipped with Renishaw WIPS wireless probing, programmable coolant, a chip auger, high-intensity lighting, expanded memory, high-speed machining, the Intuitive Programming System, and power-failure detection.
Compared with the standard Haas VF-2, this Super Speed model steps up from an 8,100 RPM spindle to a 12,000 RPM inline direct-drive unit, nearly doubles rapid traverse to 1,400 IPM, and swaps the umbrella tool changer for a much faster side-mount changer - all of which cut cycle times on production work. The addition of the TR160 trunnion takes it further, turning a proven 3-axis workhorse into a compact 5-axis machining center capable of complex, single-setup parts. For a shop wanting Haas reliability with real 5-axis capability, this VF-2SS TR is a versatile, fast, and cost-effective platform.
