The Haas VF-2SS is a Super-Speed CNC vertical machining center with a reputation for straightforward, dependable performance that has made it a staple in job shops and production cells across North America. This 2021 Haas VF-2SS VMC offers X / Y / Z travels of 30 x 16 x 20 inches, a 12,000 RPM CAT 40 taper spindle, and a high-speed 30+1 side-mount automatic tool changer for fast tool-to-tool changes. The Haas CNC control with touch screen is equipped with rigid tapping, high-speed machining, dynamic work offsets and tool center point control, 1 GB of program memory, Ethernet, WiFi connectivity, HaasDrop, and HaasConnect remote monitoring. The machine carries 4th-axis drive and wiring for rotary table integration, through-spindle coolant at 300 psi, high-pressure flood coolant, a programmable coolant nozzle, an auxiliary coolant filter, a coolant mist condenser, and a 55-gallon coolant tank with oil skimmer and automatic coolant refill. Window air blast and a chip auger handle chip management, and the machine is set up for 220V 3-phase power.
Compared with the earlier Haas VF-2SS built on the Haas classic control and the standard Haas VF-2, the 2021 VF-2SS is a meaningful step forward. The standard VF-2 runs an 8,100 RPM spindle and a carousel-style umbrella tool changer, while the VF-2SS moves to a 12,000 RPM spindle and a high-speed 30+1 side-mount tool changer that cuts non-cutting time on every tool change. The current-generation Haas control adds a touch screen interface, 1 GB of program memory, WiFi and Ethernet networking, HaasDrop file transfer, and HaasConnect remote monitoring that the classic-control machines never offered. Dynamic work offsets and tool center point control simplify 4th-axis work, and 4th-axis drive and wiring make adding a rotary straightforward. For shops stepping up from an older VF-2 or classic-control VF-2SS, this machine delivers faster spindle speed, quicker tool changes, and a far more connected control platform.
