VMCs OFFER SUPERIOR SPEED, ULTRA-FAST TOOL CHANGER

Haas offers its Super Speed (SS) Series plus the Haas Mini FMS. The VF-SS models come standard with an innovative 12,000-rpm spindle, 833-ipm cutting feeds, an ultra-fast tool changer and 1,400-ipm rapids. The unique inline, direct-drive system, powered by a 30-hp vector drive, doesn’t use belts or gears. Instead, the motor is coupled directly to the spindle.

This means less vibration, less heat and less noise – which add up to better surface finishes, thermal stability and very quiet operation. Lighter materials and a high-performance servomotor in the 24+1 side-mount tool changer provide tool change times of 1.6 seconds tool to tool. High-pitch ballscrews and high-torque servomotors on all axes provide express-lane rapids of 1,400 ipm. Add to this the Mini FMS, which features dual pallet stations and four 19 in x 40 in steel pallets. The heavy cast-iron base of each APC is secured directly to the VMC for stability, eliminating the need for further anchoring. While parts are being machined on one pallet, non-machining tasks such as fixture setups and part changeovers can be performed off-line. With all pallets loaded, the VMC may be run unattended. This integrated system requires minimal training and runs seamlessly from the VMC’s control. The Haas control features advanced tool management, single-button features, 15-inch color LCD monitor and a USB port.
