Haas Automation increases the speed and performance of the standard spindle on its expansive line of 40-taper VMCs, and introduces several new optional spindles.
All Haas VF-1 through VF-12, 40-taper VMCs are now equipped with a powerful 8100rpm inline direct-drive spindle that is driven by a 30hp vector drive system. The Haas inline system couples the spindle directly to the motor to reduce heat, increase power transmission, and provide excellent surface finishes. An optional 10,000rpm inline direct-drive spindle is available for shops wanting higher spindle speeds. Both spindles yield 90 ft/lbs of cutting torque.
For shops needing additional low-speed torque and wanting the flexibility of a gearbox, two optional gear-drive spindles are also available for standard Haas 40-taper VMCs. The optional spindles provide either 8100rpm or 10,000rpm, and feature a Haas-built, high-precision two-speed gearbox. Both geared spindles yield 250 ft/lbs of torque.
