Haas Automation VF-4SS in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VF-4SS

How much does the Haas VF-4SS cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$107,995 for the Haas VF-4SS (verified 2026-10-02). Options, tooling, freight and installation are extra, so a dealer quote will differ. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/haas-vf-4ss#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

How fast is the Haas VF-4SS?

The spindle turns at up to 12,000 rpm. Rapids are 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min) and the maximum cutting feedrate is 833 ipm (21.2 m/min). A tool change takes 1.8 s tool-to-tool and 2.4 s chip-to-chip. On a 50 in (1,270 mm) X axis those figures matter most when a program visits many parts or many features per cycle.

What do I give up by choosing the VF-4SS instead of the VF-4?

Table load, mainly. The VF-4SS is rated 1,750 lb (794 kg) and the VF-4 3,500 lb (1,588 kg). Haas's table for the VF-4SS also shows no gearbox torque figure, and a full magazine limits tool diameter to 2.5 in (64 mm). Travels, table size, 30 hp (22.4 kW) power and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) torque are the same on both.

How much does the VF-4SS weigh?

Haas's shipping section gives no figure for the machine without options. It lists 12,181 lb (5,525 kg) with the 50+1 side-mount tool changer, 13,800 lb (6,260 kg) with the conveyor, 13,420 lb (6,087 kg) with both, and 13,840 lb (6,278 kg) with the 70+1 changer. The domestic pallet for the base build is 152 × 99 × 106 in (387 × 251 × 269 cm). Ask for the weight of the exact build before arranging rigging.

What size tools can the VF-4SS run?

CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 holders, up to 13 in (330 mm) long and 12 lb (5.4 kg). Diameter is 2.5 in (64 mm) with tools in the neighbouring pockets and 5 in (127 mm) with those pockets empty.

Is there a VF-4SS with more Y travel?

Not under that name. The nearest machine is the VF-5SS, which has the same 50 in (1,270 mm) of X with 26 in (660 mm) of Y and a 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) table. The VF-5SS has the same 12,000 rpm spindle and 1,750 lb (794 kg) table load, and its rapids are 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min) where the VF-4SS has 1,400 ipm (35.6 m/min).
