Haas Automation VF-5/40 in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VF-5/40

How much does the Haas VF-5/40 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$120,995 for the Haas VF-5/40 (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-5-40#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

What is the difference between the VF-5/40 and the VF-5/50?

The spindle and tool changer. The VF-5/40 has a CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 spindle with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm, 8,100 rpm top speed and a 20-tool carousel. The VF-5/50 has a CT or BT 50 spindle with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, 7,500 rpm top speed and 30+1 tools. Travels, table size, the 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load and 30 hp (22.4 kW) are common to both. The VF-5/50 ships heavier, at 14,920 lb against 12,700 lb (5,761 kg).

How much faster is the VF-5SS than the VF-5/40?

The VF-5SS reaches 12,000 rpm, rapids at 1,200 ipm (30.5 m/min) and cuts at up to 833 ipm (21.2 m/min). The VF-5/40 reaches 8,100 rpm, rapids at 710 ipm (18 m/min) and cuts at up to 500 ipm (12.7 m/min). The trade is table load: 1,750 lb (794 kg) on the VF-5SS against 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) here.

Does the VF-5/40 have a gearbox?

Not as built. The base spindle is inline direct-drive. Haas's specification table has a separate optional-gearbox row giving 250 ft-lbf (339 N·m) at 450 rpm, compared with 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm without it. The table gives one power figure, 30 hp (22.4 kW).

What are the table and clearance dimensions of the VF-5/40?

Table 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm), seven T-slots 0.626 to 0.63 in (15.9 to 16 mm) wide on 3.15 in (80 mm) centres, 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) maximum load. Spindle nose to table is 4.2 in (107 mm) at minimum and 29.2 in (742 mm) at maximum.

What utilities does the VF-5/40 need?

Three-phase power at 220 VAC and 70 A, or 440 VAC and 35 A. Compressed air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), never below 80 psi (5.5 bar), through a 3/8 in hose and coupler. For rigging, Haas gives a shipping weight of 12,700 lb (5,761 kg) on a 168 × 101.5 × 109 in (427 × 258 × 277 cm) domestic pallet.
