Haas Automation VF-6/40 in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VF-6/40

How much does the Haas VF-6/40 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$164,995 for the Haas VF-6/40 (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-6-40#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

How large is the work envelope of the Haas VF-6/40?

64 in (1,626 mm) in X, 32 in (813 mm) in Y and 30 in (762 mm) in Z. The table is 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) with five T-slots on 4.92 in (125 mm) centres and a 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) load limit. Spindle nose to table runs from 4 in (102 mm) to 34 in (864 mm).

What is the difference between the VF-6/40 and the VF-6/50?

The spindle. The VF-6/40 is a CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 machine with 8,100 rpm and 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm. The VF-6/50 is a CT or BT 50 machine with 7,500 rpm and 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm. Travels, table, 30 hp (22.4 kW), rapids of 600 ipm (15.2 m/min) and the 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) table load match. The VF-6/50 ships at 25,500 lb (11,567 kg) against 22,300 lb (10,116 kg).

Is there a version with more Y travel than the VF-6/40?

Yes. The VF-8/40 keeps 64 in (1,626 mm) of X and 30 in (762 mm) of Z and extends Y to 40 in (1,016 mm) on a 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table. Spindle, rapids and table load on the VF-8/40 match the VF-6/40, and its shipping weight is 24,800 lb (11,250 kg).

What tool sizes does the VF-6/40 changer accept?

The side-mount changer holds 30+1 tools up to 16 in (406 mm) long and 12 lb (5.4 kg). There are three diameter limits in Haas's table: 2.5 in (64 mm) when the neighbouring pockets are occupied, 5 in (127 mm) when they are empty, and 6 in (152 mm) for an extra-large tool with adjacent pockets empty. Tool-to-tool time is 2.8 s and chip-to-chip 3.6 s.

What should I plan for when installing a VF-6/40?

Weight and size first. The shipping weight is 22,300 lb (10,116 kg) and the domestic pallet is 195 × 102 × 128.5 in (496 × 260 × 326 cm). Power is 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A, and air is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) with an 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum.
