Haas Automation VF-6/50 in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VF-6/50

How much does the Haas VF-6/50 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$198,995 for the Haas VF-6/50 (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-6-50#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

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

The spindle. The VF-6/50 has a CT or BT 50 taper and a 2-speed gearbox giving 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, with a 7,500 rpm top speed. The VF-6/40 takes CT40, BT40 or HSK-A63 tooling, peaks at 90 ft-lbf (122 N·m) at 2,000 rpm and runs to 8,100 rpm. Travels of 64 × 32 × 30 in (1,626 × 813 × 762 mm), the 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table and the 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) load limit are the same on both.

How large a tool can the VF-6/50 tool changer hold?

With all 30+1 pockets occupied, a tool can be 4 in (102 mm) in diameter. Leaving the adjacent pockets empty raises that to 10 in (254 mm). Maximum length is 16 in (406 mm) and maximum weight is 30 lb (13.6 kg). A change takes 4.2 s tool-to-tool, or 6.3 s chip-to-chip.

How much room is there between the spindle and the table?

The spindle nose sits between 5 in (127 mm) and 35 in (889 mm) above the table across the 30 in (762 mm) Z travel. A 16 in (406 mm) tool on a tall fixture uses that up quickly, so add the fixture height, the part and the longest tool before committing a tall job.

When does the VF-8/50 make more sense than the VF-6/50?

When the part needs more Y. The VF-8/50 keeps the 50-taper spindle and 64 in (1,626 mm) of X but has 40 in (1,016 mm) of Y travel and a 64 × 36 in (1,626 × 914 mm) table. The VF-6/50 has 32 in (813 mm) of Y and a 64 × 28 in (1,626 × 711 mm) table. Table load is 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) on both.

What power and air does the VF-6/50 need?

Either 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Air consumption is 4 scfm at 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar), with a minimum supply pressure of 80 psi (5.5 bar) through a 3/8 in hose and coupler. The coolant tank holds 95 gal (360 L).
