Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VP-5

How much does the Haas VP-5 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$249,995 for the Haas VP-5 (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-vp-5#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

What does the B axis on the VP-5 do?

It tilts through a range of +106° to -8° at up to 50°/sec. Haas lists 1,854 ft-lbf (2,514 N·m) of B-axis torque and a brake torque of 1,200 ft-lbf (1,626 N·m). The work surface in the table is a fixed 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) T-slot table with no platter listed, so angled features are reached by tilting on the B axis while the part stays clamped.

Is the VP-5 a full 5-axis machine?

The table Haas publishes for the VP-5 lists X, Y and Z travel and a B axis. It has no C-axis row, so as listed the machine has one rotary axis. For comparison, the PMC-1000SS is listed with both a B axis (120° to -35°) and a 360° C axis on a 25 in (635 mm) platter. If you need a second rotary axis on the VP-5, ask Haas what can be added to the table.

How does the VP-5 compare with the VF-3?

Both have 40 in (1,016 mm) of X, 25 in (635 mm) of Z, a 30 hp (22.4 kW) 8,100 rpm spindle and a 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) table load. The VP-5 adds the B axis, has 26 in (660 mm) of Y against 20 in (508 mm) on the VF-3, and a 54 × 24 in (1,372 × 610 mm) table against 48 × 18 in (1,219 × 457 mm). The VF-3 is quicker, with 1,000 ipm (25.4 m/min) rapids, and lighter at 11,720 lb (5,316 kg).

How long can tools be on the VP-5?

Up to 13 in (330 mm). Haas lists a separate maximum of 10.9 in (277 mm) for tools that are to be probed. Diameter is limited to 2.5 in (64 mm) with a full magazine and 5 in (127 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty, and weight to 12 lb (5.4 kg). The side-mount changer holds 50+1 tools.

What are the installation requirements for the VP-5?

Three-phase power at 220 VAC and 70 A or 440 VAC and 35 A, and air at 4 scfm and 100 psi (113 L/min at 6.9 bar) with a minimum of 80 psi (5.5 bar). The coolant tank holds 55 gal (208 L). It ships on a domestic pallet of 168 × 99 × 125 in (427 × 251 × 318 cm) at 15,360 lb (6,967 kg); those are shipping figures, not floor space.
