Haas Automation VS-1 in Action & Demo

Frequently Asked Questions: Haas VS-1

How much does the Haas VS-1 cost?

Haas Automation publishes a list price of US$485,995 for the Haas VS-1 (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-vs-1#price; the request is passed to Haas Automation or an authorised dealer.

What is the difference between the VS-1 and the VS-3?

X travel and table length. The VS-3 has 150 in (3,810 mm) of X and a 153 × 49 in (3,886 × 1,245 mm) table; the VS-1 has 100 in (2,540 mm) and 102 × 49 in (2,591 × 1,245 mm). The VS-1 and VS-3 both have 50 in (1,270 mm) of Y and Z, a 7,500 rpm CT or BT 50 spindle with 340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, a 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) table load and 50+1 tools.

How tall a part fits on the VS-1?

The distance from spindle nose to table runs from 5 in (127 mm) to 55 in (1,397 mm), with 50 in (1,270 mm) of Z travel. Usable height is that 55 in maximum less the tool and holder, and the changer accepts tools up to 16 in (406 mm) long. Add part, fixture and the longest tool together before committing a tall job.

How much torque does the VS-1 spindle have?

340 ft-lbf (460 N·m) at 700 rpm, from a 30 hp (22.4 kW) motor through a 2-speed gearbox. Maximum speed is 7,500 rpm and the taper is CT or BT 50. Spindle bearings use air/oil injection lubrication. The torque suits large-diameter cutters in steel; the speed limit is the constraint for small tools.

How is the VS-1 delivered?

In three pieces. The column assembly weighs 23,060 lb (10,460 kg) on a 180 × 102 × 146 in (457 × 259 × 371 cm) pallet. The table assembly weighs 16,040 lb (7,276 kg) on a 299 × 82 × 97 in (759 × 208 × 246 cm) pallet. Sheet metal comes in its own crate of 89 × 57 × 50 in (226 × 145 × 127 cm) at 720 lb. Rigging, access and on-site assembly should be planned around those three loads.

What tools can the changer hold?

The side-mount tool changer holds 50+1 tools. With all pockets full the maximum tool diameter is 4 in (102 mm), and Haas lists 10 in (254 mm) with the adjacent pockets empty. Maximum tool length is 16 in (406 mm) and maximum weight 30 lb (13.6 kg). Tool-to-tool time is 6 s; chip-to-chip is 15 s.

What power and air does the VS-1 need?

Either 220 VAC three-phase at 70 A or 440 VAC three-phase at 35 A. Minimum air supply pressure is 80 psi (5.5 bar) through a 3/8 in inline hose and coupler; Haas's specification for this model gives no air consumption figure. Coolant capacity is 95 gal (360 L).
