Convertible 5-Axis

Haas Automation, Inc. expanded its line of 5-axis machines with the VF-2TR trunnion machining center, a compact VMC equipped with a factory-installed dual axis trunnion table that provides full 5- axis capabilities for machining complex multi-sided parts in a single setup, thus reducing setup time and increasing part accuracy.

Based on the shop-proven Haas VF-2, with 30” x 16” x 20”travels, 40- taper spindle and 20 hp vector dualdrive system, the VF-2TR features a Haas TR160 dual-axis trunnion table mounted to the standard T-slot table to provide 5-axis simultaneous motion or position a workpiece to nearly any angle for machining. The trunnion provides ±120 degrees of tilt on the A axis and a full 360 degrees of continuous rotation on the B axis.

Providing further versatility, the TR160 can easily be removed from the machine when only 3-axis machining is required; the machine’s standard 36” x 14” T-slot table provides plenty of room for fixtures and vises. Precision mounting keys make reinstalling and aligning the trunnion quick and easy.

The unit comes standard with a 24-pocket side-mount tool changer, automatic chip auger, programmable coolant nozzle, Visual Quick Code programming system, 15” color LCD monitor with USB port, 16 MB of program memory, remote jog handle, spindle orientation, coordinate rotation and scaling, user-definable macros and high-speed machining control software with full look-ahead.

For larger work, Haas also offers the VF- 5TR (38” x 26” x 25”) and VF-6TR (64” x 32” x 30”). Both machines have a dual-axis trunnion table mounted directly to the bearing trucks in place of the standard T-slot table, and both are available in either 40-taper or 50-taper configuration.
