USED HAAS VF3 2018

The HAAS VF3 2018 is a highly versatile CNC Vertical Machining Center (VMC) designed to deliver outstanding precision, reliability, and productivity across a wide range of machining applications. As one of the most popular models in the Haas VF Series, the VF3 offers a larger work envelope than the VF2 while maintaining a compact footprint, making it an excellent solution for job shops and production facilities alike. The 2018 HAAS VF3 is widely used in aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, mold and die, defense, industrial equipment, and precision contract machining. Built with a rigid cast-iron frame, an inline direct-drive spindle, and the proven Haas CNC Control, the VF3 provides excellent cutting performance, ease of programming, and low operating costs. Many 2018 machines were also equipped with the Haas Next Generation Control and optional productivity-enhancing features such as through-spindle coolant, probing, and high-capacity tool changers.

The machine provides 1,016 mm (40″) X-axis travel, 508 mm (20″) Y-axis travel, and 635 mm (25″) Z-axis travel. It features a 1,219 × 457 mm (48″ × 18″) table capable of supporting workpieces weighing up to 1,588 kg (3,500 lbs). Standard equipment includes an 8,100 RPM inline direct-drive spindle powered by a 30 HP (22.4 kW) vector drive motor with a CT40/BT40 spindle taper, a 20-position automatic carousel tool changer, programmable coolant nozzle, rigid tapping, flood coolant system, automatic lubrication, USB and Ethernet connectivity, and a 208-liter coolant tank. Many used machines are additionally equipped with 30+1 side-mount tool changers, 10,000 RPM spindle upgrades, through-spindle coolant, chip conveyor, Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS), and 4th-axis capability.

Purchasing a used HAAS VF3 2018 allows manufacturers to acquire a modern, production-ready machining center at a substantially lower investment than purchasing a new machine while benefiting from Haas’ excellent global service network and readily available replacement parts.
