USED HAAS VF2YT 2012
The HAAS VF2YT 2012 is a versatile CNC Vertical Machining Center (VMC) designed for manufacturers that require extended Y-axis travel, high precision, and dependable production performance. Based on the proven Haas VF platform, the VF2YT offers 20 inches of Y-axis travel, providing greater machining flexibility than the standard VF2 while maintaining a compact footprint. The 2012 HAAS VF2YT is widely used in aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, mold and die, electronics, defense, and precision contract machining. Featuring a rigid cast-iron construction, an 8,100 RPM inline direct-drive spindle, and the proven Haas CNC Control, the VF2YT delivers excellent cutting performance, reliable accuracy, and low operating costs across a wide range of materials.
The machine provides 762 mm (30″) X-axis travel, 508 mm (20″) Y-axis travel, and 508 mm (20″) Z-axis travel. It features a 914 × 457 mm (36″ × 18″) table capable of supporting workpieces weighing up to 1,361 kg (3,000 lbs). Standard equipment includes a 30 HP (22.4 kW) inline direct-drive spindle operating at 8,100 RPM, a CT40/BT40 spindle taper, a 20-position automatic carousel tool changer, rigid tapping, programmable coolant nozzle, flood coolant, automatic lubrication, USB interface, Ethernet connectivity, and a 208-liter coolant tank. Many used 2012 machines are equipped with optional 10,000 RPM spindle, chip conveyor, through-spindle coolant, probing systems, rotary tables, and 4th-axis capability.
Purchasing a used HAAS VF2YT 2012 allows manufacturers to obtain a proven production machining center at a substantially lower investment than purchasing a comparable new machine while benefiting from Haas’ worldwide support network and excellent replacement parts availability.
