USED HAAS VF2SS 2017
The 2017 Haas VF2SS is a high-performance 3-axis Super Speed Vertical Machining Center (VMC) built for manufacturers that require exceptional machining speed, precision, and productivity. As one of the most popular machines in the Haas Super Speed lineup, the VF2SS combines a 12,000 RPM inline direct-drive spindle, ultra-fast rapid traverses, a 30+1 side-mount automatic tool changer, and the dependable Haas CNC Control. The 2017 Haas VF2SS is widely used in aerospace, medical, automotive, mold making, electronics, and precision manufacturing where reduced cycle times and consistent accuracy are essential.
The machine features 30 inches of X-axis travel, 16 inches of Y-axis travel, and 20 inches of Z-axis travel, providing an ideal work envelope for machining precision components, molds, fixtures, tooling, and production parts. Its rigid cast-iron construction minimizes vibration during aggressive cutting operations while precision linear guideways, oversized ballscrews, and digital servo motors provide outstanding positioning accuracy and repeatability. Whether machining aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, engineering plastics, or exotic alloys, the 2017 Haas VF2SS consistently delivers superior surface finishes and tight tolerances.
Powering the machine is a 30 HP, 12,000 RPM inline direct-drive CAT40 spindle capable of producing approximately 90 ft-lb of torque. The standard 30+1 Super-Speed side-mount automatic tool changer completes tool-to-tool changes in approximately 1.8 seconds and chip-to-chip changes in approximately 2.4 seconds, helping maximize spindle utilization and reduce non-cutting time. Rapid traverse rates of 1,400 IPM on all three axes significantly improve productivity. Many used machines are equipped with desirable factory options including Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS), through-spindle coolant (TSC), programmable coolant nozzle, chip conveyor, fourth-axis preparation, and rotary tables, making the machine suitable for a wide range of high-precision applications.
The 2017 Haas VF2SS features the reliable Haas CNC Control, known for its intuitive programming, Ethernet connectivity, USB interface, rigid tapping, and straightforward maintenance. Many machines have also been upgraded with expanded memory and additional software options to further improve productivity.
Today, the 2017 Haas VF2SS remains one of the most desirable compact high-speed machining centers in the used CNC market because of its excellent machining performance, dependable reliability, and strong resale value.
