USED HAAS VF11 2011
The 2011 HAAS VF11 is a heavy-duty 3-axis Vertical Machining Center (VMC) designed for machining large workpieces with exceptional accuracy, rigidity, and productivity. Built for aerospace, energy, heavy equipment, mold making, and large fabrication industries, the VF11 combines a massive cast-iron construction, long-axis travels, precision linear guideways, and the dependable Haas CNC Control to deliver reliable performance in demanding machining environments. The 2011 HAAS VF11 is an excellent solution for manufacturers producing oversized components while maintaining tight tolerances and high material removal rates.
The machine provides an impressive 120 inches of X-axis travel, 40 inches of Y-axis travel, and 30 inches of Z-axis travel, allowing operators to machine large structural components, base plates, molds, tooling, aerospace assemblies, and fabricated weldments in a single setup. Its oversized cast-iron frame minimizes vibration during heavy cutting operations, while precision ballscrews and linear guideways provide excellent positioning accuracy and repeatability. Whether machining aluminum, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, or titanium, the 2011 HAAS VF11 delivers consistent performance and superior surface finishes.
Powering the machine is a 30 HP, 8,100 RPM CAT40 inline direct-drive spindle capable of producing approximately 90 ft-lb of torque. The standard 30+1 side-mount automatic tool changer provides fast, dependable tool changes, while rapid traverse rates of up to 600 IPM on the Y and Z axes help reduce non-cutting time. Many used machines include valuable factory-installed options such as through-spindle coolant (TSC), programmable coolant nozzle, chip auger, chip conveyor, rotary tables, probing systems, and fourth-axis capability for increased machining flexibility.
The Haas CNC Control offers intuitive programming, rigid tapping, USB connectivity, Ethernet networking, and user-friendly operation. Its simple interface and proven reliability make the VF11 suitable for both experienced machinists and growing manufacturing operations.
Today, the 2011 HAAS VF11 remains a highly sought-after large-frame machining center because it combines exceptional work envelope capacity, dependable Haas engineering, and lower ownership costs compared to many competing large-format CNC machines.
