Haas VR Series VMCs are the perfect solutions when your 5-axis parts are too large to rotate using traditional rotary tables and trunnions. Each VR Series machine features a large T-slot table that easily supports large workpieces and fixtures, and a powerful 2-axis gimbaled spindle head that provides access to nearly any angle on the part for complex shapes, undercuts, and 5-side machining.
Dual-axis spindle head provides ±245 degrees of C-axis rotation and ±120 degrees of B-axis tilt
Includes Tool Center Point Control
The Haas VR Series machines combine an upgraded version of the integrated gimbal spindle used on our GM-2-5AX, with our extremely popular VF Series VMCs. The result is a very versatile full 5-axis machine tool.
This is a very different machine tool compared to our previous versions of the VR Series machines. The main technical difference is the rotary axis configuration. The previous generation VR Series machines used an A-axis mounted on a B-axis to support the spindle, whereas this new version is a B-axis mounted on a C-axis. This means that G-code programs developed for the discontinued VR machines are not compatible with the new versions, and post-processors will have to be modified to reflect the different axis configuration.
There are a number of technical details that make the VR Series mills very different from many other Haas 5-axis machines currently available. These differences are explained in the following blocks. Keep scrolling to get a better understanding of the capabilities of these unique 5-axis machines.
