How We Build The VF-1 Today - Haas Automation, Inc.

Рет қаралды 1,118,289

Күн бұрын

Back in the late eighties we started building our first VMC, the VF-1. We didn't build them as efficiently as we do today, but they were good machines and laid the foundation for decades of milling machine development and improvement to come.
Today, our process is finely tuned and quite efficient for a machine that is still hand built to a great extent. Take a look at how we build the same VF that may be sitting on your shop floor not too long from now.

In 2005 I bought a brand new TM1 for my garage. Ran it for seven years almost daily. Not one single problem ever with it. A manufacturing company I worked with received a large aerospace contract and needed a CNC badly asap. I sold them my TM1 for what i paid for it after seven years. That machine is still making parts today.

No they are not buying $200 lathes on amazon but when they started building their mills they were not using Haas mills. It is a progression and takes an effort to get to where they are today.

I have dealt with pecision machine tools since leaving scool which was 25 years ago. I love machine tools. They are a reflection of the brilliant minds behind the scenes who design and engineer them. I have worked installing, servicing, repairing and building them world wide and I just love them. Not worked with Haas but I see the same qualities, build and design techniques. I love precision.

@BadAndy01979 3 жыл бұрын

I love your machines, Been running a VF4ss For 8 years. Running only plastic parts. The only issues we have had is the windows break easily, 4x4in 1/8 thick nylon flew off vac plate and shattered the window. The auto door mechanism broke off, we had to weld it solid. Z axis way over is like an aluminum can, easy to damage. Saying these issues, they are very minor compared to all the issues we had with an Okuma mill. For the window, we installed 1/2 thick polycarbonate inside in front of the window. When it gets damaged we just replace it. Much cheaper. You guys make an incredible product!!👏👏👍👍

I loves me some Haas mills. I've worked alongside a lot of "snobs" who turn their noses up at Haas - claiming that they're cheap and light duty, but the million dollar Deckel that I used to run couldn't rough out what my simple VF-3 can, and when it's time to repair said million dollar machines - good luck getting a repairman out on the same day. The VF-3 that I'm running now has been running close to 24 hours a day for the past 14 years and only once did we need to have a simple spindle repair.

We have all Haas machines. They’re just rock solid and very well thought out. As a maintenance tech dealing with operators who crash them on a weekly basis, you appreciate little things like covers that come off easily, waycovers that are easily replaceable, turrets that can be reset after a wreck...and back up and in business in no time. And the software is so intuitive and user friendly. Once a year we have a Haas service tech come in and tune them up properly. When he leaves we know we’re golden
