How We Build The VF-1 Vertical Machining Centre Today

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.

Wireless Intuitive Probing System

Drastically reduce setup times on your high-speed machine

Automate your high-speed machine’s setup process with the Haas Wireless Intuitive Probing System (WIPS). WIPS is a complete probing package that includes the spindle probe, tool setting probe, and optical machine interface. Furthermore, powerful software that guides the operator through the job setup process with intuitive, easy-to-use templates. WIPS allows you to quickly and easily define work offset coordinates. Additionally, set tool length offsets, and perform in-process inspection.
