VF-2TR trunnion machine allows full 5-axis machining

The VF-2TR trunnion machine from Haas Automation allows full 5-axis machining of complex multi-sided parts in a single set-up. Based on the shop-proven Haas VF-2 (with 762 by 406 by 508 mm x,y,z travels, 40-taper spindle and 20-hp vector dual drive), the VF-2TR features a Haas TR-160 dual-axis trunnion table mounted to the standard T-slot table, to provide 5-axis simultaneous motion or position a workpiece to nearly any angle for machining. The trunnion provides ±120 degrees of tilt on the a-axis and a full 360 degrees of continuous rotation on the b-axis. It accommodates parts weighing up to 175 kg (part and fixture), with a part swing of 445 mm. The 160 mm platter features six precision T-slots equally spaced at 60 degrees for easy fixturing. The TR-160 can easily be removed from the VF-2TR when only 3-axis machining is required; the machine’s standard 915 by 355 mm T-slot table provides plenty of room for fixtures and vices.
