The VF Series machines offer options for customers to prioritize performance, rigidity, and/or speed; with machines that excel at each of these priorities, offering users the ability to receive only what they need for their individual applications. The best known of the VF-Series is the Alpha Center. This 3-Axis (4/5th axis available as an option) machining center features a tempered stress relieved cast-iron frame and class C3 ballscrews for accuracy and durability. All models of the Alpha Center include a fully enclosed splash guard, 24 pocket tool changer, 10,000 rpm CAT 40 spindle (12,000 and 15,000 rpm available), and an automatic lubrication system, as well as many other features.
For training, tool room workshops, R&D, and model making, the VF-Mini offers a 12-position umbrella tool changer to go with the 10,000 rpm BT40 spindle. Offering 19.7/11.8/15.75” of travel for the X/Y/Z axis and a 25.5×12” table which can holdup to 440 lbs, the Mini brings plenty of brawn to go with ±0.0004/12” positioning accuracy and ±0.0002” repeatability accuracy. A footprint of only 65×94” squeezes this machine into the corner in almost shop.
Running the newest generation of the Fanuc Series 0i control systems, the VF-Series machines can receive programming at the machine via manual programming, USB, or CF Card, or ethernet. The Series 0i brings faster, more accurate performance to a wide range of milling applications with more standard features, more advanced capabilities and faster communications than ever before.
