Hass VF 2 SS with Fanuc robot

The Haas VF 2 SS 3-axis vertical machining centre is a powerful CNC machine developed by the US manufacturer Haas Automation. The machine is particularly suitable for machining in industrial production. This paper explains the technical features and the integration of automation technologies such as the Fanuc M20-i robot, the Renishaw infrared measuring probe and tool measurement.

Key features of the Haas VF 2 SS

?? Integration of the Fanuc M20-i robot
Manufacturing automation is becoming increasingly important to reduce production costs and increase efficiency. One of the most notable additions to the Haas VF 2 SS is the integration of the Fanuc M20-i robot. This robot is capable of loading raw parts into the machining centre as well as removing finished parts from the machine. By using an industrial robot, the manufacturing process is fully automated, which not only reduces labour costs but also significantly shortens production time.

?? Automatic probing of the workpiece with Renishaw infrared touch probe
The automatic probing of the workpiece is a crucial function to ensure the accuracy and precision of machining. The Renishaw infrared touch probe automates and simplifies this process. The probe measures the exact positions of the workpiece and enables the machine to accurately determine its reference points. This results in greater accuracy during machining, as the machine is automatically adjusted to the actual position of the workpiece.

?? Automatic tool measurement with Tool Setter
Another option of this Haas VF 2 SS is the possibility of automatic tool measurement. This is realised by using a tool setter from Renishaw. The tool setter automatically measures the length and diameter of the tool, which enables precise calibration and adjustment of the tool parameters.

?? Chip conveyor and coolant system
The chip conveyor and coolant system are essential for efficient and clean production. The chip conveyor of the Haas VF 2 SS ensures that the chips produced during the machining process are continuously removed from the work area. The machine is equipped with a high-pressure pump for internal coolant supply and filter to optimise chip removal and cooling of the cutting edge.
