The machines have successfully completed development work for milling parts.

HAAS VF- 3 can handle body parts and parts with a complex profile with a maximum length of 1000 mm, width - 500 mm, height - 600 mm. Processing is performed in three dimensions with the possibility of a fourth axis . Machines will be used in the steam turbine, hydro turbines and tool production.

For the most effective use of the new equipment specific to the production of turbine plant specialists will produce fasteners and tooling. Engineering services businesses also are working on developing software for HAAS VF- 3.
