Cutting Solutions and Tapping Arms

Flex Machine Tools will have on display powerful cutting solutions for fabricators.

Flex will demonstrate an automated waterjet solution: the FlexJet Waterjet FL-0404 equipped with an IGEMS CNC control, CAD/CAM software and hardware including the advanced Tilter 5-axis waterjet cutting head, Snapper camera for optimal positioning, Rounder kinematic compensation tool and Straighter perpendicular angle tool.

Also, the high productivity FlexCNC C-Series (Model C-10-02) long bed machining center will be under power at FABTECH demonstrating high-speed drilling, milling and tapping of large parts in a single set-up. The FlexCNC is a versatile, cantilever-style VMC that accommodates a range of part sizes from 10' to 50' long, such as pipes and tubes, and part volumes ranging from a single-piece to high-volume production. A monobloc welded steel frame with precision linear guideways provides a strong, rigid infrastructure that works in tandem with a comprehensive motion control system, making the FlexCNC C-10-02 suited for an extensive range of applications.

Flexarm tapping arm products will also be demonstrated, including the versatile FlexArm REM-16 electronic tapping arm with a multiposition head that allows quick and easy switches between vertical and horizontal tapping. Designed to produce accurate tapped holes while minimizing the risk of tap breakage, the REM-16 Tapping Arm has a maximum reach of up to 50" (1,270 mm) and is designed for taps up to 5/8" (16 mm) dia. The versatile FlexArm GH-45 hydraulic tapping arm will also be highlighted, featuring a reach ranging from 20" (508 mm) to 78" (1,981 mm) and tap capacities from 3/8" (9.5 mm) to 1.5" (38 mm) diameter.
