Flex Machine Tools Highlights Metalworking Solutions

Flex Machine Tools will showcase its FL-0404 FlexJet Waterjet System, G-20-06 G-Series FlexCNC VMC, and a range of ergonomic tapping, drilling, and torque reaction arm solutions at FABTECH 2026, booth C960.

Visitors to the Flex Machine Tools booth will have the opportunity to see live demonstrations and speak with product specialists about their CNC machining, waterjet cutting, and ergonomic arm applications.

Waterjet

Featured at FABTECH 2026 will be the FL-0404 FlexJet Waterjet System, a compact and versatile waterjet cutting solution designed to deliver precision cutting performance while maximizing valuable shop floor space. Suited for fabrication shops, prototype work, and small-part production, the FL-0404 provides manufacturers with the flexibility to cut a wide range of materials, from metals and composites to plastics, stone, and glass.

Engineered for accuracy, reliability, and ease of operation, the FL-0404 offers efficient cutting capabilities that help reduce secondary operations while improving overall productivity, the company reported. Its compact footprint and robust construction make it a suited waterjet solution for manufacturers seeking high-performance cutting technology in a space-conscious package.

CNC Machining Center

Another major highlight in the booth will be the G-20-06 G-Series FlexCNC VMC, a machining solution engineered to deliver high-performance milling capabilities. Designed for job shops and manufacturers seeking convenience, versatility, cost savings, internal control, and productivity, the machine offers a rigid construction, advanced controls and a generous work envelope capacity for a wide range of machining applications.

The G-20-06 combines speed, accuracy, and reliability to help manufacturers improve throughput while maintaining part quality. Its robust design and user-friendly operation make it suited for producing complex components across a variety of industries, including metal fabrication, aerospace, energy, and general manufacturing.

Ergonomic Arm Solutions

In addition to its waterjet cutting and machining technologies, Flex Machine Tools will demonstrate several of its ergonomic arm solutions designed to improve productivity, precision, and operator comfort in fabrication and assembly environments.

Among the highlights will be the GH-45 Hydraulic Tapping Arm, engineered for large tapping applications requiring high torque and exceptional control. Designed to reduce operator fatigue while improving consistency and thread quality, the GH-45 offers powerful, precise tapping performance for demanding manufacturing operations, the company reported.

Flex will also showcase the REM-24D Electric Tapping Arm, a versatile solution that allows users to quickly switch between vertical and horizontal tapping positions. Known for producing accurate tapped holes while minimizing the risk of tap breakage, the REM-24D combines ergonomic operation with flexibility for a wide range of tapping applications.

Also on display will be the MAG-35-H Mag Drill Arm, an ergonomic solution that simplifies magnetic drilling operations while improving safety and reducing operator strain. The system offsets the weight of the magnetic drill, allowing operators to position and maneuver the tool with greater ease, accuracy, and control.

Rounding out the ergonomic solutions on display will be the LR-40 Light Duty Torque Reaction Arm. Designed to absorb torque reaction during fastening operations, the LR-40 helps improve operator comfort and safety while offering greater process consistency and reducing fatigue associated with repetitive assembly tasks.

"FABTECH provides an outstanding opportunity for manufacturers to experience firsthand how Flex Machine Tools continues to innovate across multiple fabrication technologies," said Don Kemper, President of Flex Machine Tools. "From advanced CNC machining and waterjet cutting solutions to our proven ergonomic tapping and material handling technologies, we remain focused on helping customers improve productivity, precision and operational efficiency."
