Flex Machine Tools is teaming up with Abom79 and Allied Machine & Engineering for an interactive live stream demo. Watch as we drill 4” deep using the 4TEX® Drill from Allied Machine & Engineering. Hear from an Allied expert and learn all about the drill and its capabilities. Listen to Abom79 discuss the challenges he’s experienced tapping
See how much we have reduced tooling cost by using the Darex.
See how the FlexArm makes tapping easy, and is the best tool when it comes to small hole tapping.
Watch us for a Blind Hole Tapping Live Stream. Watch the tapping demo and learn about the ROI of tapping parts off the CNC, Plasma, Waterjet, and Laser.
Join us for a Live high-speed milling demo on the FlexCNC! We will be milling with Kyocera tooling and they will also be joining the live stream to discuss the various milling applications.

Join us for a Live CNC Flowdrilling Demo! We will be Flowdrilling the biggest hole you’ve ever seen using thermal drilling. Be prepared to be amazed and uncover a new exciting technology and process in machining
See how easy it can be to tap fabricated holes with the FlexArm. Watch as we tap plasma, laser, and waterjet holes with the GH-45 Hydraulic Arm and the A-32 Pneumatic Arm.
Watch us demo a wide range of NPT taps on the FlexArm. The OSG “tap expert” discusses the differences between the different NPT Pipe Taps used in the demo.
Watch Eddie showcase the A-32 Pneumatic Arm and the GH-45 Hydraulic Arm.

Auto Stand-Off – This is currently defined to be surface stand-off and not to be confused with vector stand-off in 5-axis mode. The current auto stand-off is based on a changing surface and will adjust vertically based on the angle of the “A” Axis, so there is five (5) axis taken into account during the calculations, but this is not the same as the tool vector stand-off. There is the ability to do the vector stand-off change while the machine is running manually with buttons on the screen.
Z-Reader Probe – The Z-Reader is a device for mapping the location of the surface. It can be controlled manually & programmatically. The option is NOT active while cutting & is retracted out of harm’s way. It can be triggered to verify the surface at every pierce before the cutting process starts, or it could be used to drive surface mapping of the whole part before cutting starts. It begins with initialization or zeroing of the device to the surface at the beginning of a program and then accumulates or tracks the difference from that zeroing effort.
Automatic Edge Finder – The edge finder is or can be utilized manually (Jogging Method & Screen Buttons), programmatically (M & G codes), or fully automatic routine (dedicated program). This option sets offsets & program rotation to match the orientation & location on the cutting table.
AC Unit Installed on Electrical Cabinet – The unit is mounted on the cabinet’s High Power (480v) side. It is close to the location where the drives are mounted. This option keeps the cabinet temperature stable and allows heat dissipation faster. The servo drives for all axes are the most significant contributors to heat inside the electrical cabinet.
5-Axis Renishaw Calibration – The calibration unit is a Renishaw model APCA45 with a modified spherical stylus. The device has a retractable cover and air purge to clear debris & dust during the activation process. It mounts to a swing arm controlled by a pneumatic rotary, so it is out of the way during regular operation and swings into the calibration position for calibration only.
