Fabtech 2021 with Flex Machine Tools

Did you miss Fabtech this year? For those of you who could not make the show, you still have the opportunity to see what we showcased in our booth.

The FlexCNC is the best-priced and most flexible vertical machining center in the world. The FlexCNC vertical machining center ranges from 10′ to 80′ long and is available in a gantry or cantilever style machine. In addition to the standard sizes, we design and build custom machines to suit your needs.

The motion control system is the most state-of-the-art CNC controller available, giving you the capability and Flexibility for your machining applications, large and small.  

FlexJet is the solution for fast and precise waterjet cutting in a broad range of materials. In addition to the standard machines, we create custom-tailored solutions to meet your needs and increase your capabilities

.FlexJet leads the way for faster manufacturing providing more throughput on your waterjet by using state-of-the-art technology. Backed by the best service in the market, FlexJet creates high-performance waterjet machines so you can accomplish more.

The FlexArm tapping arm helps shops earn higher profits by enabling operators to work faster and more efficiently. The ergonomic design makes it easy to articulate the arm over the workpiece and allows the operator to tap all holes in one easy set-up. We offer a variety of pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric tapping arms to best fit your needs. 

Flex Machine Tools offers machines to help increase productivity and increase your profits. If interested in learning more about any of our machine tool solutions, contact us today.

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 CalibrationThe 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.
