Mag Drill Arm Product Release

In industries that rely heavily on drilling, the efficiency and precision of the equipment used can significantly impact productivity. FlexArm is proud to introduce the FlexArm Mag Drill Arm, a cutting-edge innovation that simplifies drilling with a mag drill while reducing operator fatigue. 

A notable feature of this ergonomic solution is its capacity to offset the tool’s weight by effectively reducing up to 75 pounds of strain on the operator’s body. The arm also provides a working range of up to 100 inches of horizontal reach and 52 inches of vertical stroke, providing precision and versatility across a broad spectrum of drilling tasks. Whether you’re working on vertical surfaces or horizontal applications, this arm offers the flexibility needed without added complexity. 

Versatility is key in any tool, and the Mag Drill Arm delivers on this front. With 220° vertical rotation and ±90° horizontal rotation, complete with locking detents, the tool remains securely in place and readily accessible at all times. The Mag Drill arm is also designed to integrate seamlessly with most magnetic drill makes and models via a specially designed mount plate for your specific model. This compatibility reduces the need for costly equipment replacements and ensures a smooth transition. 

Mobile Mag Drill

The inclusion of a mobile base further enhances the convenience of using the Mag Drill Balance Arm. Whether you need to move it between workstations or position it on large workpieces, this feature optimizes your drilling operations, allowing you to work more efficiently. 

In industries where the weight of magnetic drills can be a significant challenge, causing discomfort and physical strain during extended use, the FlexArm Mag Drill Arm offers a practical solution. It reduces operator fatigue and prioritizes safety by maintaining a secure and balanced setup.

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.
