Check out some of the fastest metal removal on the planet! When you use the FlexCNC C-Series machine, you will see major savings in time and money!
See how you can use the B-19 arm to counterbalance a 10 lb. tool. The tool is being used in a top-down fashion and needed the ability to move side to side.
See how this simple ergonomic solution prevents operator fatigue and repetitive motion injuries.
See how easy it is to set up your A-32 Pneumatic Tapping Arm to tap in horizontal positions.
Solid Design Enterprises is a company that manufactures aerospace components. See how they were able to speed up their processes by tapping offline with the FlexArm while the Haas CNC machines other parts.

Fabricators looking for a way to increase efficiency and speed up operations can achieve this with the FlexCNC.
See how a reaction plate can be integrated into a FlexArm for a simple torque reaction solution for tools with large amounts of torque.
See how the FlexCNC-Long Bed VMC paired with Allied Insert Drills are speeding up drilling processes. Watch the time study to see which drill had a faster cycle time.
Keep the FlexCNC in good working order with these daily maintenance tips.
See how shops are saving time and money while increasing throughput by 300% with the FlexCNC and Allied Drills.
See how one manufacturer will increase productivity by using a FlexArm instead of their CNC to tap aluminum extrusions in a matter of seconds.
See how one manufacturer will stop breaking taps by using a FlexArm to horizontally and vertically tap hard cast iron parts.
See how this FlexArm counterbalances a crimping tool while still allowing the operator to reach every spot within their workspace.
See how this FlexArm counterbalancing solution reduces fatigue by taking the 10-pound Atlas Copco grinder out of the operator’s hands.
R&B Wagner Inc. wanted to find the best way to fixture and machine long parts. See how they are using the FlexCNC to save time and money in their shop.
Sentry Equipment utilizes their FlexCNC for flow drilling, milling, and form tapping NPT holes. See why the FlexCNC is an essential machine in their plant.
Learn how the Felker Bros. saved time and increased productivity by combining multiple steps into one process on the FlexCNC.
See how this arm keeps operators safe by counterbalancing both a 10-pound grinder and a 3-pound deburring tool.
See how a hydraulic tapping arm compares to a pnuematic tapping arm when tapping 1/2″ and 3/4″ holes into 2″ thick aluminum.
See how this customer is turning a two-man operation into a one-man operation with the FlexArm Ergonomic Arm.
Looking to tap NPT threads in stainless steel tubing? So we set up the GH-30 tapping arm to tap the ⅛” NPT threads.
Watch the video of this application at the bottom of this page. A customer was looking for a counterbalancing solution that would allow them to comfortably operate a 10-pound Chicago Pneumatic grinder. We paired it with the standard B-19-RG arm and the Rotational Gimbal 101100 (fits tools with tool body between Ø2.63″-3.625″). The arm allows […]

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.
