In Booth A-3254, FlexCNC (Wapakoneta, OH) will feature their G-Series vertical machining centers for face milling, helical milling, rough milling, drilling and more of large or long parts in a single set-up. The Standard Edition model 20-06 SE boasts a 20 ft x by 6 ft bed to machine parts up to 20 ft long. Alternately, the long open bed, coupled with a movable safety light curtain, allows multiple set-ups so that while the 20-06 SE is machining one part, another can be loaded or offloaded to dramatically increase productivity and machine uptime. The open design provides unrestricted access that makes loading and unloading easier and faster. FlexCNC machines are ideal for the machining of long products, such as tube, or pipe, cutting keyways and more. The 20-06 SE features a monoblock welded steel frame with high rigidity and a T-slot machine bed. Spindle taper of CT 40, at 6,000 rpm, with a max torque capability of 74 ft-lb (with 18 hp upgrade). This machine features a maximum travel rate of 1,200 ipm along the X-axis, 1,000 ipm along the Y-axis and 165 ipm along the Z-axis. Z-Axis travel is 19.5 in max. Spindle nose to table distance ranges from 5.5 in to 25.0 in.

The Standard VMC runs on 480V and includes mobile light-curtain safety barriers, frame with chip conveyor and T-slotted table, flood coolant pump and tank, and automatic tool calibrator. Its 12 in color touch screen is water-resistant and durable enough to provide years of service. Oversized double hung precision linear guideways ensure smooth and precise movement on all axes. All moving parts are self-lubricating on all axes. A programmable servo motor drives the spindle, while a ten-compartment automatic tool change ensures capacity for virtually any application. Control on the FlexCNC is simple yet powerful, with conversational and ISO G- and M-code programming for versatile three-axis CNC machining along with an optional fourth axis. Equipped with a color touch screen control, 40 GB of program storage, and 50 programmable zero points. Programs can be loaded through USB or through an Ethernet connection. Extensive training is provided both in-plant and on-site.

Built in the Wapakoneta factory, the G-series 20-06 SE sells for $258,995. Lead time for these standard machines is only 12-16 weeks. Delivery, installation, training, and two-year warranty is available for $9,500.  In addition to standard models, FlexCNC can customize a machine to suit specific parameters, including length and width, raised gantry, open machine bed, and double fourth axis.

Also on display will be their GH45 hydraulic tapping arm that boasts a capacity of 1½ in. This durable tool has a clutch mechanism that disengages the clutch when the tap bottoms out to prolong tap life and eliminate tap breakage. Tapping holes offline enhances productivity and throughput.
