Tapping, Drilling, Balancing, and Material Handling Arms

FLEX MACHINE TOOLS will be demonstrating tapping, drilling, balancing and material handling arm products at IMTS 2024, at booth 135204. A highlight of the exhibit will be the flexible FlexArm REM-24D electronic tapping arm with a multi-position head that allows quick and easy switches between vertical and horizontal tapping. Renowned for its ability to produce accurate tapped holes while minimizing the risk of tap breakage, the REM-24D Tapping arm has a maximum reach of up to 70 inches (1,778 mm) and is designed for taps up to 7/8-inch (22 mm).

The FlexArm Mag Drill arm will be demonstrated too, showcasing how magnetic drilling can be simplified, while reducing operator fatigue and increasing safety and efficiency.

The ergonomic Mag Drill arm offsets the drill’s weight by effectively reducing up to 75 lbs. (34 kg) of strain on an operator’s body. The arm provides a working range of up to 100 inches (2,540 mm) of horizontal reach and 52 inches (1,320 mm) of vertical stroke, resulting in precision and versatility across a broad range of drilling operations.

For eliminating fatigue and repetitive motion injuries when grinding, Flex will demonstrate its B-33-RG Balance arm for handheld grinders, designed to fit the specific grinder make/ model. The Balance arm offers full range of motion similar to natural movements, and will extend the life of the grinding tool and abrasive product. The B-33-RG has a counterbalance capacity of 1 to 25 lbs., a reach range of 1 to 72 inches, and 90 PSI air pressure.

Offering users twice the lift with half of the effort, Flex also will demonstrate its FlexArm part manipulator, an innovative material handling solution designed to optimize productivity and enhance safety. The FlexArm part manipulator can position parts, unload tool, and hold workpieces. The tool is engineered to function in cramped workspaces where simple overhead cranes are not possible.
