FlexCNC’s FlexBEAM machining center handles parts up to 40 ft. long

FlexCNC has introduced the FlexBEAM machining center for processing large or long parts, like structural steel beam, tube, and pipe, in a single setup. With an open-bed design that measures 40 by 2 ft., the machine can handle parts up to 40 ft. long. Alternately, the long open bed, coupled with a movable safety light curtain, allows multiple setups, so that while the unit is machining one part, another can be loaded or offloaded.

The machine has a monoblock welded steel frame with high rigidity and a T-slot machine bed. It features 3-axis interpolation, scribing, automatic hydraulic workholding, and automatic tool touch-off. A laser zero detector is standard, as is 6 x ATC, a hand pendant, and network with Ethernet cable.

Mobile light curtain safety barriers, frame with chip conveyor and T-slotted table, flood coolant pump and tank, and automatic tool calibrator are standard.
