G-series vertical machining centers from FlexCNC handle single-setup long-part machining

FlexCNC has introduced G-series vertical machining centers for face milling, helical milling, rough milling, and drilling of large or long parts, like tube and pipe, in a single setup. The Standard Edition model 20-06 SE features a 20- by 6-ft. bed to machine parts up to 20 ft. long. In addition, the long open bed, coupled with the movable safety light curtain, allows multiple setups, so that while the unit is machining one part, another can be loaded or offloaded.

The machine features a monoblock welded steel frame with high rigidity and a T-slot machine bed. Spindle taper is CT 40 at 6,000 RPM, with a maximum torque capability of 74 ft./lbs. (with 18-HP upgrade). Maximum travel rate is 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. maximum. Spindle nose-to-table distance is 5.5 to 25 in.
