FlexArm Introduces a new line of Hydraulic Tapping Arms
PRESS RELEASE: July 10, 2015 at 9:04 am by Canadian Metalworking
FlexArm introduces the latest technology offering power and speed with their new line of Hydraulic Tapping Arms.
By running tapping and threading operations offline while a CNC is running, an operator can increase efficiency and improve cycle times.
Tapping and threading with a FlexArm while a lathe is running eliminates thread milling operations. It takes tapping operations off CNC machines to drive more efficiency in machine tool utilization.
Incorporating the correct technology with CNC machines reduces cycle times, and incorporating a FlexArm in the machining center helps machine shops with their overall equipment effectiveness. Designed to quickly go forward and reverse, a FlexArm Hydraulic Tapping Arm is made for tapping, not simply running in one direction like the spindle of a CNC Mill.
FlexArm Hydraulic Tapping Arms allow customers to program their exact RPM for forward and an exact RPM for reverse, so whether an operator needs to run 30 RPM to pull a large ACME tap or 500 RPM to quickly tap 7/8”, they have the flexibility for increased efficiency. This new line of FlexArm tapping solutions also features programmable depth control, allowing for consistency in tapping depth.
