FLEXI - vertical machining centers

New FLEXI vertical machining centers with movable worktable and 5 controlled axes have a universal field of application and they are conceived for multiaxes machining of small and large series of complex 5-side workpieces, in one positioning, in precision mechanics, automotive, medical, aeronautical industries and mold and die production.

Three models are available: FLEXI 3, FLEXI 5 and FLEXI 7 differing in X-axis traverse (movable worktable) respectively: 950, 1250 and 2100 mm. FLEXI 3, equipped with a rotary table (C-axis), focuses its performances in continuous 5-axes machining.
Several configurations and available options enable to produce “custom-made” machinery to suit the manufacturing needs of the individual user.


Speed, flexibility and accuracy in one solution

  • • FLEXI cast iron monolithic bed is designed to assure stability and balance. It is prearranged for the sliding of the movable worktable (X-axis), that moves along its whole traverse leaning on it, thus assuring the highest accuracy and repeatability values, and of the column (Y-axis) with a 700 mm traverse.
  • • The headstock consists of a rigid structure sliding on the column
    • • The versatility of FLEXI machining centers configurations allows to satisfy all customers’ production needs thanks to a ±110° tilting head (B-axis) and a built-in 660-mm diameter rotary table (C-axis).
    • Exploiting the angular positioning flexibility of the ±110° tilting head, the machinable volume on FLEXI machining centers is represented by an 840-mm diameter cylinder, turning on the rotary table with a max. height of 1175 mm from the table surface.
    • • Such a big capacity allows FLEXI machining centers to machine large and high workpieces without interferences, as the motorspindle can work tilted by 20 degrees in undercut, reaching easily even the most difficult spots.
      • • FLEXI standard motorspindle is driven by a synchronous motor supplying 33 kW power, 180 Nm torque, 12000 rpm speed.
      • • It is provided with an efficient internal cooling system with circulation of temperature-controlled fluid and an external chiller.
      • • HSK-A-63 taper is available as option with max spindle speed 12000 rpm or 18000 rpm.
      • • Equipped with last generation Heidenhain iTNC530 HSCI e Siemens 840 SL CNCs boosting its accuracy and productivity qualities.
      • • The operator’s panel is assembled in a front sliding structure characterized by an innovative design and high ergonomics.
      • • New guards conceived according to most innovative industrial design criteria that sum up ergonomics, easy access to the work area, wide visibility during machining, comfort during workpiece loading/unloading operations, optimal smoke and swarf containment, easy use and maintenance.
