Flex Waterjet System Provides Efficient Cutting of Complex Parts IMTS 2026: Flex Machine Tools demonstrates the FlexJet Flx-1365 waterjet system with IGEMS Tilter five-axis cutting head, along with a range of tapping, drilling and torque reaction arm solutions. Share Phillips Corporation - Education Featured Content View More Phillips Corporation Featured Content View More Flex Machine Tools showcases its FlexJet Flx-1365 waterjet system with its IGEMS Tilter five-axis cutting head, designed to provide optimized precision, versatility and efficiency for complex cutting applications. The system features the IGEMS CNC control, CAD/CAM software and integrated hardware solutions to provide advanced cutting capabilities for a wide range of materials and applications. Featured capabilities include the IGEMS Tilter cutting head for complex bevel and 3D cutting applications, camera positioning technology for improved setup precision, kinematic compensation and perpendicular angle correction for optimized edge quality and dimensional accuracy. The machine is also equipped with an advanced HMI and Beckhoff industrial PC hardware, providing intuitive machine operation, robust performance and improved operational control. Together, these technologies provide users with a capable waterjet cutting solution designed to improve throughput, reduce setup times and maximize productivity. In addition to the waterjet system, Flex Machine Tools demonstrates several of its ergonomic arm solutions designed to improve productivity, precision and operator comfort in fabrication and assembly environments. Among the highlights is the GH-45 hydraulic tapping arm, engineered for large tapping applications requiring high torque and precise control. Designed to reduce operator fatigue while improving consistency and thread quality, the GH-45 is said to provide powerful, precise tapping performance for demanding manufacturing operations, according to the company. Flex Machine Tools also showcases the REM-24D electric tapping arm, a versatile solution that allows users to quickly switch between vertical and horizontal tapping positions. Known for producing accurate tapped holes while minimizing the risk of tap breakage, the REM-24D combines ergonomic operation with flexibility for a wide range of tapping applications. Also on display is the MAG-35-H mag drill arm, an ergonomic solution that simplifies magnetic drilling operations while improving safety and reducing operator strain. The system offsets the weight of the magnetic drill, enabling operators to position and maneuver the tool with greater ease, accuracy and control. Rounding out the ergonomic solutions on display is the LR-40 light-duty torque reaction arm with 90-degree pneumatic ratchet. Designed to absorb torque reaction during fastening operations, the LR-40 is intended to improve operator comfort and safety while promoting greater process consistency and reducing fatigue associated with repetitive assembly tasks.
