Proflex, the company’s newest machine for volume part production, is said to combine a universally flexible machine structure with high production output. It produces parts from bar or coil stock, as well as castings, forgings and other blanked parts.

This machine has five stations. Four are used for machining, and the fifth is for automatic (robotic) load and unloading of blanks. Station 1 can be equipped with full bar turning features (lathe operations), including a sliding head-stock, secondary (opposed) spindle to break up the turning cycle and live spindles. Stations 2, 3 and 4 (and also station 1 for blank machining applications) each have two opposed three-axis CNC modules with up to four high speed spindles each for live spindle (machining center) operations.
