The Piranha is a high-precision 5-axis CNC machining center built for large workpieces, such as patterns, molds, jigs, and prototypes. It’s also widely used in trimming large-scale composite parts, a common requirement in aerospace. Equipped with powerful spindles and capable of working with FlexiCAM’s Advanced Control System (ACS) or industry-standard Siemens and Fanuc systems, the Piranha is engineered for high-speed, precise machining in even the most challenging materials.

With additional options such as multiple gantries, optical (laser) and mechanical probing, palette changers, and advanced dust collection systems, the Piranha maximizes efficiency and accuracy. These features are particularly beneficial in aerospace, where even minor deviations can impact performance and safety.

The FlexiCAM Ultimate CNC machining center is a heavy-duty machine designed for high production environments, combining robust construction with a single-piece base frame. It’s suitable for both cutting and trimming sheet materials and machining larger 3D objects like molds, jigs, and prototypes. The Ultimate offers a variety of worktable designs, such as durable cast iron tables and the specialized Vilmill vacuum table.

The Ultimate is highly customizable, with options like a 4th axis (tilting spindle) and a 5-axis head, making it adaptable for intricate 3D machining. For demanding aerospace applications, it includes features like linear scales, thermal compensation, and volumetric compensation, which enhance accuracy and maintain tight tolerances.

The FlexiCAM Xtreme is a versatile, large-format CNC machining center with a modular design. It’s ideal for machining large aluminum and composite sheets up to 5 meters wide with virtually unlimited length, making it suitable for sizable aerospace components, and more. Its modular configuration allows customization with additional gantries, enabling simultaneous production across multiple workpieces and significantly increasing throughput.

The Xtreme model supports both Siemens and Fanuc control systems, giving manufacturers the flexibility to integrate their preferred controls. In aerospace manufacturing, it is highly valued for its capability to produce large panels and parts efficiently. Optional features include high-speed spindles, custom tool changers, and multiple gantry systems, allowing companies to scale production without compromising on quality or precision.

The FlexiCAM XL has been specifically engineered to cater to the needs of high-production shops, and is equipped with powerful AC Servo drive system as a standard feature.

These machines are highly suitable for demanding applications such as machining non-ferrous metal, solid surfaces, and plastic parts. They have been designed to operate in production-type environments and are capable of handling a broad range of manual tool change and automatic tool change spindles to meet specific application requirements.

The XL's foundation is constructed using heavy welded tube on tube design, creating a single, sturdy unit. The machine is customizable with various options available from FlexiCAM, including but not limited to, Rotary Axis, C-Axis, Siemens and Fanuc Controls, I-Cut Vision, Auto Lubrication, and more.

FlexiCAM offers a unique system for aluminum stacked sheet machining, featuring a pressure foot, detagging option, and high-velocity chip extraction. This configuration minimizes debris, optimizes cutting performance, and provides a cleaner work environment.
