- for large-area horizontal machining
The Powerflex- 3arm® Series 2 a combination of radial arm and swivel arm, each rotatable 360 degrees, is used where the vertical height of the machining area is of limited importance.
For these reasons, the first part of the articulated arm consists of a radial arm. Thus, the strength of the Powerflex 3arm® Series 2 lies in the machining of flat workpieces from above. For example, when uniformly grinding, polishing, drilling holes or fastening screws.
The Powerflex 3arm® Series 2 additionally allows to work in a vertical range of maximum 0.530 m. If the mounting column is used as an option, the vertical machining range can also be varied in height by up to 0.447 m, which significantly extends the range once again. The Powerflex 3arm® Series 2 can also be variably and flexibly adapted for the use of many different tools by means of various mounting adapters.
The damper weight range for the 3arm® Series 2 is between 0 and 6.0 kg. Tools and mounting adapters with a maximum total weight of up to 6.0 kg can be used in the vertical, horizontal and free angle working modes. This means that a wide range of practical requirements for the respective workplace equipment can already be met.
The 3arm® Series 2 is often used at stationary workstations. Due to the exact damper setting, it optimally supports the respective motion sequences and guarantees ergonomic and health-friendly work without great effort. The exact positioning of the almost floating tool enables optimal work results in a consistent quality, with significantly reduced physical strain.
