Benz introduces two adjustable-angle heads

Benz Inc. announced the availability of two adjustable angle head systems, the Flex 5 and Flex 5 Plus for the U.S and Canadian markets, which will be on display at AWFS.

“These are well-proven heads that we have been building for many years. Unfortunately, they were only available to certain machine manufacturing companies in Europe – until now. What makes the Benz Flex 5 and Flex 5 Plus unique is their ability to change the output angles utilizing the C axis,” Paul Roza, the company’s national sales manager of wood, plastics and composites, said in a statement.

“They are a specialized type of aggregate head that can add huge versatility and functionality to CNC routers in milling, drilling and sawing operations.”

The two angle heads provide a sawing swivel range from 0 to 90 degrees and a routing swivel range from 0 to 100 degrees, with a maximum blade diameter of 240 mm and a maximum rotation speed of 15,000 rpm, according to the company.

An optional automatic tool changer, offering 15-second tool change with output connections, is also available.
