KOMET MicroKom BluFlex 2 precision drilling system
MicroKom BluFlex – the second generation
The KOMET GROUP has developed a second, completely
redesigned version of the MicroKom BluFlex precision drilling system,
which is impressive thanks to its high levels of precision and simple
handling, as well as a particularly high-contrast OLED display. Using
Bluetooth, the display located in the head of the MicroKom BluFlex 2
can also be transmitted to any conventional Android or iOS
smartphone.
The user-friendliness of the new KOMET MicroKom BluFlex 2
precision drilling system has been further improved compared to the
previous model. This is down to a new, particularly high-contrast
OLED display which is located on the precision adjustment head itself.
It is extremely energy-efficient, which means that the batteries located
in the head only need to be replaced occasionally. The user can
configure all settings using the touch display. It even changes its
position by 180° at the touch of a button.
An absolute position measuring system is integrated in the precision
adjustment head. This displays the absolute and relative positions of
the slide every time the system is switched on. As is required for
precision drilling, the tool can be finely adjusted in the µm range. The
display is also able to show the position of the tool in µm increments.
The part balancing, which is also integrated to the head, enables
speeds of up to 20,000 rpm to be reached. Although the slide is selfclamping, we recommend manually clamping it with a hex key for high
speeds and precision applications. The precision adjustment head can
also be radially adjustment in this simple manner.
The current Bluetooth adjustment key is no longer necessary in the
new version of BluFlex. This is because all of the Bluetooth
technology is located in the precision adjustment head. This also
includes a Bluetooth low-energy interface, which makes it possible to
transmit all data to a smartphone (from Android 4.3 or iOS 10). Users
can view the BluFlex display on their smartphone using the MicroKom
BluFlex 2 app which is available in the Google Play Store and App
Store – with the added convenience of a wider range of more flexible
options for reading off data.
MicroKom BluFlex 2 is suitable for precision drilling in the diameter
range from 6 mm to 365 mm. The precision drilling system features
the universal ABS interface which is standard for KOMET tools and is
fully compatible with the current MicroKom BluFlex and hi-flex
systems where the tools are concerned. Despite the addition of the
display to the head, the dimensions of the head have not changed.
