TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Flex-Max
Flex-Max
The PlymoVent Flex-Max is the perfect extraction arm in situations requiring maximum flexibility. With the Flex-Max arm you
can cover the whole working area. Models
range from 13.1 ft up to 28.9 ft working
radius. The hood can reach from the floor
up to 13.1 ft above the mounting height.
Flex-Max is a real problem solver when it comes to
reaching into the tightest corners of the workshop,
positioning very low, reaching long distances or working on very
high objects. Flex-Max consists of an inner and an outer arm, both of
which are mounted on a double ball-bearing pivot. The outer arm, which
has three adjustable joints, gives maximum flexibility within
its working radius and may be rotated through a full 360°. The inner arm is
equipped with a suspension rail for cables, compressed air hoses, wire-feeders
etc. This can be loaded with up to 110.0 LB of weight. Manuvering of the
extraction arm is from the hood. Hose extensions FSL-1, SLE-20 and SLE-30 can
easily be fitted to the extraction arm.
