Joseph Machine Cracks the Code on Flexible Machining

What happens when a bold concept meets next-generation automation?

Joseph Machine Company’s new jFlex SFMC machining center demonstrates what’s possible when high-axiscount motion control meets modern PC-based automation.

Built on Beckhoff technology, from industrial PCs and TwinCAT 3 automation software to EtherCAT and modular drive technology, the system coordinates 30+ axes across multiple CNC channels with highly precise, synchronized motion.

What’s under the hood?

- AX8000 servo drives

- AM8000 servomotors with One Cable Technology (OCT)

- EtherCAT P for simplified field wiring

- IP67 machine-mountable EtherCAT Box modules to cut cabinet sizeDocusign Envelope ID: AC9048DE-279C-4A1C-B3E9-766611D669C7

- TwinCAT NC PTP, Motion Designer software, reusable code modules, and CNC path parameterization

The result? A truly modular, serviceable, and future-ready platform for high-through put window and door profile manufacturing, turning a 40-year machine concept into a field-deployable reality.
