COMBINED PLASMA CUTTING AND DRILLING MACHINE FOR MULTI PROCESS MANUFACTURING
Precision plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, marking, drilling and tapping to high tolerances, in one set-up. This machine is ideal for multi-processing production parts that require medium sized drilling. The Hercules has provided job shops to OEMs with the competitive edge.
Taking a total systems approach, Farley LaserLab has designed
and manufactured the latest
in plate processing systems,
combining plate marking, drilling,
tapping and cutting all in one
unique set-up.
600 HOLES PER HOUR
This is the benchmark for the Farley LaserLab
Hercules 600 holes, 20mm (3/4”) diameter in
20mm (3/4”) plate at 100mm (4”) centres.
In the fabrication, construction, building, boiler
and other value added industries, hole drilling is
often an undervalued function, and possessing a
machine that can drill effectively and reliably will
enhance your ability to remain competitive.
The
Hercules is both quick and accurate at drilling and
can also chamfer, counterbore, bore and tap holes.
The Hercules uses the latest in drill tooling
technology to ensure our customers are always
in front.
VERSATILITY PLUS!
The combined drilling and cutting process
drastically reduces materials handling, work
in progress and eliminates costly bottlenecks.
The versatility, functionality and speed of the
Hercules is suited to almost any fabrication
environment, whether it be yellowgoods,
machinery manufacturing, steel construction
or bridge building. Give us your requirements:
• Plate size
• Typical plate thickness
• Typical part drawing
• Type of downstream operations
Let us show you how to increase productivity
in your plant.
COMBINING OPERATIONS CUTS
WORK-IN-PROGRESS
Combining marking, drilling, tapping and cutting
operations onto one machine has an immediate
effect on work-in-progress.
• Eliminate double handling
• JIT and KANBAN capable system
• Kit of parts capability
• Design flexibility for product development
and tailoring
• Better utilisation of resources
• Less floor space
• Load and unload without stopping
REDUCED MATERIALS USAGE
The capacity to process wider and longer plate
will produce savings in both material and time.
SLASHED LEAD TIMES
Combining easy programming, quick set-ups,
multi-tooling with high machine performance
gives Hercules customers the leading edge
in very competitive markets.
TOOLING FLEXIBILITY
The Hercules utilises a fully programmable
“through coolant” spindle, achieving speeds
between 100 and 4500 rpm, ensuring that the
modern carbide drills can be used to their optimum.
With up to 20 plus different tools, the Hercules
can tap, bore, counter-sink and even perform back
chamfering.
