The Farley LaserLab Hercules is designed for the light to medium machinery and structural steel market where there are usually fewer operations on a plate and speed is more important and capital budgets are more constrained. While less expensive, it shares many of the key concepts such as twin pinion drives, fully programmable spindle, plate clamping, automatic tool changing etc. but on Lighter plates wit holes up to 32mm (1¼â€? diameter. Where the hole diameter is about the same or greater than the plate thickness, the Hercules is faster than the larger machines.
| 1.Highlights |
Proven savings throughout your operation
The benefits of a single installation for full plate working extend beyond the obvious labour and materials handling savings.
Dramatic reductions in lead time and floor space.
Simplified production planning and lower storage costs.
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� centers.
Better Quality Parts
The combination of the Farley designed moving gantry, trapezoidal rails, twin pinion backlash gearboxes and digital AC servo drives and motors ensures that the Hercules gives out customers component accuracy and unsurpassed parts quality.
Reduced Materials Usage
The capacity to process wider and longer plate will produce savings in both material and time.
Tooling Flexibility
With up to 20 plus different tools, the Hercules can tap, bore, countersink and even perform back chamfering.
Versatility Plus
The versatility, functionality and speed of the Hercules is suited to almost any fabrication environment, whether it be yellow goods, machinery manufacturing, steel construction or bridge building.
