The High Precision and High Production System
When the first Phoenix was built for Farwest Steel (U.S.A) in 1992, it was immediately hailed as a world breakthrough in precision profiling. The Phoenix has continued to evolve and to this day still remains firmly at the top of its class, as the most accurate and most productive plasma system available. The secret of this machine is that it has been designed with one aim in mind, to get the most accurate plasma cutting combined with high speed and productivity. The implementation of such an aim took the full skills of Farley Laserlab’s engineering and production departments.

Strength and precision
The rail system
The Phoenix uses a very heavy duty trapezoidal rail system that provides over eight times the stability of the competitive systems and more than twice that of our other rail systems used on other Farley machines.
The drive system
The Phoenix uses the twin-pinion drive system similar to that used on the Farley Plateworking systems and other high precision gantry type milling machines. The system virtually eliminates backlash and at the same time averages out any track or rack imperfections. This drive system is powered by 3.5kW [5HP] AC servos.
The beam structure
In keeping with the basic design philosophy of all Farley machines, the beam and the side or end trucks are all fabricated as one piece, stress relieved and than machined.
The benefits of these design improvements are all expressed in both the output of the machine and the quality of the parts produced.
The Phoenix is often used in situations that compete directly with laser cutting, and because of it’s far greater output, it will often win the work. That is not to say that the Phoenix can compete with laser in every situation, but where the nature of the parts is suitable, the Phoenix will make a big difference to the bottom line.
