Farley plateworking systems eliminate up to three handling steps between the cutting, marking out and drilling of parts. For some shops, this has meant savings in process time and cost of between 60 and 80%. There is an added benefit, more capacity for a bigger order book and competitive pricing.

By combining the marking, drilling and cutting onto one machine you eliminate, not only the requirement to fixture the parts, to clean up the parts between the processes and also the complications of routing and tracking the parts. Quality is also improved because the part is referenced not from the flame or plasma cut edge which is the least accurate but from the drilled holes, which is far more reliable.
