Adding Functionality, Power, and Speed to Farris’ Fabrication Abilities

The Muratec Motorum 2558 T is Farris Fab and Machine’s most recent cutting edge machine tool addition. This state-of-the-art- machine facilitates process integration, decreases power consumption, improves part accuracies, and faster punching rates.

This high volume punch is virtually unbeatable, it utilizes a advanced Fanuc CNC controls for sheet metal processing up to a quarter inch mild steel. Unlike lasers, the Motorum turret punch has the ability to do secondary operations, such as: forming, tapping, and deburring.

With the implementation of our newest machine, the Muratec Motorum 2558T we are able to reach optimum RAM speeds which leads to fast and accurate forms, while maintaining minimal distortion to the work piece.

The Muratec ram drive technology incorporates a toggle mechanism driven by the AC servo motor. A single rotation of the crank arm gives 2 punching strokes; therefore, exerting more power while using less energy. This innovative technology has resulted in accomplishing higher productivity, environmentally friendly operation, and energy efficiency.

At Farris Fab and Machine we are devoted to staying well-informed of the newest technologies to ensure quality and exceed customer satisfaction. We are pleased to announce the addition of 2 state-of-the-art quality measuring tools, the 4 ft. span Faro arm and the 12 ft. span Faro Arm. The Faro Arm is a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that allows easy verification of product quality by performing 3D inspections, tool certifications, CAD comparisons, dimensional analysis, reverse engineering, and so much more.

Due to the Faro Arms portability, the tool can be brought to the site of the inspection; therefore, reducing non-value added material handling. The Faro Arm helps in reducing onsite measuring time, which ultimately reduces overall costs. These savings are then passed on to our customer.

It is our ongoing attention to quality and innovative technology that has made us one of the most prominent contract manufacturers in the Southeast. Our goal was to end the sole reliance on fixed CMMs and the Faro Arm has done just that. By offering high accuracy levels, improving measurement consistency, reducing inspection time, and generating automatic reports, this technology has contributed to our ongoing improvement processes, quality, and our continuous movement toward customer satisfaction.
