Farley Wizard cnc plasma.

[gridley51]

Hi,I`m new here and this is my first post.I`m looking at buying a Farley plasma and am a bit worried that service for the Anca cnc control may only be available from the agent.Not that I mind dealing with the agent but this one seems not to be very reliable.
Has anyone come across these and can offer some advice.My other option is a Messer Greisheim machine with a Burny 2.5 control.

Never heard of the first option.... dont know if any others have?

MG is good kit, and burny 2.5 is very common, and simple to use.
Id be more tempted by the latter machine.

Hitch,
Farley which is/was an Australian company is a very well known name in the UK.There are a lot of their m/c`s here and they are spoken well off by their competitors.Unfortunately their agent seems incapable of getting of their backside and doing what they said they will do.That is why I have been looking for an alternative source for service for them.
I have now gone and bought the M+G m/c.It is 10ft x 6ft capacity and has a Hypertherm Max 100 source and gun.Have spoken to Messer`s office in Newcastle and they have been very helpful and because of that and the fact that they have a service tech in Glasgow I have gone with them.They also told me that the Burny 2.5 control on this is actually a 2.8 special so I`m quite happy.Once it`s installed the questions will begin.

Hi Mark

The 2 main company's in the UK for what you are looking for are Esprit Automation in Nottingham & Messer Greisheim . Both have great experiance & knowlege.

Hi mac1.
Esprit gave the Farley machines a glowing report as to build quality etc,and in fact offered me a Farley Wizard at a very competitive price.However I`m now with M+G and am waiting on Messer coming up with some info.
The machine is in my workshop and I`m checking over guides etc before installing it.Also need to source an extractor fan for it but don`t know how many cfm that will need to be.

Hey guys if you are talking about Vertera as the Farley agent above I can see what you mean, haven't heard anything good about them, but I found there are 2 agents in UK, try Karibu Engineering, they can repair any Farley, and supply all parts, and give honest help and advice
