Stockholder selects high-performance processing machines

Parker Steel has taken delivery of two heavy-duty Vernet Behringer plate processing machines and two high performance Esprit plasma profiling systems.

Parker Steel Managing Director Dylan Alexander said: “We are very happy with our investment and are particularly impressed with the build quality and performance of the Vernet Behringer heavy duty FG 2000 machines, together with attention to detail given and the ability to accommodate our software interface and feed-back requirements.”

Behringer Managing Director Simon Smith said: “The FG series of heavy duty plate processing machines can perform various drilling (with carbide and HSS drills up to Ø 50 mm), milling, marking and deburring operations of base plates up to 2,000mm × 1,000mm × 60mm.”

The closed portal machine frame is said to ensure an optimal rigidity, combined with heavy duty feeding carriage system with grippers, supporting the plate and an eight-position automatic tool changer.

The low tool cost V-scoring fast scribing system is a standard feature of FG machines, and is said to ensure fast, accurate and precise identification and layout marking.
