FARO F1 versus Other Competitors


PROS Competitors:
  • Automatic coil reverse for top / bottom processing
  • Well engineered aesthetic

CONS Competitors:
  • Structure in electro-welded steel that can lead to misalignment and vibration transmission
  • Very limited work area respect to the total sheet size
  • Extremely small area available for diamond-cutting
  • Bottom processing restricted to the central part of the sheet
  • Diamond-cutting wheel with one tool only
  • Diamond-cutting wheel with limited operating radius to avoid collision on the vise
  • Feed rate less than 50% of the Faro F1
  • Long and laborious programming with non-dedicated software
  • Difficult metal chips recovery due to the “well engineered aesthetic” full frame
WHAT HAS GOT FARO MORE:
