Farsoon FS812M — Technical data

The FS812M is a large-format Farsoon metal system for series production of metre-long parts. The build cylinder measures 840 × 840 × 1,700 mm, with 810 × 810 × 1,700 mm usable. Depending on the version, eight or ten 500 W fibre lasers or ten 1,000 W lasers with beam shaping are fitted. The machine is 6.5 m high and weighs around 23 t; according to the trade press it needs 41 % less floor space than its predecessor despite the greater build height. The system includes an enclosed breakout station with glove ports and a multi-layer gas flow. Target industries are aerospace, oil and gas, energy and automotive.

Used FS812M machines hardly exist yet given the young series; with any offer, logistics come first: hall height, foundation, crane and access for transport modules. Technically, laser configuration, calibration, laser hours, filters and gas flow should be documented. An inert gas demand of 12–15 l/min and a connection of up to 114 A require capable infrastructure. Settle warranty and service with Farsoon Europe by contract.

2 · Let us search

Nothing suitable? We will search for you – or get an e-mail as soon as a matching machine comes in.

3 · Have parts printed

Not worth your own machine? We produce your parts – request from the LayerByLayer 3D printing service.

Buy or have it printed? For small or changing quantities, having parts printed is often cheaper than your own machine. If you regularly fill many build jobs, your own machine pays off.
