  Ferry manufactures the FEMCO line of precision equipment for cutting honeycomb, rigid foam and flexible foam, in both vertical and horizontal formats. FEMCO machinery includes manual, semi-automated and fully-automated user-friendly machines engineered and built for consistent close-tolerance performance and long life. Femco cutting accuracy and value are unmatched. The semi-automated and fully-automated machines enable users to quickly enter, revise and store multiple cutting programs. This allows multiple thickness of cuts of the same material without stopping to adjust the machine, reducing operator error. Many items, such as optional table
sizes, let processors custom configure machines for specific
duties. Also offered are numerous optional features and ancillary equipment
such as dust-collection systems, block loaders, powered blade guides, |
automatic
blade-advance systems, compression rolls, take-away conveyors
and bun joiners. FEMCO machines are in service throughout the world cutting
a wide variety of materials to very close tolerances. Flexible materials cut with FEMCO machines: Polyurethanes, Polyesters, Polyimide, Phenolic, Polystyrene, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, PVC, EVA, Minicell®, Rebond Foams & Rubbers, Superseal®, Ensolite®, Neoprene, EPDM, PVN. Rigid materials cut with FEMCO machines: Honeycomb Materials: Carbon Fiber, Nomex®, Korex®, Aluminum, Titanium, Glass, Ceramic-Filled. Other Rigid Materials: Polyurethane Foams, Balsa, Veneers, Corian®, Epoxy,  Fiber-filled Composites,
Plastic Pipe, Cross-linked Plastics.Femco machines can stand alone or be incorporated in series to efficiently process material into merchandisable product. Custom design and manufacturing are available when standard models are not applicable. This A-14 Gantry saw was custom engineered for cutting the honeycomb composite material specified for the B-2 Stealth Bomber. |

For Cutting Rigid Materials: HORIZONTAL SAWS The A-14 Heavy-Duty saws are standards world-wide for precise, efficient fabrications of rigid materials. The saw is available in two styles: a fixed-head, moving table, shown at the left, and a moving-head, fixed-table (Gantry) shown above. The computer control manages the machine functions and collects data including machine settings, operator inputs, fault logging and diagnostics, also provides storage for the machine programs and production run histories. It can be programmed to print Bar Code labels with part number, date, time, operator number, slice thickness and cut number. |

VERTICAL SAWS Our B-5P Heavy-Duty saw, shown, is used for cutting double-wall corrugated plastic pipe at different angles. Pipe up to 72" O.D. with solid or tri-wall construction can be cut at any angle up to 45° left to 45° right. Also available is a B-5 Heavy-Duty Table Saw for cutting and trimming honeycomb. B-5-Hobe Saw, not shown, is a heavy-duty saw designed to cut aluminum Hobe prior to expansion or trim expanded aluminum honeycomb blocks. |

Femco Equipment For Cutting Flexible Materials:
HORIZONTAL SLITTER/SAWS 4A6 Stackmaster Table Slitter, shown left, is designed to slit a complete 50" high (60" optional) low density bun automatically leaving the cut sheets in a neat stack. The high-volume vacuum blower provides superior air-flow and hold-down power to the vacuum table. The companion 4A6 Carrousel machine has the same reliable cutting head over a 22'10" diameter rotating table. This machine can accommodate multiple 86" wide buns around the table for high-volume production. The A-14 Heavy-Duty Splitter, shown, is for cutting high density foams and sponge rubbers. The computer control manages the machine functions, collects data including machine settings, operator inputs, fault logging and diagnostics, provides storage for the machine programs and production run histories. It can also be programmed to print Bar Code labels with part number, date, time, operator number, slice thickness and cut number. The A-14 Heavy-Duty Gantry Splitter, shown left, is for cutting long buns of high-density foams, sponge rubbers, neoprene and other rubber-like materials. After each cut, the sheet is automatically rolled on a core or mandrel as the cutting head returns to the start point. The 54' long vacuum table may also operate as an air assist table while loading the material to be cut. An optional bun gluing station (shown) can bond short buns to long buns. |

VERTICAL SAWS
The B-300 Manual Table Saw can be fitted with a 30" high fence, a fence indexer, blade grinders, electric upper blade guide, and a side car table extension all shown at right. The B-300 is an economical answer for high-volume trimming or cutting. The B-600 Automatic Programmable Moving Head Saw, shown at left, can cut bi-directional. It comes standard with a precision power driven fence, programmable controls and automatic electric upper blade guide. Power-driven outside fence, as shown, can be added as an option, as well as electric powered or friction blade grinders. B-40, Manual Tilt Saw, shown, is a unique saw because the blade will tilt 45° each way from 90° to the table. The large table, accurate fence positioning and tilt readout allow precise control of the angle of cut. The tilting action can be motorized. |

| The FT-7 foam
tester is an Indentation Force Deflection (IFD) machine that provides Standard
ANSI/ASTM compression and other tests. The Pico Abrasion Tester is for
evaluating abrasive resistance of rubber and the BFG Flexometer is an industry
standard for testing the hysteresis of rubber. We build technically advanced saws, slitters and splitters for the quality conscience manufacturer. TOP |
