Six-figure deal
3rd May 2016

The PROMAC GROUP has announced a six-figure sale to an undisclosed buyer for three FOM Industries aluminium cutting, machining and thermal processing lines.

The order, from a large aluminium systems supplier, includes the FOM LMT 62 working and cutting line with saw blade; the FOM Omicron thermal bridging production system; and the Keope E5 compound angle double head sawing machine.

David Stockton-Chalk, Chairman, Promac, said: “FOM is a global leader in the manufacture of aluminium processing, cutting and machining centres, and is enjoying a rapidly growing reputation here in the UK. Because it owns each and every part of the manufacturing process from electronics to software development, systems are fully integrated contributing to a very high level of performance and reliability and the efficiencies and commercial advantages that go with it.”

The LMT 62 cutting line combines multiple axis and a multi-spindle work centre with FOM’s ProCut software to maximise the efficient use of bar lengths.

The OMICRON Thermal bridging production system, brings together leading edge systems into a single purpose-built thermal bridging line.

The KEOPE E5, is FOM’s compound angle sawing centre. This features automatic head rotation between 22.5° external and 140° internal (Y and Z axes) and internal blade inclination at 90° and at 45°. Maximum cutting capacity between the two heads is 5000 by 6600 mm.
