Planetary preference
6th December 2016

Planet Partitioning, the sister division of Planet Products Limited chose a KOMBIMATEC DGS534 Electronic Double Mitre Saw but also an AMC602 Machining Centre.

“Kombimatec came out as the preferred choice,” said Fraser Green, Director of PP “The ability to generate programmes for the CNC router from the office at the order entry stage so that it can then be run on the CNC simply by scanning a barcode is very impressive.”

Aside from being impressed by the machines’ functionality, Fraser admitted to being a fan of the Luton-based company’s customer service: “The communication and willingness to provide further information on any queries raised was another reason we chose them over the competition - their customer service has been very good.”

The DGS534 Mitre Saw has a cutting length of four metres although, with the double stroke facility, the length of cut is extended to eight metres. It also has a short cut facility for cleat cutting and such. The heads swing inside and out to 45 degrees delivering great flexibility while the complete optimised cutting lists are downloaded to the saw via an Ethernet connection from a computer.

The AMC602 Machining Centre has been designed to process extruded aluminium and utilises CNC control combined with CAD software to position the electro spindle and selected tool to work on the selected profile. It includes four controlled axes, four adjustable pneumatic clamps and comes with an industrial control unit for accurate positional control and a PC interface with CADCAM software. It also has an automatic tool changer to accommodate up to seven different tools. As a result the machine can drill, rout, tap and mill without operator interference.
