Capacity expanded
30th May 2017

Aluminium window, door and curtain walling fabricator SOUNDCRAFT DOORS has chosen an Emmegi Phantomatic M3 machining centre to help it expand capacity and manage some new large scale commercial projects.

Soundcraft was originally a timber joinery company but in recent years has switched its emphasis to aluminium and hybrid systems produced by Senior Architectural Systems, which now account for more than 80% of its output.

Previously, the Orpington based company had used its CNC timber machines for machining in aluminium, but has now replaced these with the bespoke Emmegi solution.

Production Manager Lee Gordon said: “We have been impressed with Emmegi (UK) at every stage of the buying process. The sales manager Andrew Jones talked through our requirements with us and really made the effort to understand what we needed before recommending the 3+1 axis machine which suits our factory perfectly. The installation team did a great job as well, and the training and support we received meant that we were up to speed with the machine in just a few weeks.

“Our skilled joiners can now be deployed to more complex tasks which means we are getting better value from them, whilst our in-training team are still able to turn out beautifully crafted aluminium frames thanks to the precision of the Phantomatic M3.”

At Soundcraft, the Phantomatic M3 is linked to BM Aluminium’s LogiKal software which is enabling the company to connect its CAD design function to its manufacturing.
