Quadruple cutting power
8th May 2018

TruFrame has commissioned its fourth BDM cutting and machining centre as part of its 18-month £3.2 million investment programme.

The features include the ability to process profiles as short as 195mm, taking the requirement to separately process short profiles from thirteen per shift to just one every other shift, whilst diamond-tipped saw blades ensure that cut quality is as reliable as possible whilst dramatically reducing the frequency of blade changes.

The 8-axis machines also have servo-driven motors and a magnetic linear drive system, capable of moving at 15 metres per second.

The additional capacity provided by the new centres puts TruFrame in the position of being able to manufacture 4,000 frames on a standard 40-hour week.

Projects Director Patrick Firmager said: “Every piece of profile that goes into our windows and doors is now processed by one of our new BDM cutting and machining centres. Our implementation of best-in-class machinery and technology, combined with our unique hand-finishing process, ensures that our product quality and consistency is the finest you’ll see anywhere in the industry.”
