PRODUCTION STARTS FOR ALL NEW PROFILE MACHINING CENTRE
9th September 2014

Production has begun at elumatec’s German manufacturing facility of its all new SBZ 137 Profile Machining Centre, a compact four-axis profile model for working aluminium and PVC profiles.

With its innovative, patented machine concept the SBZ 137 features a machine table that is tilted towards the operator and a new, high-speed ring module.

By tilting the machine table 30 degrees, it enables the operator to work in an ergonomic position as it can be loaded from an upright position, thus reducing potential back strain. The inclined bed gives the operator a very clear view of the SBZ 137 in all machining positions and cleaning the made is faster as swarf automatically falls off the inclined table and can be carried away by an optional conveyor.

The ring module, which can run at a speed of up to 150 m/min on the machine bed, substantially shortens operation times. Its increased speed comes from the very small safety gap that reduces travel distances as it moves around the profile to machine the various surfaces.

The first SBZ 137s will be arriving in the UK in autumn.
