Stuga ZX3 for Window Scene
26th June 2012

The company’s expansion programme involves keeping manufacturing costs under control so therefore the sawing and machining areas came under scrutiny.

Stuga’s strong presence in Scotland – they already have fifteen sawing & machining centres installed there - was a major reason for selecting the company. Managing Director Drew Bennett felt that purchasing a machine built in another country and supported by a dealer couldn’t possibly match dealing directly with the manufacturer and one with a reputation for first class back-up.

The Stuga ZX3 is capable of producing between 600 and 700 windows per week without overtime and processes the pieces utilising a lateral transfer table that doubles as a buffer station almost eliminating time delays created by sawing and machining timing conflicts. Inline buffers cannot achieve this so efficiently. The fast saw cycle is more efficient than machines with two sawing blades that have to de-clamp, shuffle and re-clamp the profile between cuts. This saw output is key to the machine output.


All Stuga sawing & machining centres come with online diagnostics and on-board cameras for speedy fault finding. Several technicians are capable of interrogating the machines over the internet and all are UK based. They also come with Microsoft Windows operating system (English version) and random offcut loading with instant re-optimisation as standard.
Stuga’s engineers are geographically based throughout the UK to enable a speedy of response.
