Trade and commercial aluminium fabricator Fenster Fabrications Ltd has purchased two Kombimatec double mitre saws for its fabrication unit in Torquay.
The company says the Kombimatec DGS560 large capacity electronic double mitre saw will help meet demand for larger, custom-sized windows and doors, while the DGS536 electronic double mitre saw (3 axis), provides flexibility with cutting angles from 22.5 and 135 degrees.
Business development manager James Perry said: “Our saws were starting to show signs of age, albeit still working reasonably well. But the main reason for the investment was to future-proof our business.
“We’re looking to grow the trade side of the business moving forward, and this investment will be of great help. As profiles become wider we’re able to work with these without issue. Therefore, we needed products that were going to integrate with our system and the future plans we have for our factory upgrades.”
He concluded: “We’re able to integrate new technologies with these saws. Now we have a direct link from our production office to the saws, and bar length optimisation is taken care of automatically. This also ties in with a new barcoding system that allows us to track jobs during the production stages.”
After reviewing the options it was Kombimatec, said James, who offered the best value for money for what was needed: “They also gave us a good level of service and support – with a shout out to Dave in particular, who was great at guiding us through the process of replacements.”
Kombimatec director David Parsons added: “Understanding precisely the customers needs’ with respect to cutting capacity and angle requirements was key to helping them make the right choice. We’re delighted to be working with forward thinking customers like Fenster, who plan ahead to meet both current and future production demands.”
