Oxfordshire based 3D Aluminium has upgraded its original Emmegi Phantomatic T3A 3-axes machining centre to a new Phantomatic X4 4-axes model to add to the X4 it already owns, to expand capacity and increase its versatility.
The fourth axis on the X4 model allows it to machine profile at any angle from 0 to 180°, in comparison with the T3A which can machine from above and from 90º to right and left from the vertical.
Alongside the new machining centre, 3D has invested in a new Emmegi Precision TS2 twin-head electronic saw, with a patented profile clamping device which, as the name suggests, achieves extremely precise cuts.
Paul Batts, 3D production manager, said the company didn’t need to go anywhere else when looking to invest in new machinery. He explained: “We’ve always been impressed with the machines and with the service from the whole team. What’s particularly useful for us is the fact that Emmegi’s range is so broad that we know they will always have a machine available which exactly suits our needs.”
3D is involved in fenestration projects across London and the Home Counties, with an emphasis on education, healthcare and both the new build and refurbishment sectors, making windows, doors and curtain walling in Comar, Aluprof, Technal and Wicona profiles.
