Luton-based aluminium fabricator, WeatherBreak Windows, has reacted to growing demand with a second AMC308 machining centre from Kombimatec at its 30,000ft2 facility.
WeatherBreak opted for the 3m version of the 3-axis AMC308 with CNC control with a colour touch screen display. Integrating an auto rotating work bench and an automatic multi-tool change cabinet, the AMC308 also combines a 5HP motor spindle, a quick-change ISO30 tool system, electronic variable speed control, pneumatic rotating of the work piece through 90-0-90 degrees with adjustment for intermediate angles.
Managing director Peter Hedges said: “We manufacture a full range of Smarts aluminium products, from Alitherm casements including Alitherm Heritage to the Visofold sliding/folding and bi-fold doors and curtain walling offering.
“We’ve experienced a significant uptake in demand across our aluminium range, and the Kombimatec AMC308 has proven to be a real asset to our production facility. It’s really easy to operate, it’s reliable and it does everything we want it to do, but without the excessive cost of other machines on the market.
“For the future, we are expecting demand for aluminium to continue to rise. I would have no hesitation in purchasing more machinery from Kombimatec to ensure that our production facility is properly equipped to continue to deliver the high level of quality and service that our customers have come to expect.”
