Automated cutting and forming machinery shown

Intelligent, automated machinery for cutting and forming steel and aluminium includes automatic profile cutting machines, saws, and copy routers.

Elumatec will be showing a whole range of metal cutting and metal forming machinery, including a wide range of profile cutting machines, saws, and copy routers, at the UK's MACH 2008 machine tool exhibition.

Managing director of Elumatec, Phil Heavey, said: "Companies that cut and route aluminium and steel for a variety of needs, have to be assured that the machinery that they use is reliable, efficient and cost effective.

We can offer intelligent, automated machinery for a massive range of applications where the fashioning of metal is required".

Demonstrating Elumatec's advanced technology in aluminium and steel fabrication will be a wide range products, including the advanced SBZ151 5-axis profile machine centre capable of drilling, routing, taping, cutting and notching.

The SAS142 represents the company's extensive range of automatic saws suitable for cutting high-volumes of aluminium profiles for window manufacturing and industrial applications.

The SLK118 copy router will also be on display.

* Software - Also on display be Elumatec's Puma Systems software package that allows the full presentation and extrapolation of technical data for the manufacture of long pieces of aluminium on screen and in 3D.

Specifically developed to serve multiple axes profile-machining centres, this highly advanced software system simplifies the programming sequence, which enables shorter running times and effects time and cost savings for aluminium fabricators.

Heavey said: "This is a significant piece of software for the industry.

The SAT interface accesses data from a huge range of 3D compatible software products and includes clamp management and path and tool optimisation, all clearly visible in 3D to allow the operative maximum visualisation of the component.

Quite simply, the package facilitates greater, faster and more accurate productivity for aluminium fabricators and we are very excited to be able to demonstrate its capabilities in conjunction with our CNC profile machining centres at the exhibition".

Heavey told manufacturingtalk.com: "Our products have massive potential to enhance and improve the production processes involved in all areas of the industrial market, involving metal working and fabrication, and this has been proved by our diverse and ever-growing customer base".

He continued: "As the foremost show in the industry, MACH 2008 provides the perfect forum for us to display our comprehensive product range and to demonstrate the unbeatable versatility, reliability and speed of some of our most popular machines.

Expert advice will also be on hand throughout the show and we relish this exciting opportunity to educate the engineering and manufacturing technologies sector in the advanced capabilities of our machinery".

MACH 2008 is the essential exhibition for this market sector, with the last show attracting over 500 exhibitors and in excess of 22,000 visitors through the NEC doors.

Visitors encompass a broad range of industrial disciplines, including engineering, metal goods, aerospace and automatic industries.

The show is the only venue where all those involved in these industries can find out about new product and system development under one roof, said Elumatec.
