MACHINERY

Looking towards
the Future
For the third time in the last twelve
months Yorkshire based aluminium
fabricator Marlin Windows has invested
in new machinery, demonstrating
its confidence in the market and
commitment to provide consistently
high quality aluminium glazing products.
»»Marlin Windows
specialises in manufacturing
high quality bespoke aluminium
windows and doors for residential
applications in contemporary,
retro refurbishment and heritage
sectors.
In 2014, the company
recognised the need to develop
and improve its manufacturing
facility and decided that a
dedicated machine was needed. A
visit to the Elumatec Fabricator
Show led to discussions about the
machine range options, which in
turn helped to identify the key
machine tool features and precise
specification.
The company decided that
the SBZ 122/33 automated

CNC profile machining centre
would be the most suitable
addition because of its ability
to accurately and consistently
machine aluminium profiles and
its flexibility and adaptability to
accommodate a wide range of
project applications.
The new three-axis profile
machining centre was delivered
and installed in March 2015 and
Andy Bates, elumatec’s production
support and training manager,
provided training for the machine’s
operators.
Andrew Robson, elumatec
technical sales manager,
commented: “It has been great to
work with an innovative fabricator
that is passionate about quality

and manufactures to exceptionally
high industry standards.”
Marlin plans to continue
working in partnership with
elumatec as a preferred machinery

supplier with further investment
in automated machinery planned
for 2016.

THE PERFECT FIT
»»Hampshire based trade
fabricator, Quick Glaze approached machinery
specialists Emmegi (UK) to help them select a
new machine and increase output of its multifold doors.
The size of the machine was a top priority
due to the lack of factory space, so Emmegi’s
sales manager Andrew Jones recommended
Emmegi’s Nanomatic semi-automatic copy
router with two controlled axes which fitted
requirements perfectly both in terms of
dimensions and capability.
Martyn Quick, managing director of Quick
Glaze, was able to view the machine in action
via Emmegi’s website and order a machine

from stock at Emmegi’s UK
headquarters in Coventry.
He commented: “The whole
buying process was simple and fuss
free and has already helped us double
production of our multi-fold doors.”
The Nanomatic 384S machine can be
connected to a PC via a USB connection and

Emmegi’s intuitive software
is easy to use. As a result,
Quick Glaze is already reporting
improvements in overall quality
and consistent accuracy and has
eliminated the potential for user error which
existed with its previous manual operated
copy router.
