elumatec’s offerings excel at biggest ever FIT Show
Posted on 05/06/2017
Unveiling its newly expanded Sturtz machining range in the UK for the first time, globally respected machining manufacturer elumatec enjoyed a thoroughly successful FIT Show, leaving Birmingham with a string of promising leads.
The firm used the event to launch no less than five new products in the UK. Long noted for its strength in the global aluminium profile machining sector, elumatec’s partnership with Sturtz has now allowed it to significantly bolster the uPVC machining side of its business.
The firm’s newest offerings include the Stürtz FlexCentre 160, a highly-advanced cutting and machining centre for uPVC window and door production. Boasting a 6-axis machining module and a triple sawing unit, it’s one of the most versatile products in its class, while the automatic preload of profile bars and off-load conveyor belt maximise productivity and efficiency.
Also on display was the Stürtz TXR 3/2 Corner Transom Cleaner – a product that fully automates the cleaning of corners, transoms and crucifix welds. Spring-loaded knife units allow for unparalleled accuracy, while flexible tooling options allow the machine to be quickly adapted for different purposes.
The Sturtz VSM Turbo Welder is a high-speed vertical 4-point welder offering exceptional accuracy and high-temperature welding functionality that can reduce welding times by up to 30% - while the Sturtz Contourline is a revolutionary new product capable of producing smooth, virtually seamless corner welds much quicker than methods that involve complex specialist welding processes.
Phil Heavey, elumatec UK MD, commented: “There’s huge potential in the uPVC market. Technological advancements mean the best uPVC products are now on par with high-performance aluminium and composite alternatives – especially when they’re manufactured to an exceptional standard, using best-in-class machining products.
“At elumatec, we want to help fabricators capitalise on uPVC’s emergence as a premium material. We’ll help you make more, better products in less time, ramping up your productivity and allowing you to compete with the best in the business.
