Elumatec Ingenuity Helps Arkay Windows Take Production To The Next Level

For almost 90 years, fabricators across the globe have relied on the machinery expertise of elumatec, the world’s largest aluminium machinery company – including uPVC and aluminium specialists Arkay Windows, a leading North London fabricator renowned throughout the region for quality, reliability and on time deliveries.

Already using elumatec products in its uPVC and aluminium production for a number of years, last year the respected firm expanded its capacity with three further acquisitions – a DG 104 double-mitre saw, and two SBZ 122/74 four-axis machining centres.

“The team at Arkay came to us with a problem that affects all fast-growing fabricators – the need to streamline production to meet the increasing demand for their products,” comments elumatec Regional Sales Manager Bryan Dando.

“Our double-mitre saw and SBZ122 machining centres will allow them to efficiently machine aluminium and uPVC profiles to an exceptional standard, while taking up the minimal floor space.”

The SBZ 122/74 CNC machinery centre leads the way in intelligent profile machining. An innovative four-axis design and an upgraded machine bed allows for precise cutting at high-speed, with smarter disposal of waste materials.

Despite the smaller footprint, the machining centre offers more ergonomic operation, allowing the operator to work closer to the machine thanks to a unique inclined bed, remote controlled activation of the re-designed clamps and a protective enclosure.

Manufactured in Germany, the state-of-the-art DG104 double-mitre saw is a highly versatile machine that can cut both high and wide profiles for series production and special applications. The DG104 can accommodate cutting length variants of up to 6,000mm, making it a hugely versatile product.

Founded in 1928, elumatec has grown into the world’s biggest aluminium machinery company over almost ninety years in business.

Winning a global reputation for reliability, efficiency and excellence in design, elumatec has a presence in dozens of countries around the world, and across all five continents.
