Machining centre is a gift
The internet can sometimes be looked at as a gift and a curse but in the case of Cantifix and Kombimatec it definitely proved to be the former .

AFTER EXHAUSTIVE RESEARCH both off and online as part of a long-term plan whether or not to pur-chase a CNC machine , Cantifix came across Kombimatec and its website . So impressed with the Luton-based window machinery company ’ s knowledge and product range , it decided to purchase an AMC602 3 + 1 Axis CNC Machining Centre .
“ While price always has some part to play in the decision of whether or not to go ahead with a purchase we were seriously impressed with the overall build quality and , in particular , the fact that the bed rotated on the axis of the Kombimatec machine rather than the tool head ,” said Wil-liam Sharman , Cantifix ’ s Director . “ It allows greater flexibility for what we need to do and it saves time when dealing with the complex processes we often need to perform .”
Founded in 1986 , North London-based Cantifix has always taken on groundbreaking innovative projects that have attracted the attention of many an eminent architect or engineer . Refusing to accept that the “ impossible ” exists , they have proved this to be true time and time again both within the UK and with international projects . With a determined commitment to new technolo-gies the company ’ s passion for excellence is evident whilst selling , designing , manufacturing and installing its glass structures .
“ Everything we do is non-standard and often better suited to detailed manual attention during manufacture ,” continued Sharman . “ However , Kombimatec ’ s CNC Machining Centre certainly al-lows us to undertake some of our more repetitive tasks whilst maintaining the desired high standards that our clients expect .”
Kombimatec ’ s AMC602 Machining Centre has been designed to process extruded aluminium and utilises advanced CNC control combined with CAD software to position the electro spindle and se-lected tool to work on the selected profile . It includes four controlled axes , four adjustable pneu-matic clamps and comes with an industrial control unit for accurate positional control and a PC interface with CADCAM software . It also has an automatic tool changer to accommodate up to seven different tools . As a result , the machine can drill , rout , tap and mill without operator inter-ference .

Investing in a new Kombimatec automatic routing machine de-skills the fabrication of doors and windows and improves efficiency . Finding new skilled staff can prove difficult and installing a Kombimatec machine to assist the existing workforce could be the best solution to increasing output and profits .
The new AMC308 ( Left ) and AMC602 ( Above ) can take care of all the routing , drilling , milling and slotting of extruded aluminium and PVC profiles completely automatically without the constant operator supervision . The profile can be machined on all 4 sides using various tools automatically changed via the in-built magazine . You can start with a base model and add features like connection to the office computer and bar code ID reading .
