BIGGER AND BETTER AT FIT
» » EMMEGI (UK), THE
machinery specialist, has been
at every FIT Show so far and
its stands have grown in size
and scale every single time. In
line with that, the 2019 stand
will feature a mix of machining
centres, welders and saw
options, and plenty of ancillary
machines and equipment such
as crimpers, copy routers,
trolleys and benches to give
visitors maximum choice.
Managing Director Ian
Latimer said: “We know the
FIT Show is just about the
perfect platform for us. It’s
not just about launching
new products, although we
will have plenty of exciting
innovations on show, it’s also
about making it easy for new
and existing customers to see
the broadest possible range
of machines in action.”
On show for the first time
will be the hugely capable
Comet R6 – a 5-axis machining
centre for aluminium, PVC-U,
light alloys, and even steel
which can machine up to
four separate bars in two
independent work areas. Also
on display will be the smaller
Phantomatic M4L 4-axis
machining centre, the Fusion
4H and 4TVH welders, and
the 5 metre Combi Electra Star
and the 6 metre Precision TS2
saws.

AN ALUMINIUM UK-FIRST FOR FIT
» » ALUK WILL BE REVEALING A BRAND
new 70mm window system at the FIT
Show; thought to be the first time that
an aluminium window system has been
available in the UK with the gaskets pre-
inserted – a move with AluK estimates
could halve the time it takes customers to
manufacture a window.
Managing Director Russell Yates says:
“The AluK C70S will be pitched directly
at the mid-rise commercial market where
there is still plenty of potential for growth
in aluminium. It is the new big brother
of our iconic 58BW window system and
incorporates everything which we know
fabricators and installers love about the 58
– but with even faster, simpler fabrication
and much improved performance.”
Thermal performance is between 1.0W/
m2K and 1.3W/m2K, a 50mm glazing option
allows for improved acoustics and a max
sash weight of 150kg for tilt before turn
windows, and wind and water tightness
levels are class leading - even with large
span window openings. It also of course
PAS24 accredited for inward and opening
windows, making it suitable for all projects
requiring Approved Document Q.
