event zone 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. www.emmegi.com Exciting building for FIT systems launch » » EPWIN WINDOW SYSTEMS co.uk and book your ticket for FIT.” Epwin Window Systems is long-established and the most successful systems supplier in the industry with a reputation for delivering innovations that set a new standard for the sector.

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. www.aluk.co.uk *Image for illustrative purposes only M AY 2 019 77
