Quality engineering; the cornerstone of AES CNC machines

AES have been producing high quality CNC machines for over 30 years. Based in Bursa, Turkey, AES have remained true to traditional engineering standards manufacturing heavy duty machine frames designed to allow high positioning speeds for continual production. This rugged frame is the foundation for all AES machines ensuring long term accuracy, reliability and longevity.

Historically, AES predominantly served their home market becoming the number one CNC machine manufacturer to one of the largest markets in the world, with many machines typically running 24/7.

In the last ten years AES have expanded their activities becoming a global organisation with subsidiaries in Europe and USA. This has seen exponential growth as awareness for the AES products has been recognised resulting in substantial investments in both their manufacturing and assembling capacity, design and support infrastructure.

In 2017, AES entered the UK market initially with the CNC drilling machines and as with other markets the momentum soon grew resulting in the regular installation of the different models of drilling, nesting, door processing CNCs and beam saws.

Following this success, investments have been made in the support of UK based engineers who are readily available for both installations and after sales care along with direct access to the AES technical service team if required.

Having installed new AES machinery since 2017, there have been several customers who have added to their manufacturing capacity with another AES product typically buying a CNC drilling machine then purchasing a nesting machine. AES also have several customers who have purchased a stand-alone nesting machine and have upgraded to fully automatic line machines with auto-loading, off-loading and auto-labelling.

In short, AES can offer a broad range of manufacturing solutions from entry level through to machines running 24/7 with either three-, fouror five-axis configurations.

The AES Flexa Pro series have proved to be a particular hit for those moving from sliding table panel saws and adopting CNC technology for the first time.

Whether using existing CAD or supplying Polyboard parametric cabinet CAD, we have several customers with no previous CNC experience where we have delivered, installed and trained resulting in them manufacturing in just one week.

The Vega series of pod and rail style machines have also proved popular whether in compact 1325 version (2500 x 1300mm) or 1360 (1300 x 6000mm) for the production of stairs and again in three-, four- or five-axis configurations.

One of the winning features of the Vega series has been the dedicated, double-sided horizontal router head for cutting the locks and hinges typically when processing fire doors.

AES will be at the Ligna trade show in May this year where they will have a commanding presence and will have on display one of the largest selections of CNC nesting, drilling, joinery and panel processing machines. For anyone in the market for a new CNC or beam saw, a visit to the AES stand is a must.
