CUBE COMMERCIAL CHOOSES EMMEGI MACHINING PACKAGE

Until it invested in an Emmegi Phantomatic T3A CNC machining centre, Cannockbased Cube Commercial had been carrying out all its aluminium profile preparations using punch tooling and a copy router. The fabrication team were skilled and experienced so the quality was good, but Paul Grenfell, Cube’s Director knew it could be even better.

He said: “Our mission as a new full-service business providing design, consultancy, fabrication and installation services is to delight customers on every step of their journey with us. That has to start with the quality of the windows, doors, shopfronts and facades we fabricate, so choosing top quality machines was always our plan.

“Emmegi has an outstanding reputation in this industry for the usability and reliability of its machines, and when we spoke to a couple of other aluminium fabricators in our area, they had no hesitation in recommending them. In fact, it was a friend of mine in the industry who suggested the Phantomatic T3A and said it would suit the structure and vision of our company perfectly.”

The Phantomatic T3A three axes machining centre contains an angular machining head and a saw blade for machining on all five faces of the workpiece and comes with an eight-piece tool magazine. It also has an automatically positioned clamp unit and a high torque 5.5kW electro-spindle.

Paul Grenfell added: “Since the T3A was installed, we have certainly seen a significant improvement in our productivity and better precision, accuracy and overall quality in our frames. As you would expect, our fabrication team are very pleased with our investment – they can focus more on efficiency and quality control now and on delivering the repeatability and consistency that our commercial clients demand.

“From the moment we contacted them, the Emmegi team couldn’t have been more helpful. They have surpassed our expectations at every stage – not just in terms of the machine itself, but also the promptness and efficiency of their commissioning and service visits.

“In fact, we have been so impressed that we have also now purchased an Emmegi bead saw and crimper and various trolleys and ancillaries to add to the facilities here and continue our programme of ongoing investment. Moving forward, we plan to make Emmegi our machinery partner so that they can help us as we grow and ensure that our set-up suits our needs.

“We work hard to build strong partnerships with our suppliers because we recognise that they can make a huge difference to the quality of the service we can provide. We are currently planning on broadening our offering to include supply only framing solutions to installation companies in the UK, so those supplier partnerships will be more important than ever.”

Ian Latimer, Emmegi (UK)’s Managing Director who advised Cube on its investment, commented: “The Cube facility is already a great showcase for our products – absolutely immaculate and really well organised, and we’re very much looking forward to seeing how it develops in the future.” www.emmegi.com/en/home www.cubecommercial.co.uk
