The CNC machine is controlled by a Beckhoff PLC system and offers a 2.5 metre maximum routing capacity. The machine is capable of routing both sides in one automated operation to further improve manufacturing efficiencies and routing accuracy.
Dave said: “The speed at which we have developed and bought the machine to market is nothing less than incredible and demonstrates the strength and capability of our design and manufacturing teams.” The machine will be one of a large selection of fabrication machinery on show at FIT 2022 from the Staffordshire-based

The company says it will also be the first ever fully seamless machinery stand in the UK because it will showcase the complete Graf Synergy range, as well as machinery from both Haffner and FOM ranges. Award-winning Haffner has been synonymous with quality fabrication machinery for many years. As a business that is ahead of the curve, the new MAC 145 Night Vent Router is another example of the company’s proactive approach to offering the machines that fabricators need. Dave concludes: “As a business, we pride ourselves on offering the largest machinery range to help fabricators of all sizes and solve their day-to-day problems. The amendments to Part F have caught many fabricators by surprise but the new MAC 145 Night Vent Router is a machine that will help them to accurately deliver this new requirement as well as free up capacity on their existing machining centres.” www.haffnerltd.com
