Automated production line

The MC 316 Fabcenter automated production line by Mecal is an advanced manufacturing cell, sawing and machining line, for aluminum and PVC windows and doors, or similar extrusions. Consisting of a horizontal loading table with user-definable partitions, the processing unit contains a 3-axis sawing head and 6-spindle—with an option for 8—machining element with 360-degree rotation of the tool-holding frame. A material rotation axis on the gripper to add machining capability is optional.

Tempering measurement system

Viprotron’s Temper Scanner 5D is a complete tempering line measurement system that uses True Edge technology. It scans for all distortion and measures from edge to edge, detecting anisotropy, white haze, scratches and coating defects. Equipped with up to five different inspection channels, this modular scanner combines state-of-the-art technology from five different scanners into one device. The Temper Scanner measures all distortions at the exit of a tempering furnace.
