MACHINING CENTER ALU-FLEX TWIN HEAD - Specifications
- Maximum work piece dimensions which can be processed = LX x 550 x 200 mm.
- Maximum work piece dimensions including sawing = LX minus 1.200 mm x 550 x 200 mm.
- We construct any length of these models on demand.
- Pneumatic over turning saw unit (optional CNC over turning)
- Rapid X = 80 m/min, rapid Y = 60 m/min, rapid Z = 30 m/min, rapid A = 90°/sec
WORKING AREA AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- All models are standard delivered with safety fences on the left, right and back side of the machine.
The front side is protected with a CE certified led safety curtain to protect the working area. - As an option all our models can be equipped as 2 working zones with CE safety scanner. The great advantage of scanners is that there are no barriers in the middle of the machine, which makes loading and unloading a lot easier when switching from 2 zones to 1 large working area.
The advantage of having 2 numeric controllers is that when the lenght LX = 18.000 mm:
- You can work in 2 zones 7.500 mm each
- In turn each zone can be spilt up in a left and right zone of 2.500 mm each

MACHINING CENTER ALU-FLEX - Specifications saw unit
- Spindle of the saw unit is 2.2 KW - 2 800 rpm.
- Y-axis Y2 has a programmable speed of 30 m/min.
- Net working height of the profile section during:
- vertical sawing (0°): 200 mm.
- miter sawing (-45°): 100 mm.
- miter sawing (+45°): 120 mm.
- Pneumatic over turning saw unit with 3 positions (-45°/0°/+45°) is standard.
- CNC over turning between -45° ane +45° of the saw unit is optional.
The most efficient working flow for the production of doors and windows
3D-Drawing: Machining Center Alu-Flex - Nesting step by step for doors and windows - Standard available with the Alu-Flex
Explanation of the flow proces (3D - drawing above)
- Select the program of the full bar length manual of with scanning of a barcode.
- The clamps will be automatic set a the correct position.
- Load the full bar length on the machines.
- Start the program, the machine will drill, mill tap the pieces.
- During this fabrication the NC of the machine can:
- Print new lables to identify the new parts when we have a lable printer available.
- Select the next program of the full bar length manual of with scanning of a barcode to check the profile and type of clamps needed. We are able to prepare these matters during proces the current part.
- When mitre cut is requested the machine will cut first all -45° saw cuts and than all +45° saw cuts, when we only need a straight saw cut, the machine cuts this in on time.
- The gantry will park at the end of the program.
- We can now lable the parts and unload the machine.
MACHINING CENTER ALU-FLEX - CLAMPS
MACHINING CENTER ALU-FLEX - Specifications clamps
- The number of clamps can be 12 or 16.
- All our clamps can be split up in a bottom part and a top part.
We can move the clamps in the lenght of the machine in different ways:
- Clamps moved by the X-axis (the column) of the machine (clamp pro clamp)
- Clamps can be moved with an individual servo motor / clamp (all clamps moved simultaneously)
3D drawing: at the left --> CNC moved bottom plate, at the right CNC moved bottom plate with clamp with manual turing system for the width.
We can adjust the clamps in the width of the clamp depending on the width of the work piece:
- Manual modified depending on the width of the workpiece (clamp pro clamp)
- Manual turning system with mechanical counter which adjusts the width of the clamp (clamp pro clamp)
- Automated turning system which adjusts the width of the clamp (clamp pro clamp)
3D drawing: at the left --> X-axis moved bottom plate Clamp, at the righ --> X-axis moved bottom plate Clamp with manual clamp for the width.
MACHINING CENTER ALU-FLEX - SPLITTING BAR SYSTEM
MACHINING CENTER ALU-FLEX - Specifications splitting bar system
- For automated fabrication of curtain walls and door and window pieces where machining on the ends is required, we need to able to separate the work pieces after splitting up so we are able to cut at the ends.
- When the machine is not equipped with CNC positioned clamps (each clamp has is own servo motor) in the length of the machine, we can offer an automated system to separate the work pieces after splitting up.

The most efficient working flow for the production curtain walls or doors and windows part that needs to proces at the ends.
3D-Drawing: Machining Center Alu-Flex - Notching step by step for doors, windows and curtain wall
Explanation of the flow proces (3D - drawing above)
- Select the program of the full bar length manual of with scanning of a barcode.
- The clamps will be automatic set a the correct position.
- Load the full bar length on the machines.
- Start the program, the machine will drill, mill tap the pieces.
- During this fabrication the NC of the machine can:
- Print new lables to identify the new parts when we have a lable printer available.
- Select the next program of the full bar length manual of with scanning of a barcode to check the profile and type of clamps needed. We are able to prepare these matters during proces the current part.
- The machine cuts the full bar lenght in pieces.
- The gantry bar system or the CNC-clamps (each clamp has is own servo motor) will move the parts away from each other.
- Now we are able to cut at the ends and finish the parts.
