Here we go, we are on the brink of Fensterbau, the most important and exciting international trade fair in our industry. The biennial event, taking place in Nuremberg from March 21 to 24, will showcase many new developments in both the window and door sector as well as in machinery and automation.
For this edition, we are also introducing several futuristic innovations, I would even say revolutionary ones, such as cutting and processing profiles at extreme speeds while maintaining flexibility, securing iron reinforcements, and the assembly and fastening of supports using anthropomorphic robots. Additionally, we have perfected welding in the V-Perfect system as well as traditional methods, and finally, we are studying production flow along with the associated logistics.
Let’s start with cutting and working; there are various models available in the GRAF Synergy range to meet any requirement. Ranging from high productivity to non-standard productions. This year, we will introduce the new FAB CUT-3BS. The name clearly indicates Fab-Processing, Cut-Cutting, 3 number of blades, speed-high speed. This machine is among the fastest on the market while maintaining maximum flexibility, capable of processing any profile for window frames.
Let’s move on to securing the iron reinforcement, and we’ll present two solutions. The first is absolutely revolutionary; we’ll give you a sneak peek of what the future holds: we secure the reinforcement without using screws (patent pending). Oops, we’ll leave some room for curiosity and look forward to presenting it with a live demonstration. The process is revolutionary and verified!
The second process we are presenting is our electric screw driving system instead of pneumatic ones, with motors integrated into the ASG iron processing centre, where we can secure three screws in 1.5 seconds instead of the current 12 seconds. This makes our profile processing centre with reinforcement the most compact and fastest available on the market today. We would be delighted to demonstrate it to you at our stand.
To complete the process for single-piece cut profiles, we present our solution for automatic fixture assembly. It will be groundbreaking to see the introduction of a humanoid robot in our industry to handle various types of fixtures at incredibly high speeds.
The state of the art in welding is essential, as our welding system continues to evolve. With our SL4-FF EVO welder, we have truly achieved perfection. There are no limits to the profiles and systems that can be welded, whether they are made from wood, aluminium, fibreglass, acrylic, coloured, or printed materials. Thanks to our welder, profile manufacturers have been able to create new systems that enhance PVC frames, which would otherwise not be possible. Every day, over 20,000 frames are produced using our welders. Our welder transforms the concept of productivity, leading to increased sales of profiles, even for systems like aluminium or wood.
The machine at the fair will be connected to a unit that performs hinge drilling in zero cycle time after welding, with absolute precision.
Another topic is the management costs between conventional welding systems and our technology. When you consider consumables and labour, using one of our welding machines can save you up to €35,000 a year.
We will be available for a demonstration of any of the previously mentioned profile variants!
For start-ups or traditional systems, we offer a high-quality line featuring demonstrations on welding and polishing. The corners and seals will have a high-quality joint without the use of sealant tapes that never achieve great results.
As mentioned in the preface, for several years now, GRAF Synergy has positioned itself as a provider of complete turnkey production systems. Due to space limitations, we were unable to bring shuttles and warehouses to the fair, but our logistics experts will be present to showcase layouts and videos of entire lines.
