MACHINERY Fabrication machinery giant fits show into 2021 schedule » HAFFNER MURAT HAS just announced it will be exhibiting at the FIT Show 2021, which will be held 25-27 May 2021 at the NEC Birmingham. Dave Thomas, Managing Director of Haffner Murat, said: “I’m delighted to be announcing we’ll have a presence at FIT 2021. Like everyone in the industry, I was disappointed when FIT 2020 was postponed, but in hindsight it was the right decision. I’m already looking forward to welcoming people to our stand next year and showing them what Haffner Murat has to offer.” FIT Show 2021 is the UK’s only dedicated event for the window, door, flat glass and components market. It attracts systems houses, fabricators, installers, architects and specifiers who come to browse the latest products, machinery and software. It also offers exceptional networking opportunities and a full programme of CIPDapproved learning. Haffner Murat supplies and services a wide range of automation machinery from Haffner, Italmac and Fom Industrie. A selection of the machines will be on display at its stand at FIT 2021, all of which drive quality and efficiency across the factory floor. Headline fabrication machinery includes the SMR-5 PVC-U Welder, which welds four squares in less than a minute and five H welds in less than four minutes. The FA 537 Heritage Double Sided End Milling Machine mills two joints in one operation, dramatically speeding up the production process. And for the aluminium sector, the AL220/70 Aluminium Profile Machining Centre carries out all sawing, milling, drilling and marking operations on aluminium profiles. Dave concluded: “I’m looking forward to showing people what our machines have to offer working in the new normal, as well as some exciting new advances. The FIT Show is a vital opportunity to showcase innovation and product development. After a difficult year for everyone this year, I have no doubt FIT 2021 will be the biggest and best yet.” www.haffnermurat.com NEW PARTS AND CONSUMABLES CATALOGUE & ENGINEERING TEAM ‘BACK IN ACTION’ » TO COINCIDE WITH THE RETURN to work for many, Emmegi (UK) has just published its own spare parts and consumables catalogue to make it easier for customers to order the right products for their machinery and production areas. Emmegi (UK) is also reassuring customers that its engineering team is back in action, ready to help them get their manufacturing operations up and running again. Service and Operations Manager Wayne Hunter says that he doesn’t anticipate there being any issues when machines are turned back on, but that the team is on hand to help anyone who encounters any kind of problem. He says: “We’re answering as many questions as we can on the phone, and we still have all our remote resources in place so that we can log in and see customers’ machine set-ups. However, our engineering team are very much available to make service, plus customers might decide that this is a good time to get their machines serviced anyway. We recruited an additional engineer at the start of the lockdown to look after customers in South Wales and the South West, bringing our team up to seven across the UK and Ireland.” Meanwhile, the 22-page catalogue includes everything from saw blades, router cutters and counterblocks to oils, pneumatic equipment and hand tools, as well as Emmegi’s popular range of trolleys, tables and assembly benches. Many of the items are held in stock at Emmegi (UK)’s Coventry warehouse or are available on fast lead times via Emmegi in Italy. Machine specific spare parts in the catalogue are clearly marked so that customers can easily identify the right part for their particular machine, and there are part numbers, sizes and prices listed for every item included. Wayne added: “Choosing the right parts, tools and consumables can really make a difference to the performance of any machine and the overall quality of the output, so it’s certainly a false economy to try and cut corners. We want to encourage all of our customers to buy genuine parts from us and we hope this smart, simple guide will help them do just that.” www.emmegi.com 62 » JUL 2020 » CLEARVIEW-UK.COM
