FIT SHOW 2022 PREVIEW
A new level of automation
As the countdown to FIT 2022 builds , Dave Thomas , Chief Executive Officer of machinery experts Haffner Ltd discusses why stand H21 is a must-visit for fabricators looking to bring a new level of automation into their businesses .
The benefits of automated fabrication have always been clear . Automation can boost both productivity and efficiency on the factory floor and deliver a new level of consistent product quality every time . It also allows fabricators to scale up or down their production output as fluctuating demand dictates .
Having said that , until recently , there have been limited machinery options in the manufacture of windows that are genuinely unique to the British market ; the concept of reverse butt welding and casement windows setting us apart from our European neighbours . As a result , machine innovation has needed to evolve , underpinned by the desire to do more with less but ultimately deliver the best in fabrication quality to support today ’ s consumers .
This is evident with the evolution of seamless welding technology for fusing together PVC-U frames . This new technology allows fabricators to produce next-level quality to satisfy the growing demand for premium-end products .
Technological advancement and machine innovation are the cornerstones of Haffner ’ s commitment to ensuring that our machines are the best the industry has to offer when it comes to delivering premium products . And the machines from our exclusive supply partner with Graf Synergy are perfect examples .
The range of machines available from Graf Synergy is exceptional and offers state-of-the-art automation at every level for both aluminium and PVC-U fabrication . They are probably best known for their world-class seamless welding technology
and patented V-Perfect Technology welding techniques that deliver superior product quality . And with the increasing demand from the domestic sector for highend products , having seamless welding technology in your manufacturing is crucial to deliver on the high-end cosmetic detailing consumers now demand and to gain a competitive business edge .
Graf Synergy machines are the next generation of machinery and are capable of V , butt and cruciform welding , creating a fully seamless welded frame solution . They also allow fabricators to work with all types of coloured and foiled products producing a perfect , seamless weld .
Graf Synergy ’ s range offers solutions for fabricators of all sizes . The machines are ideal for the manufacture of popular highend products such as flush casements or sash windows but equally appropriate for high volume casement output delivering the next level of automation throughout the entire fabrication process .
The range of Graf machines will be on show at the Haffner stand at FIT 2022 . Our 610 sqm stand , the largest in FIT Show ’ s history , is a must-visit for any fabricator and will be the first ever fully seamless machinery stand in the UK allowing potential customers to discover the next level of fabrication .
But the Graf Synergy range is only the start of what Haffner ’ s stand will have to offer . We will also be showcasing the largest and most comprehensive machine portfolio in the industry that makes us a go-to supplier for fabricators of all sizes . This includes a range of machinery from Haffner , who design innovative and high-quality engineered products at competitive industry prices . We will also show a range of aluminium fabrication machines from FOM Industrie , who hold an international reputation for quality machinery that combines the latest technology with skilled engineering and competitive prices .
Our talented sales and technical team will also be on hand throughout the three days to answer any questions and demonstrate the machines ’ capabilities .
This year ’ s FIT Show is probably the most eagerly anticipated ever because it marks the return of face-to-face exhibitions . We look forward to welcoming customers old and new to our stand and showing them exactly how Haffner can help them take their manufacturing to the next level with the new generation of automation .
