AMADA PROVIDES LIGHT RELIEF AT DEXTRA

摘要

At Dextra we have always looked to invest in the company's future by adopting the very latest technology. We are the largest privately-owned luminaire manufacturer in the UK and as a matter of principle we have no machines at our facility in Gillingham, Dorset older than seven years. We work two shifts a day plus some overtime so after seven years our machines have worked pretty hard. The latest machines facing recent replacement were our range of Amada HFE press brakes. We have used Amada equipment at Dextra for a number of years and although the HFE models had served us well, machine tool technology moves on so fast. We knew that upgrading to the latest Amada HFP models would help reduce set-up times, principally through the use of more advanced software and a bend angle measuring system to assess fold accuracy and transmit any necessary adjustments to the Amada AMNC-PC control.
