Almost 25 years to the day after it took delivery of its first Emmegi Classic Linea double mitre saw, Carmarthenshire-based Nolan UPVC has become the first company in the UK to have the newest version of the Emmegi Classic installed – the Classic ‘E’.
As the name suggests, the Classic ‘E’ features some significant electronic upgrades – with a totally new sliding controls interface, a faster, soft touch panel unit, more menu options and upgraded network capability to speed up loading times between the machine and any external programming source. There is also a new ‘closed loop’ electronic measuring system which ensures that the saw always knows its absolute position without the need for start-up/referencing.
For Nolan UPVC, it’s an upgrade to a machine which has delivered outstanding service since 1999. Jason James, the company’s Managing Director, said: “Our original Emmegi Classic Linea manual double mitre saw has hardly missed a beat in 25 years. It continues to be a fantastic workhorse in our factory and has delivered exactly the kind of quality and durability which you would associate with the Emmegi brand.
“When it came to choosing a replacement, the Classic ‘E’ was the obvious choice, and we’re delighted with the cutting performance it is delivering for our extensive aluminium range”
Alongside the new control interface which makes it easy for operators to load cutting lists and dxf information, Nolan specified its new Emmegi Classic ‘E’ with an optional digital angle display which lets operators see and set cutting angles to an even higher degree of accuracy. They also added the new profile height gauge which means the saw can measure any discrepancy in the profile thicknesses being cut and automatically compensate for that.
Martin Linnell, Emmegi’s Sales Manager, commented: “Customers like Nolan appreciate the quality and value that we offer right across our range of single and double head saws. They recognise that the payback on a machine with a useful service life of more than 30 years is phenomenal, and we get lots of repeat business as a result – even if it is many years later!”
Nolan’s new Emmegi Classic ‘E’ was one of the first machines in the UK to be supplied in Emmegi’s distinctive new darker grey livery.
