With the update to ventilation regulations (Part F) due to come into effect in June, Haffner has launched its new MAC 145 Night Vent Router. Dave Thomas, Haffner’s CEP, explained: “With the change to regulations as part of the governments’ Future Home Standard, we have launched our new MAC 145 Night Vent Router to allow single or double routing on both PVC-U and aluminium profiles. This new, innovative, twin-motor machine will support fabricators routing profiles for trickle and night vents as they work to achieve the updated Part F ventilation requirements.”
The new machine incorporates an intelligent barcode scanner which quickly reads and sets the machine for accurate single or double routing. The CNC machine is controlled by a Beckhoff system and offers a 2.5 metre maximum routing capacity. Further, the machine is capable of routing both sides in one automated operation, to further improve manufacturing efficiencies and routing accuracy.
Dave said: “The speed at which we have developed and bought the machine to market is nothing less than incredible, and demonstrates the strength and capability of our design and manufacturing teams.” The machine will be one of a large selection of fabrication machinery on show at the Fit Show exhibition in May.
Haffner recently increased its Fit Show stand space to a record 610m², to showcase a vast range of machines that are designed to help fabricators at every level. The business aims for its stand to be be the first ever fully seamless machinery stand in the UK, as it will showcase the complete Graf Synergy range, as well as machinery from both Haffner and FOM ranges.
“As a business, we pride ourselves on offering the largest machinery range to help fabricators of all sizes and solve their day-to-day problems,” Dave added. “The amendments to Part F have caught many fabricators by surprise. But the new MAC 145 Night Vent Router is a machine that will help them to accurately deliver this new requirement, as well as free up capacity on their existing machining centres.”
