October 2015

As part of our ongoing commitment to remain at the forefront of the aluminium extrusion market, Capalex has invested in additional machining equipment. In order to satisfy the increasing demand from our customers for longer extrusion components, Capalex has purchased a new Haas VF­9 vertical machining centre. The VF­9 offers a high degree of ruggedness and reliability, whilst at the same time being able to machine products to a high level of accuracy, precision, and consistency. The VF­9 features a 40 taper cartridge spindle powered by a 30hp vector Dual­Drive. The larger size of the VF­9 will give us the ability to produce parts that require multiple operations on our current machines in a single run. This allows us to produce complex components in less time than we could previously, and also frees up our current machines allowing us to machine more components at any given time.
