‘The THORWESTEN’ – Our Profile Machining Centre

You build windows and doors – we build machines that transform your workshop into a hub of efficiency and profitability. Our Profile Machining Centre PBZ optimises your profiling work-flows. All steps in the profile machining sequence are completed in one pass: milling, drilling and screwing together. The centrepiece of the system is the rotary tool drum which can be freely positioned so as to enable the scanned profile to undergo all working steps with precision and ensure that it can be removed from the outfeed magazine fully machined. Thanks to years’ worth of experience we are continually developing new time- and cost-saving details, meaning that with this model you can process window and outer door profiles with state of the art methods.

The Profile Machining Centre has a modular and clear design. Less space requirement, easy maintenance and good accessibility from all sides are just some of the key features. During the production process all that is required is for the profile bar to be identified by the integrated scanner and verified once it has been loaded. On the full-HD operating panel you receive on-screen guidance in your language with easy-to-understand menus.

The Profile Machining Centre stands for efficiency in manufacture. Our all-round genius system enables the versatile processing of plastic profiles in all standard profile lengths – both in window and outer door production. Whether optimised on the basis of a program, where necessary a mixture of programs, profiles or orders, commissions or for individual items: with the freely-programmable tong position any profile cross-section can be processed without any time needed for retooling. The only other task is to load and remove the profile – the profile is transported automatically via a infeed magazine and an outfeed magazine – that and selecting the profile data via a scanner. Profile identification guarantees a precision execution of the defined processing steps. The speeds are individually configurable.
