Tekna 743 profile cutting machine tackles aluminium, steel, stainless steel or titanium panels

The Emmegi Tekna 743 vacuum clamping 3-axis machining centre has a 6,400 by 2,000 mm worktable featuring vacuum technology to hold panels and provide a dust- and chip-free environment for the working of even very thin materials, including composite, aluminium, steel, stainless steel or titanium panels. They are said to be ideal for companies working in the automotive and aerospace sectors.

The the 3-axis machine features an on-board 12- or 19-tool magazine that services the 10 kW, 24,000 rpm spindle. The whole of the worktable on the Tekna 743 machine is coated with an air-porous Forex material that conceals the vacuum system underneath and distributes suction evenly across the whole table or across pre-defined sections, depending on the size of panel being machined. It also absorbs vibrations to create a robust and stable work area.

Italian firm Tekna was last year purchased by fellow Italian operation Emmegi and in the UK, Tekna machines are supplied through Emmegi (UK), Coventry.

Emmegi (UK) is part of one of the world’s leading manufacturers of systems for machining aluminium, PVC, iron and steel profiles. Founded in 1970 near Modena in Italy, the company now produces a comprehensive range of machines and ancillary equipment at factories both in Italy and China, and has sales operations in more than 50 countries worldwide.
