Machining

Machining centers handle the drilling, milling, tapping, and cutting that flat fabrication cannot. Built for profile work, they take an extrusion in raw and send it out finished in a single automated setup, with the accuracy that windows, doors, automotive, aerospace, and industrial profiles demand.

Buyer Guidance

How to Choose

Start with what the machine is built to cut. Mecal designs its machining centers for extruded aluminum, light alloy, PVC, and light steel, serving windows and doors, automotive, aerospace, and industrial profile work. A CNC machining center drills, mills, taps, and cuts in a single automated setup, so a profile goes in raw and comes out finished without rehandling.

When throughput drives the buy, speed matters. Mecal's MC 307 Falcon runs on average 30% faster than its nearest rivals, with X axis speed of 150m/min, which turns into more finished parts per shift. Size the machining center to your profile length and your volume, and the cycle time pays you back every day.

Choose a CNC machining center when your profiles need more than a cut: drilling, milling, tapping, and cutting together, held to tight tolerance, repeated part after part. That is the work a machining center does in one setup that would otherwise take several machines and several handlings.
