MiTek’s expanding range of machinery in structural timber engineering keeps us at the forefront of construction. Here’s what that means for you.
A resilient UK construction sector is boosting confidence and championing sustainability as we make our way into 2023.
Here’s how we’re helping you streamline your work and give your customers more than ever.
Are you equipped for tomorrow’s workload?
We’re seeing strong demand for machinery that helps manufacturers automate key processes and unlock ever greater efficiencies.
Mark 1 Easyjig
The Mark 1 Press with Easyjig Tables with Virtek lasers lets you set the outline of a truss in under 45 seconds. It lets you position plates with far greater accuracy. As a result, you’re making better quality roof trusses and saving about 40 minutes per average setup.
After introducing this technology to the UK in 2019, we’ve broadened horizons to provide custom walk through table sizing from 16-36m long. With expert support at every step, you can get the machinery that’s right for your workspace.
“The Mark 1 Easyjig with lasers ensures a faster set up and more accurate timber and plate positioning for superior manufactured components. It’s the latest of many MiTek machines we use to automate and optimise our processes, and part of our ongoing investment in new machinery and partnership with MiTek.
“The more we can automate, the better. With the new machinery installed, we’re taking all those opportunities to be more efficient and turning them into business results.”
Ed Kirk, Operations and Innovation Director, Crendon Timber Engineering Ltd
Virtek Lasers
The Mark 1 Easyjig, as well as all our table presses and pedestal systems, can be used with Virtek lasers. Improve your accuracy, boost your production quality, cut your margin for error. Virtek is the expert’s choice for making complicated truss setups easier.
We’ve installed over 100 projectors since 2019, so we’re used to tailoring our work to your existing system. This is a flexible, versatile, powerful addition to your toolkit.
Easy-Cut 4 saw
New on the market only last year, the Easy-Cut 4 is already transforming work environments across the UK. Better enclosure to contain dust, user-friendly controls, total dependability. This power-assisted four-blade component saw gives you what your customers need.
Acting as a quantity cutting saw, it lets you cut up to four angles on a piece of timber. LCD readouts at two control panels ensure unrivalled precision.
800 Plus saw
A truly advanced single-blade saw with three or four-axis control, and the option of a printer. Speed up production with optimization and improve the quality of your output and reduce waste. The 800 Plus is also compatible with MiTek design software.
At a time when the market is moving towards automation, machinery like this keeps you ahead of the game. Timber is driven through the saw, not pushed. Optimization Vertical and horizontal clamps ensure a tight grip on materials, and the closest cut possible.
Raising service standards
We’re also constantly searching for new ways to give our customers a more in-depth service. Once your new machinery is installed, rely on us for:
- Servicing
- Repairs and breakdowns
- Remote support and advice
- Training
- New machine installation
- Spare parts
Meanwhile, Posi-Joist is now the product of choice for specifiers all over the UK, prompting us to expand our capacity. With such a massive mix of software, machinery, products, systems and expertise under one roof to help you Design, Make, Build, we can’t wait to hear what you need for your next big project.
