Machinery for processing aluminium profiles
Aluminium windows need very accurate cuts, machining for hardware and mechanical corner assembly. Below are the LGF machines for each step, in the order the profile moves through the workshop.

| Step | What is done | Suitable LGF machines |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Cutting | Cutting bars at 90° and 45° (or compound angles) | double-head saws or single-head saws |
| 2. Machining | Holes and cut-outs for hardware, locks, handles, drainage | CNC centres or copy routers |
| 3. End milling | Shaping the transom end for the T-joint | end milling machines (Derna, Star, Dixi, Lola) |
| 4. Assembly | Crimping corners with aluminium cleats | crimping machines (Hermes, Scriba) |
| 5. Logistics | Supporting bars, measuring, cleaning | roller conveyors, chip extractors |
Cutting
For aluminium, the double-head saw changes the pace of the workshop: it cuts both ends of the bar in one pass, at the exact length entered on screen.
Urania
CNC double mitre saw for compound cuts
- Pneumatic tilting of the sawing group from 90 ° to -45° with possibility of manual setting of intermediate degrees
- Heads manual rotation with pneumatic indexe at 45°/90°/-45°
- 3 Kw (4 HP) 3 phase motors – 2800 r.p.m.
Gamma Digit
Electronic double mitre saw
- Pneumatic heads tilting at 90° a + 45°
- Possibility to mount sawblades Ø 500 – 530 – 550 mm
- Sawblade shaft Ø 30 mm
Atlas Digit / Atlas MX
Electronic and manual double mitre saw
- Pneumatic heads tilting by means of a selector at 90° a + 45°
- Pneumatic heads tilting at 90° a + 45°
- 1,5 Kw (2 HP) 3 phase motor – 2800 r.p.m.
CNC machining
A machining centre makes every hole and slot on the same bar, without templates and without moving the part between machines.
Orion
CNC machining centre
- Work processing from 0° to 180° and intermediate degrees by means of spindle rotation
- 5,5 kw (7,5 HP) electro-spindle with cone type ISO 30 – 12000 r.p.m.
- X axis stroke (length) = 4000/7000 mm
Phoenix
CNC machining centre
- Rotation of the work bench at 90°, 0°, -90°
- 5,5 Kw (7,5 HP) electro-spindle with cone type ISO 30 – 12000 r.p.m.
- X axis lengths 2500/3000/4000 mm
End milling and assembly
Star M / Star A
End milling machine with large capacity
- Cutter block shaft Ø 32 mm
- Horizontal shaft stroke 400 mm
- Cutter blocks max. Ø 160 mm
Derna
End milling machine with large capacity
- Three-phase motor 1,1 Kw (1,5 HP) – 2800 rpm
- Cutter shaft Ø 32 mm
- Shaft horizontal stroke 570mm
Hermes
Pneumatic crimping machine for corners junction
- Punches stroke 12 mm
- Backing block stroke 120 mm
Which machine should I buy first for an aluminium workshop?
Usually a double-head saw or, to start with, a single-head saw. Without accurate cutting, nothing else can be done correctly. Machining can start on a copy router, and a CNC centre comes when volume grows.
What compressed air is needed?
LGF pneumatic machines work at 7 bar, according to the data sheets. The required air flow differs from model to model.
