Camberwell College of Art

Camberwell is a constituent college of the University of the Arts London, and is regarded as one of the UK’s foremost art and design institutions.

Maxicam has supplied them with a Maxi M2-1325 for their prototypes.

This installation was tricky  due to a narrow passage. The Maxicam engineers, along with our specialised machine movers, dismantled the machine and put in its side to fit in the tight doorway, as can be seen in the below photos.

REDDITCH FAN MANUFACTURER RELY ON MAXICAM M3-1530

Central Fans Colasit Ltd formed in 1987 has become the UK’s largest specialist designer and manufacturer of Plastic Corrosion Resistant Fans of all types. Based from its manufacturing and design HQ in Redditch, Worcs they manufacture a large range of corrosion resistant fans from materials such as PVC, Polypropylene, and PVDF. The company uses a high speed Maxicam M3 CNC router with 8 position tool changer to CNC the range with extremely high tolerances which enables the skilled technicians to assemble the units with a perfect degree of accuracy before plastic welding the seams of the units. With most of the fans a raw edge is visible so it was imperative the edges were smooth and circular apertures were perfectly round, the M3 delivers with precision, reliability and speed.

“Our old twin head CNC router was starting to let us down and we knew we needed to invest in a new bit of kit. After the demos and quotes were received we had a good feeling about the Maxicam offering, we felt it would give us the peace of mind we required as a single machine owner integrating the CNC system in to a just in time manufacturing process. Reliability and performance were keys areas for consideration and we certainly felt the build quality, superior components and level of service were spot on” Dave Cole – Works Director

“The machine has allowed us to speed up the manufacturing process on all jobs and now allows us to have more control over each job as before we had to sub-contract the CNC work out to other local companies.

It has also allowed us to take on supply only jobs including machining various retro arcade / gaming machines.  They are machined in plain MDF and Melamine MDF finishes.  These have been constant weekly orders for us since the machine has been up and running.  These types of jobs would never have been possible for us before we had the machine. “
