Sternfenster Further Invests in Automation with New Machinery
Sternfenster, one of the UK’s leading trade fabricators, has continued to strengthen its production capabilities with the installation of a new welder and cleaner, from Urban.
Urban’s state-of-the-art AKS6600 eight-head welding machine and SV 800 CNC corner cleaning machines were expertly installed by Total Machining Solutions (TMS Ltd), cementing Sternfenster’s commitment to delivering quality, efficiency, and precision to its customers.
“This investment is a game-changer for our production process” said Shaun Cannon, Sternfenster Production Manager. “The precision and efficiency of this new machinery means our customers receive an even higher standard of product, with perfectly finished corners and flawless gaskets.
“And the support from Urban and TMS Ltd throughout the entire process has been outstanding.
“As we continue to grow in our 51st year in business, this investment ensures that we stay ahead of the competition and deliver the best products to our customers.”
The Urban AKS6600 welder sets new standards for accuracy and efficiency; with welding bead limitations as precise as 0.2 mm, it ensures cleaner, stronger welds. And thanks to its precision welding capabilities, it delivers strong, clean, and consistent corner joints that enhance durability and appearance; this means fewer service calls, easier installations, and a flawless finish.
Additionally, its ability to weld with the protective foil in place enhances manufacturing efficiency while protecting the frame from any scratches or damage.
Meanwhile, the SV 800 CNC corner cleaner automates post-welding processing with pinpoint precision, removing excess material. This results in a margin-enhancing flawless finish for customers.
This latest enhancement comes as Sternfenster posted an impressive 22% increase in its customer base in 2024, following the launch of its innovative EasyAdmin+ software.
The result of a two-year investment programme, EasyAdmin+ is a cloud-based software that helps window installers design professional quotes, track and manage leads, and have full control over the production and delivery process. This create new business, reduces errors, and maximises profits for Sternfenster installers.
