In the electricity industry there is a lot of drilling, milling and sawing to be done. Making of electricity cabinets for example is not only time-consuming, tedious and on top of it a unhealthy job. Next to this drilling holes in switch-boards or the engraving of name-plates and signalisation panels are standard jobs in the electricity industry.
Because of the specific needs of this sector Colinbus has manufactured special machines on which cabinets can be clamped in order to mill and drill the different sides of these cabinets. But with these same machines one can also engrave signalisation panels or mill flat panels. A rather small investment makes you save a lot of extra time. You not only take care of your own health and of that of your employees but what once took a full days’ work can now be done in less than one hour and with an even better result.

Machines as well as software are easy-to-operate. Operating machines should not be the electricians’ main task a lot of effort has been put into making things simple and easy.

Frequently used patterns are available through the libraries that can be easily modified by the user. Designing holes and slots can either be done in the software that goes with the machines or in the customer’s own CAD software. Because importing text or designs is easy and fast engraving text only takes a few minutes. For the more experienced user it is good to know that the integrated software is not only easy-to-operate but that is powerful as well and that it has a lot of possibilities and interesting features.

The answer to this question depends on the kind of work you want to perform with the machine. Standard type machines are the first choice when only flat panels are worked with. The exact model to choose then depends on the kind of material and the size of it. In the electricity industry mostly CLR and CMR machines are used. The machines with open front (in order to clamp the cabinets onto the table) are based on these two types. They also have been equipped with 2 motors in the Y-axis (one left and one right). This way there is free space available for devices (for example a switch-board) because there is no central driver spindle. On special demand this opening can be enlarged if extra large devices need to be handled.
