Emmegi has supplied and installed a second Someco machine for Mahon Windows, further strengthening the Irish fabricator’s PVC-U manufacturing capacity and automation capabilities.

Mahon Windows had previously invested in an Emmegi Phantomatic M3 and a Someco 4TVH in-line welder, both supplied and commissioned by Emmegi’s specialist Irish sales and engineering team. Following the performance of those systems, the company selected the Someco SBZ SM11 CNC sawing and machining centre to support increasing production demands and future expansion plans.

Located in Athlone, Mahon Windows operates across both trade and commercial sectors, with a focus on precision fabrication and consistent production quality. According to James O’Connell, Emmegi’s Sales Manager for Ireland, the SBZ SM11 was identified as the ideal solution due to its advanced automation features and compatibility with Mahon’s existing Someco welding systems.

The SBZ SM11 is a 13-axis CNC machining centre designed for milling, cutting, and welding preparation of PVC profiles. The system incorporates a through-feed bar design for continuous high-speed processing, profile verification technology, and eleven electrospindles capable of machining all sides of the profile. It also features an integrated contouring module optimised for Seamless® welding preparation.

The machine was linked to Forterro’s Evolution manufacturing software, enabling Industry 4.0-ready production tracking and remote diagnostics functionality.
