• Rapid manufacture of ducting components.
• Simple or complex shapes produced with ease.
• Reduced production cycle times.
• Increased flexibility.

Using our Ductmaker Series of routers and our specifically designed enclosed automatic tool changer, V grooving and cutting the panel shape can be done in one process, giving massive savings in all aspects.

Our automated technology takes out the labour intensive work traditionally required for duct panel production and removes the need for marking out, creating templates or using hand held tooling for cutting.

Other applications include: routing and V-grooving aluminium-polymer composite materials, routing aluminium grilles and diffusers, cutting galvanised sheet metal, cutting aluminium louvers for air conditioning and architectural applications using sheet metal products.

Key benefits of the Ductmaker System

- Complicated panels made easy
- No second cuts
- No mistakes
- Panels come off machine perfect, ready for joining
- Any shape, curves angle or straight
- Complete Dust Removal

Using the Multicam Ductmaker router system for processing phenolic foam duct could not be more simple, taking out all the labour intensive work required and removes the need for marking out, creating templates or using Jack Planes.

The manual construction of a pre-insulated Duct follows a standardised procedure. The process is the same regardless of the shape of the duct element; tracing, cutting, gluing, folding, taping, flanging and reinforcement; and sealing.

Tracing evolves using one of a number of many purpose made templates and scribing an outline.

Cutting and grooving is done with a variety of specially made jack planes.

Glue is applied to all mitred surfaces with a curing time of 10-20 minutes.

The stages of the fabrication process are very labour intensive and time consuming, do not always give a good end product and create a great deal of waste material.

Our Ductmaker software comes with an extensive parametric library of ducting components allowing full control of the panel configuration and dimensions. All panels can be nested to maximise sheet usage and reduce material cost.

A simple click of the mouse transforms the nested files directly to the Multicam Ductmaker ready for processing. Once the machine receives the program the components are then produced exactly to specification whether it is a simple "one off" or mass production.
