Hotel Conversion Makes The News With ALPHACAM
Summary
HOLZ-HER says ALPHACAM is the industry “Go-To” CAM package A bespoke traditional joinery company operating at the high end of the woodworking market has recently been involved in a major conversion project, turning the former offices of the Coventry Telegraph newspaper into a luxury 1970s themed hotel. LOL Summers Joinery Ltd.’s work on the conversion included slotted headboards, panelling, bedside tables and wardrobes in 88 bedrooms, along with seating in ten areas, and fittings for two bars and reception. While Summers Joinery was contracted for the hotel conversion, 5-Axis Routing provided all CNC aspects for their component parts, and drawing elements for approval. “Prior to investing in ALPHACAM we programmed the router with its proprietary software, which is excellent at what it does, but was too simplistic for our bespoke needs.” The company has an experienced ALPHACAM programmer in Alex McCann, who uses its Automation Manager function to work on solid models from Autodesk Inventor, and automate processes through its range of advanced tools, including machining styles. We’re providing a complete solution, including software, training, and service back-up to remove the company’s pain and challenges, and deliver their goals in terms of quality, productivity, longevity, reliability, and return on investment.” In Lee Summers’ case, those challenges had been customers demanding higher quality parts with increasingly faster turnaround times.
