TODI & BOYS LTD
Having extensively researched the machinery market, Todi & Boys found various options but none that could be supplied from one manufacturer – or indeed anyone who knew how to produce UK windows and doors!
Todi & Boys was delighted and impressed with IWM & Soukup Machinery’s project approach of supplying window machinery dedicated
to the UK window market complete with Soukup Wincreator software and Soukup tooling designed to effectively manufacture UK casement and sliding sash windows as well as door and joinery requirements with its knock-down component production methodology.
This unique approach revolutionised Todi & Boys’ production. The new installations meant it was able to achieve business ambitions and objectives using the following machines:
• Soukup CNC window centre, model Crafter, a Soukup CNC automatic crosscut, model Crossline 500
• Soukup CNC milling and drilling machine, model Versa DM
• Soukup five-head moulding machine, model GS 5
• Soukup hydraulic frame and sash cramp, model FP 32:21.
All the CNC machines are linked to the Soukup Wincreator software, so all production orders are sent from the office direct to each machine, such as the Soukup crosscut, model Crossline 500, coupled with a label printer which prints all customers’ order details attached to the components throughout the production process on the Soukup Crafter CNC window centre and Soukup milling and drilling, model Versa completing the process for hinges, handles, triple vents etc – all from one Soukup Wincreator software.

WOOD & WISDOM
The company saw the first installation of a CRAFTER machine in the UK. Adam King, owner of the company, says: “This investment has started a complete change from conventional joinery to modern, efficient window production. It´s not a problem, as in the past, to take an order of 50 custom-made windows and make it without any pressure“. The machining center CRAFTER was the first line that used the milling unit for decorative corners on sliding sash windows. Recently, the production has been expanding with new types of mock sash windows, reminding sliding windows with their decoration.

SANDERSON BROTHERS
They use the knock-down system for producing outward opening and sliding windows. The production of sliding windows with their sophisticated and diverse nature using the knock-down system has been particularly successful since this has never previously been achieved using a knock-down system. The WIZARD 4L machining centre using data from WinCreator for the preparation of orders and the tool system ZUANI surprised in their complexity the company owner Ian Sanderson. Employees of the company have quickly got used to the new way of production and use the machine’s capacity to be able to dedicate more time to special products that customers demand from them.
Sanderson brothers have extended their premises this year as they needed more space for a show-room and offices. This created conditions for a new workplace for the preparation of the material. In the new premises, there is an automatic cross-cut saw Crossline 500 and a new filter for central extraction. The main production hall has more space now for better organization of production and assembly of complex contracts.
