Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: Can I use this machine for insulated shutter profiles?
A: Yes. The machine can be designed to handle insulated or double-skin profiles depending on your production requirements.

Q: What kind of control system is included?
A: A modern PLC system with touchscreen interface is included, allowing for recipe-based control, fault detection, and manual/auto operation.

Q: How long is the lead time?
A: Manufacturing usually takes 30–60 days, and shipping depends on your specific UK location.

Q: What if I need a punching or perforation system?
A: We can include integrated hydraulic punching modules based on your shutter door design—ventilation holes, light slots, branding, etc.

Q: Do I need special training to run the machine?
A: Basic machine operation is straightforward. A full operating manual is included, and remote training or on-site commissioning is available.

Q: What is the difference between this and a garage door machine?
A: While both machines can form door profiles, this machine is optimised for rolling shutters with tighter profiles and optional curved edges, whereas garage door panel machines typically create large, sectional panel shapes.
