The Level 2 Package introduces smart, precise automation exactly where your shop floor needs it most. Growing mid-sized shops ready to eliminate manual routing bottlenecks, slash labor hours, and scale up daily contract volume. As your order volume grows, relying on manual layout and copy routing becomes your primary operational bottleneck.
By upgrading your routing workflow to an automated CNC interface, you can double or triple your daily output while guaranteeing accurate consistency across every single storefront unit.
Level 2 Machinery Package
Cutting Saw
Meteor 420 Upcut Saw
The Meteor 420 Upcut Saw is engineered to handle the thick, heavy-walled aluminum profiles unique to commercial storefronts, the Meteor 420 combines a 420mm (16-inch) hydro-pneumatic rising blade and pneumatic clamping to deliver the safe, single-pass cutting precision required for perfectly square, zero-gap frame joints. It replaces guesswork with perfect cuts, making your frame assembly faster and completely airtight.
End milling Machine
Polar IV End Milling
The Polar IV End Milling Machine is indispensable for machining storefront glazing legs, which must be precisely notched. Instead of slow, inaccurate manual back-cutting, the Polar IV clean-mills the glazing leg at a perfect 90° angle. With its quick-change cutter stacks, operators can instantly switch between different storefront profile depths without costly downtime, dramatically speeding up frame assembly while ensuring structural integrity.
Hardware Preparation
Garnet Mini CNC Machine
The compact Garnet Mini 3-axis CNC machining center completely replaces manual copy routing. Featuring a programmable interface, it handles complex hardware preps, multi-side machining, and high-speed routing automatically. Simply load the profile, select the program, and let the machine do the work.
Profile Punching
Air Press Punching
Air Press Integration complements your CNC workflow by offloading rapid, high-volume repetitive punching tasks to an instant pneumatic press, keeping your CNC free for complex geometric routing.

Dedicated Storefront & Architectural Expertise
The Reality: Generic machinery forces your operators to constantly fight tool deflection, poor finishes, and slow cycle times on heavy commercial shapes.
Our Approach: We don’t sell "one-size-fits-all" machinery. Every upcut saw, end mill, and CNC center in our catalog is specifically selected, geared, and rigidly engineered to process heavy-walled architectural aluminum and complex storefront extrusions. We speak your language from shear blocks and glazing legs to deep pocket profiles.

Fully Synchronized, Turnkey Systems
The Reality: Buying a saw from one vendor, a copy router from another, and die sets from a third creates an integration nightmare, causing weeks of costly production delays.
Our Approach: We engineer complete, unified production ecosystems. From the precise tooth count on your Meteor 420 blade to the custom-machined pneumatic dies in your Air Press, our components are designed to work together flawlessly. Your profiles flow seamlessly from cutting to milling, punching, and final assembly.
