The Elumatec KF 178 is a milling machine — sometimes referred to as a profile milling unit — designed for the precision machining of profiles, typically aluminium sections and similar materials used in window, door, and façade fabrication. Elumatec is a well-established German manufacturer specialising in machinery for processing aluminium, PVC, and steel profiles, serving the fenestration and architectural metalwork industries worldwide.
The machine's milling area, working against a stop and copy template, measures 240 × 85 mm, giving a practical working envelope for a range of profile cross-sections. The front stroke is 95 mm and the rear stroke 45 mm, defining the travel available during the milling cycle. The spindle runs at 12,000 rpm, a speed suited to clean, accurate cutting of light metal and plastic profiles. The clamping range for profiles is 115 × 100 mm.
Electrical connection is 230/400 V, three-phase, 50 Hz, with each motor rated at 0.74 kW output. Pneumatic operation requires a compressed air supply at 7 bar; air consumption per working cycle is 12 litres without spraying and 24 litres with spraying, indicating the machine supports a coolant or lubricant spray function during cutting.
The machine's footprint is 980 mm long by 1,250 mm deep, with an overall height of 1,610 mm. It weighs 360 kg. This is a used example from 2001, located in Poland, offered at $6,700.
