This is a picture of the new Quadra L1 that will be arriving next week from Italy.  This is actually the company’s 4th Quadra.  We have one in Fremont at Shop A, one in Arizona and one in Seattle.  We are putting this new quadra in our Shop B where we do most of our unitized curtain wall fabrication and assembly.

We have our first machine, The Planet, in Shop B also.  While the Quadra is an exceptional piece of equipment, the Planet is much more versatile.  The Quadra can not do compound miters and has some limits to what size of extrusions can be run through it.  It also has some length restrictions.

For the parts that work well with the Quadra, it is very efficient and easy to run.  I still think the Planet makes the best first investment.  We could never have fabricated the LAX project with anything else.  Once you have your feet wet, this machine is awesome.
