Features

Material Marking by Means of a Milling Tool on the Drill Head
- Application of reference boundaries for welding add-on pieces
- DSTV-Data import
- Use of high-speed carbide tools
- In addition to the three drill axis – marking from the bottom (4th axis)

Fast Marking Process
- Fast marking process for applying letters and numerals
- Up to 22 characters without material movement
- Can be integrated into fully-automated handling processes
- Imprint still clearly visible after galvanizing or painting

User Friendly
- Automatic, continual swarf removal
- Can be Installed on either side of the machine

High Drilling Performance
- Drill feed via ballscrew spindle and servo motor
- Constant and repeatable feed rates
- Use of HSS, carbide and solid carbide tools
- SK 40 tool holder

Short Changing Times for Tools
- Automatic tool change on all drilling units for the most common tool sizes (magazine capacity 3 x 5)
- Linear tool magazine positioned directly alongside the drilling axes
- Tool change automatically sets the correct speed and feed rate values
- Automatic drill length sensing

Low Wear and Low Maintenance
- Drill carriage mounted on dual play-free, pre-stressed linear guide elements
- High precision during axis movement and when drilling
- Ball screw with servomotor for high-precision positioning

Automatic Material Clamping and Material Measurement
- Horizontal clamping device with fixed and movable clamping jaws and long-stroke clamping cylinder
- Vertical clamping device with four hold-down devices for clamping the material to the machine rollers
- The clamping devices measure the height and width of the section to be processed for material cross-checking control
- Optimum clamping of the workpiece during the drilling process

Machining diversity
- NC-controlled cutting angle setting. Powerful clamping system to ensure high cutting quality and long saw band life
In-/Outfeed Side

Connection to Steel Roller Conveyor
Cross Transport by Means of Lift-and-Carry System (As an Alternative to Drag Chains)

Low-Noise Material Cross Transport
By lightly raising the material using polyamide-coated rollers integrated into the roller conveyor, the traditional “steel on steel” noise from cross transporting profiles is significantly reduced. Transport technology in steel construction and steel trading will be revolutionized through this new system.
- Fully-automatic control
- Contributes to enhanced occupational safety and the protection of personnel and the environment

Space Saving Measuring System on the Feed Side
M 152 GG Sliding Measuring Carriage with Two Grippers

Cross Transport with lifting pins
Cross Transport with lifting pins

Fast Material Cross Transport
- Material stock in heavy-duty steel construction
- Sliding rails of synthetic material (polyamide) for low-noise material cross transport
- Drag chains with transport claws
- Drive system with continuously-variable frequency-controlled gear motor

Why Buy?
Click the testimonials and case studies to see the positive gains your peers are gaining:
- If your fabrication workshop is not considering synchronising the shot-blasting and beamline together and working both machines in lights out automation perhaps you should be?
- Why is the steel service centre culture committed to investing in the cheapest beamline with limited capability, automation, speed or service reliability? No wonder value can not be provided to every profile competitively
- Why the fabricator needs to invest in a smarter machine than the steel service centre
- A fabricator should ask these questions before purchasing a beamline/coping robot to compare the workshop footprint ROI from loss of fabrication vs benefits of internal processing
- Ordering a beamline that works with NO LABOUR and in 100% automatic mode and lights out when everyone has left the factory
- Benefits for fabricating in house & reasons why to stop losing money purchasing processed steel from steel service centres that increase your fabrication man-hours by 40%, increase schedule & cost by 40%
- Any beamline manufacturer or agent of traditional beamlines or automatic systems must answer these critical questions to ensure the fabricator will be competitive
- Why the steel service centre refuses to include layout marking for add-on-parts AOP’s
- So what’s the problem with the steel service committing the cheapest beamline specification on the market?
