Features

Convenient Operation of the System
- Plain-text display of machine data and possible error messages
- Good observation of the processes and rapid intervention in case of disturbance

Low Wear and Low Maintenance
- Drill carriage mounted on dual play-free, pre-stressed linear guides
- Robust mountig for high precision when drilling

Universal, Economical Gas Cutting Process
- Universally implementable gas cutting unit built onto the drilling unit
- Automatic height adjustment of the cutting unit

Fully Automatic Processing Possible
- Automatic disposal of small parts in a removable finished-parts container

High Cutting Speed
- Highest cutting performance and optimum cutting quality
- In addition to autogenous gas cutting, a high-performance plasma cutting machine can optionally be used
- Common cut and cross-cut technology generates significantly less waste

Dust Free Work Environment
- System with pre-separator and dust collection container
- Filtering unit with eight cartridges in flame retardant design
- Automatic filter cleaning

Fast Marking Process
- Fast, high-quality marking process for applying letters and numbers
- Marking depth to 1 mm regardless of material and plate thickness
- Imprint still clearly visible after galvanizing or painting

Material Marking by Means of a Milling Tool on the Drill Head
- Application of numbers and letters as well as reference boundaries for welding add-on pieces
- DSTV-Data import
- Use of high-speed carbide tools

Machine Operation with the Most Up-to-Date Software
- Easy data import and export
- Automatic or manual nesting
- Partial programming possibility via NC-DSTV, DXF or DWG files, integrated drawing program or macros
- And much more

Short Changing Times for Tools
- Automatic tool change on the drilling unit for the most common tool sizes
- Tool change unit consists of a chain change system directly attached to the portal
- Tool change automatically sets the correct speed and feed-rate values
- Automatic drill length sensing

Swarf Brush
- Fully automated swarf removal before thermal cutting

Downholder and Downholder roll
- Hold-down device minimises vibrations- thereby increasing machining quality and prolonging tool life
- Hold-down device is used with extensive milling operations

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
