| Description of Machine | Finishing Excellence: Our plate deburring machine specializes in mild steel dross removal and edge grinding. Capable of handling materials from 3mm to 100mm thickness, it ensures a clean, polished finish. Slag removal, top grinding, and edge rounding, including holes, contribute to impeccable surface quality. | Precision Tube Profiling: Our 3D laser tube processing machine caters to all profiles with an 18MT stock infeed. From 60mm to 600mm diameter rounds and 50mm SHS, it offers versatile weld preps, copes, and slots. With a max thickness of 19mm, it delivers high-precision results. | Precision Cutting and Marking: Our CNC machine excels in flat bar and angle cutting, offering precision cuts ranging from 50 x 5mm to 500 x 25mm. With the ability to create holes through punching or drilling and stamped identification part marking, this machine ensures accuracy and efficiency. | Versatile Plate Processing: Our heavy-duty plate machine is a powerhouse for diverse operations. From drilling and tapping to plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, it handles materials with ease. With a bed size of 3.2 x 18m and the capability to cut thicknesses from 3mm to 250mm, it’s a go-to solution for robust plate processing needs. | Efficient Beam Processing: Our integrated CNC beam processing system combines drilling, sawing, coping, and more. With an 18MT stock infeed, it accommodates various widths and heights, ensuring precise weld preps, copes, and slots. The green feed feature optimizes material usage for enhanced automation. | Automated Welding Solutions: Our robotic welding system is designed for efficiency. With an 18m maximum length, a 15.5m weld zone, and the ability to handle a maximum weight of 4.5 tonnes, it ensures long welds and large weld zones. The 1.8m maximum swing diameter enhances welding capabilities. |
