What is Changing Structural Steel Fabrication Manufacuring

---

The carpenter working on a new home makes use of a standard assortment of tools – an assortment of saws, drills, sanders, routers and even good old hammers. The analogy holds for structures that use structural steel framing instead of wood. Construction projects from pre engineered metal buildings to big highrises call for someone to [...]

Structural Fabrication Productivity Comparison – Peddinghaus versus PythonX

---

Systems for fabricating structural steel have advanced over the past century, from simple handheld motorized drills and saws to cutting edge, fully-automated “heat cutting” systems. Nowadays, those examining investment in new structural steel fabricating capability face an never before seen dichotomy in their “technology platform” decision that didn’t exist when they previously had to make [...]

Fab It Faster – New Radical Tool for Structural Fabrication

---

Fabrication of structural steelsections has always been performed using “metal against metal” techniques. The emergence of CNC (computer numerical control) technology brought automation and greater accuracy to these techniques. A beam drill line (drill line) has long been thought of as an optimum way to drill holes and mill slots into beams. CNC beam drill [...]

How the Cost of Structural Steel Fabrication Gets Rewritten By Ingenious CNC Drill Line Equipment

---

A Plasma Cutting CNC Drill Line? The competitiveness of structural steel fabrication is closely dependent on the path the workpiece travels as it goes from raw structural sections inventory to eventual loading on a truck going to the job site. Every time the workpiece is “touched” adds delay and cost to the final finished beam, [...]

Reinventing the Beam Line

---

Drilling precise bolt holes in red iron beam and columns can be a challenge. The beam line has been thought of as a sensible way to get the job done rapidly and cost effectively. The larger structural steel supply firms all seem to have beam lines and the not-so-large fabricators are saving up to buy [...]

Plasma Cutting Replaces Beam Drill Line

---

For structural steel specialists – companies who cut, weld, shape and create joists, trusses and beams for skyscrapers, industrial facilities, power plants, stadiums – the last word in automation in recent years has been the CNC beam drill line. A beam drill line is a machinery system that uses a conveyor to move a piece [...]
