FMC is dominating the structure steel fabricating market in recent years by selling a mass of CNC Beam Drillings system around the world. In 2006, FMC created the first large section beam drilling system BD1025 which was designed for large-section beam fabricators desiring to increase profitability and throughput (tons-per-month) in today’s extremely competitive market. BD1025 eliminates time-consuming manual beam layout and hole drilling, formerly done by mag drills and/or hydraulic punches.
BD1025 (8 CNC Axis) is a different drilling system from BD1250 and BD1000. The machine is equipped with 3 self-supported high-speed Y-Z-axis moving drilling spindles. All spindles are built on the gantry and moving along with it. The spindle can provide high efficient drilling capacity with wide range of hole diameters. All these 3 drilling units can work simultaneously on the web and flanges of the beam. The Beam is fixed on the worktable, and the gantry will finish the CNC moving automatically to find the right position for drilling.
BD1025 can be multi-used for drilling H-Beam, Box-Beam, Column-Beam and Channel. The high speed drilling spindle (0 ~ 1500 rpm) and high speed position servo system will enable the machine to finish job efficiently.
