BeamCenter CNC 1200 - CNC Production Center for Beam Construction

• All components of the chain of production are fine tuned to each other
• Central selection of all production steps
• Flexible and customizable for your requirements

The BeamCenter combines one material feed and discharge unit, one drill unit with 3 spindles, one marking unit, and one band saw for complete, fully automated construction of beams

Gantry-type Drilling unit

• The drill press features a solid, very rigid bridge with large linear guides
• One vertical and two horizontal drill heads can be positioned simultaneously and independently from each other for concurrent machining of both flanges and lands
• Powerful servo-motors and premium preloaded ball screws ensure reliable and accurate positioning of drill heads with lasting precision
• High-torque Siemens spindle drives with 13 Hp power and rigid , compact spindle heads feature superior power, quiet operation and excellent drill capacities up to 1.6" in steel
• Work spindle for DIN 69871 tools (ST40 tool taper with gripper groove and draw bolt) provides superior accuracy and durability under production loads
• Coolant feed via spindle on all axes to allow use of high-speed drills with inside cooling
• A tool changer with 4 stations for each spindle provides maximum flexibility and automates the production process further; saves tooling time and cost
• Optionally, each spindle head may be equipped with a thread-cutting unit
• An air-actuated reduction cooling system is available for every work spindle - reliable cooling ensures longer tool life
• Exact positioning of sections via material feed unit with integrated measuring system
• Material clamping fixture with very solid dual-jaws holds the beam vertically and horizontally using special pull-down grippers
• A sophisticated automatic central lubrication system supplies guides and bearings with lubricant - this minimizes maintenance, reduces the operator's work load and lowers cost

Feed and discharge unit with material positioning

• Roller conveyors with 12 m long tracks and sturdy rollers running on heavy-duty bearings are matched ideally to the machine and designed for heavy workpieces
• The finished beams are transported out of the operating area via a 12 m long discharge unit with driven rollers (optional length of 20 m + 8 m)
• Motorized rollers can be disengaged manually via an electromagnetic clutch
• Reliable positioning unit with separate guide to protect against high loads during tooling and machining of the workpieces
• The length measuring system is integrated in the servo-motor as a high-resolution encoder, where it is perfectly protected and requires no maintenance
• Gears are reliable, highly robust and ideally matched to the drive system
• The hydraulically operated gripper reliably fixates the workpiece and positions it accurately up to the saw unit
• The drill unit with feed and discharge unit may be combined with a horizontal band saw and a hydraulic marking unit

Can be combined with other modules to further automate all production processes

Marking unit

• Optionally, each workpiece can be marked with an alphanumeric identification
• Radial and axial positioning of embossing head via servo-motors; the workpiece does not have to be moved during the marking process
• The marking unit features a powerful, integrated hydraulic system for clamping and embossing of the workpiece
• Character height of 0.5", and an embossing depth of 0.02" - 0.03" in any type of material
• Embossing stamps can be easily replaced individually to save time and cost

Band saw unit - the high-end miter band saw complements the production package

• Linear guide way directly at the saw frame ensures exact frame guidance
• Very rigid saw frame constructed in one-piece construction and mounted on a large turning ring for bilateral swivel
• Linear guides keep the easy to adjust, solid saw blade guide arm on track
• Powerful, hydraulic workpiece clamping fixates the part in the exact position
• Angle adjustment on both sides; swivel range +60° / -45° with hydraulic clamping
• Cutting capacity: 47" @ 90° and 21" @ 60°
• Frequency inverter drive for infinitely variable cutting speed
• Automatic change-over from rapid feed to work feed
• Reliable chip removal via an integrated chip conveyor
• Automatic belt tensioner ensures constant performance and high angular accuracy
