Laser Beamline - Structural and Miscellaneous Steel Fabrication

The Next Generation of Structural Steel Processing
Cuts | Bolt Holes | Copes | Bevels | Part Marks | + More
When it comes to modern fabrication, efficiency, precision, and automation are everything. The Ocean GLADIATOR is a powerful structural steel beam laser system designed to streamline beam processing while reducing floor space, labor, and operating costs. Instead of relying on multiple machines to cut, drill, cope, and mark steel profiles, this advanced solution performs all these operations in one compact system.

One Structural Steel Beam Laser That Does It All
Traditional fabrication lines often require separate machines for cutting, drilling, coping, and marking. The GLADIATOR eliminates that inefficiency by integrating every operation into one highly capable structural steel beam laser platform.

Using advanced 3D laser technology, the system can:

Cut beams and columns to precise lengths
Laser-cut bolt holes and connection features
Cope flanges and webs with extreme precision
Etch part marks onto the profile
By consolidating multiple operations into a single structural steel beam laser, fabricators can simplify workflow, reduce handling, and improve overall productivity on the shop floor.

Compact Design That Maximizes Floor Space
One of the biggest advantages of the GLADIATOR structural steel beam laser is its innovative cantilever design. The machine travels on precision rails while maintaining an exceptionally compact footprint.

Compared to conventional drill-saw lines and coping systems, this structural steel beam laser requires less than half the floor space, making it ideal for fabrication shops looking to maximize production capacity without expanding their facility.

Even better, the system delivers this performance at less than half the cost of traditional drill-saw and coping lines, providing a powerful return on investment for structural steel fabricators.

Higher Material Yield with Smart Cutting
Efficiency doesn’t stop with speed and automation. The GLADIATOR structural steel beam laser also improves material utilization through the use of common cutlines and narrow kerf widths.

This allows fabricators to process multiple parts from a single long stock length, maximizing yield from every beam. The result is less material waste, lower costs, and greater profitability on every job.

For fabricators producing skids and structural platforms, the system can also cope flush to the inside of the flange, making it perfect for producing cross-members used in welded skid assemblies.

Built for Large Structural Profiles
The GLADIATOR beam laser is available in three machine configurations designed to accommodate a wide range of structural profiles.

Machine capabilities include:

Processing lengths up to 40 ft, 50 ft, or 60 ft
Beam flange heights 4 inches up to 19.7 inches
Web widths 7.8 inches up to 49 inches
Channel flanges 2 inches up to 9.8 inches
This flexibility makes the Ocean GLADIATOR beam laser ideal for fabricators working with beams, columns, channels, and angles across a variety of industries.

World-Class 5-Axis Laser Technology
At the core of the system is Penta Laser’s advanced 3D five-axis cutting technology, delivering the precision required for complex structural cuts and coping geometries.

The GLADIATOR also meets European CE safety standards, featuring a fully enclosed cutting area and triple safety interlocks that protect both operators and equipment during operation.

A Smarter Way to Process Structural Steel
For fabricators looking to modernize their operations, the GLADIATOR offers a smarter, more efficient solution. By combining multiple fabrication processes into one compact structural steel beam laser, shops can increase production capacity, reduce handling, and significantly lower operating costs.

The result is faster throughput, higher precision, and a competitive edge in today’s demanding structural steel market.
