One advanced machine can efficiently process hot and cold rolled structural steel profiles. Supported profiles include RHS, SHS, UB, UC, PFC, TFC, EA, UA, Plate and Pipe.
All copes, mitres, square cuts, slots and holes can be cut automatically. Full bevel weld preps can be applied to all surfaces including underneath!
Plasma etch marking is also a standard feature for part numbers, welding instructions, alignment marks etc.
The advanced CNC controller reads industry standard DSTV and DXF drawing files supporting software packages such as Tekla, StruCad, AutoCad and many more.
Take a look at some of the outstanding features:
Material Handling
Material is queued up by operator on in-feed buffer. Machine feeds material across and through as required. Finished parts are fed onto the out-feed buffers.
NC1/DSTV
Metaltek XB1200 reads NC1/DSTV files from all industry standard detailing software such as Tekla, Advance Steel, ProSteel, StruCad, Revit etc.
Import 3D Models
Open 3D models from 3D CAD such as SolidWorks, Inventor, SolidEdge, OnShape etc. Supports all profiles. All cut-paths are generated automatically.
Cuts All Profiles
Cut Channel, Beam & Column up to 1200mm wide, Equal & Unequal Angle, Pipe up to 1000mm and Flat plate up to 50mm thick
Automatic Nesting
Nesting happens instantly as files are imported into the job queue. The machine tells you profiles and quantity required.
Etching/Marking
Part numbers, alignment marks, fold lines, welding symbols etc. can all be marked with precision. Track parts and eliminate the need for measuring.
All structural profiles
Beam & Column, Equal & Unequal Angle, Parallel & Tapered Flange Channel, Square & Rectangular Hollow Section with Etching/marking on all faces
Pipe coping & bevelling
Pipe components up to 1000mm diameter can be easily cut on the XB1200. All weld preps can be performed at the same time.
Plate Cutting & Bevelling
Sheet and plate steel components can be nested and cut easily. Base plates, cleats, brackets and much more. Plate is cut in line will all other profiles.
