The NewRun Tandem Series is a fully integrated structural steel processing solution. By "Tandem-linking" a high-performance 3-spindle (or single-spindle) CNC drill with a double-column mitre bandsaw, the system eliminates material handling bottlenecks. Managed by a centralised CNC control, it imports Tekla/DSTV data to coordinate drilling, scribing, and sawing in one seamless, automated sequence.
Key Technical Specifications:
System Layout: Tandem-linked (CNC Drill + Automatic Mitre Bandsaw).
Drilling Unit: High-speed 3-axis simultaneous drilling (Web & both Flanges).
Sawing Unit: Double-column hydraulic bandsaw with automatic mitre rotation.
Measuring System: High-precision CNC gripper or roller-feed measuring (Encoder-backed).
Software: Full DSTV / Tekla integration for "Drawing-to-Finished-Part" workflow.
Marking: 4-side scribing/marking for part ID and weld layout locations.
Material Handling: Includes automated in-feed and out-feed cross-transfers (optional).
Top 5 "Tandem Line" Advantages:
Maximum Daily Tonnage: Because the saw and drill operate independently but in sync, the machine is almost always "in material." This is the fastest way to process structural steel.
Zero-Touch Processing: Raw beams go in one end; drilled, cut, and marked beams come out the other. You reduce crane lifts by up to 80%.
Synchronised Precision: Both machines use a shared coordinate system. This ensures that every hole is perfectly positioned relative to the cut end, every single time.
4-Side Layout Scribing: The drill unit marks all your layout lines for baseplates and cleats. Your welders can throw away their tape measures; the layout is already there in the steel.
Labour Efficiency: A single operator can manage the entire Tandem Line, doing the work that previously required a team of 4 to 6 people across multiple stations.
