Growing structural fabrication shops require specialized equipment to carry out drilling and cutting operations on structural steel beams. The Bendmak B1DL is a beam drilling system that has gained popularity in recent years due to its efficiency, reliability, and user-friendly design. Whether you need to Process I-Beams, Plate, Angle, Channel's or Pipe, the Bendmak B1DL can Handle it all. In this article, we will explore the top five reasons why the Bendmak B1DL is the most efficient beam drilling system for structural fabrication shops.

Space Saving Design in a Beam Drill

Space is always at a premium in fabrication shops, and the Bendmak B1DL has been designed with this in mind. The system is compact and does not take up much floor space, little more then the beam itself and loading/unloading area, allowing shops to maximize their usable area. The machine has a small footprint, which means that it can be placed in areas where larger drilling systems would not fit. The machine's compact design does not compromise on performance. The B1DL has a drilling capacity of up to 1-1/4" diameter, which is ideal for most structural steel beams used in construction and with it's High Torque 20 HP Spindle it can make sort work of the material in front of it. 

Ease of Operation

The Bendmak B1DL has been designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for operators to carry out drilling operations quickly and efficiently. The machine's intuitive interface allows operators to select drilling parameters, including drill speed, feed rate, and hole diameter, with ease. The B1DL is equipped with a touch screen display, which provides operators with real-time feedback on drilling operations. The system's software is easy to use, and operators do not require extensive training to operate the machine effectively.

The B1DL is also equipped with safety features that protect operators and the machine. The machine is equipped with emergency stop buttons, and the drilling head is designed to automatically retract in the event of a power outage or malfunction. The B1DL is also designed to stop drilling operations if it detects any abnormal vibrations or resistance, protecting the machine and preventing damage.

High Throughput

Structural fabrication shops require high throughput equipment that can quickly and efficiently carry out drilling operations. The Bendmak B1DL is designed to meet this requirement, with a high-speed drilling head that can perform up to 1000 holes per hour. The machine's high-speed drilling head reduces drilling time, allowing shops to process more beams in a shorter time frame. The machine's high-speed drilling head also reduces operator fatigue, as it does not require manual intervention during drilling operations.

The B1DL is also equipped with a material handling system that can automatically load and unload beams, further increasing the machine's throughput. The material handling system is designed to minimize downtime between drilling operations, allowing shops to maximize their production capacity.

Rugged Durability

Structural fabrication shops require equipment that is rugged and durable, capable of withstanding the harsh environments of a fabrication shop. The Bendmak B1DL is built to last, with a robust steel frame that can withstand the stresses of daily use. The machine's drilling head is also designed to be durable, with high-quality components that are resistant to wear and tear.

The B1DL's components are sourced from reputable suppliers, ensuring that the machine is built to the highest quality standards. The machine's components are also designed to be easily replaceable, reducing downtime in the event of a component failure. The machine's components are also easily accessible, allowing for quick and easy maintenance.

Value in Beam Drilling

The Bendmak B1DL is a cost-effective beam drilling system, providing value for money to structural fabrication shops. Packaged together this provides an incredibly quick return on Investment. The machine's high throughput and ease of use make it an efficient and productive piece of equipment, reducing production costs and increasing profits. The B1DL's full CNC Control powers a 20HP Spindle Motor and is equipped with a 6 Station Tool Changer, Automatic Tool Measurement & Material Zero Referencing which provides for high positioning tolerance and repeatability in a very robust design. 

Summary of the Bendmak B1DL

With worldwide spare parts availability a simple controller design that can interface with any design software, a user friendly interface and a fast, accurate and near maintenance free system the B1DL from Bendmak can make inexperienced operators, expert fabricators and because its available in lengths up to 85', can handle the toughest most demanding jobs.

With this Space Saving design, Ease of Use, High Throughput, Rugged Durability & Overall Value for Performance the Bendmak B1DL should be your next choice for Structural Beam/Plate/Angle drilling needs. Call 833-BENDMAK for more info (833-236-3625) or visit us ion the web at www.bendmakusa.com
