The Bendmak B1DL Single Spindle Drill Line is a versatile and efficient machine designed for drilling, milling, and slotting tasks in the steel fabrication industry. With its space-saving design, sub-axis capability for milling and slotting needs, and optional beam flippers for increased productivity, the B1DL offers a comprehensive & affordable solution for structural steel processing. In this article, we will explore the key features and benefits of the Bendmak B1DL Single Spindle Drill Line, highlighting its space efficiency, sub-axis functionality, and the advantages of using beam flippers to optimize productivity.
Space-Saving Design
One of the standout features of the Bendmak B1DL Single Spindle Drill Line is its space-saving design. The compact footprint of the machine allows for efficient utilization of floor space in the workshop. This is particularly advantageous for facilities with limited space or those looking to optimize their production layout. Requiring no more length of floorspace then the maximum processed beam itself, the B1DL's space-saving design does not compromise its drilling capabilities. It offers a generous drilling capacity, allowing for the precise drilling of holes in a wide range of structural steel profiles. Despite its compact size, the machine provides high accuracy and repeatability, ensuring consistent results with minimal setup time.
Sub-Axis for Milling and Slotting Needs
The Bendmak B1DL Single Spindle Drill Line goes beyond conventional drilling operations by offering a sub-axis feature for milling and slotting requirements. This 9.87" (600MM) sub-axis allows for the free horizontal movement of the drilling head, enabling drilling, milling and slotting operations to be performed with precision and efficiency. With the sub-axis functionality, the B1DL becomes a versatile machine capable of handling multiple tasks in a single setup. It eliminates the need for separate milling or slotting machines, saving time, space, and resources. This integrated approach streamlines the workflow and enhances overall productivity.
The sub-axis feature on the B1DL Drill Line offers flexibility in terms of tooling options and combined with the 6 position liner tool changer makes the options almost endless. Various cutting tools can be utilized to achieve different milling and slotting requirements, catering to the diverse needs of the steel fabrication industry. Whether it's creating slots for connections or milling surfaces for secondary operations, the B1DL provides the necessary capabilities for efficient processing.
Beam Flippers Available for Increased Productivity
To further enhance productivity and ease of operation, the Bendmak B1DL Single Spindle Drill Line offers the option of beam flippers. Beam flippers allow for the automatic rotation of the beam, reducing manual handling and increasing efficiency. With beam flippers, the B1DL enables continuous and uninterrupted processing. The machine can drill, mill, and slot multiple sides of the beam without the need for overhead cranes, forklifts or other rotating devices. This feature significantly reduces downtime and increases throughput while maximizing overall productivity. Beam Flippers eliminate the need for the overhead crane, forklifts or other devices freeing these valuable systems up for other uses.
Beam flippers also contribute to improved operator safety by minimizing physical strain and the risk of accidents associated with manual beam rotation. By automating this process, the B1DL ensures a safer work environment while enhancing productivity. The beam flipper option is especially valuable when working with large or heavy beams. It allows for efficient handling of oversized materials, eliminating the need for additional equipment or excessive manual labor. This results in cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
The Bendmak B1DL Single Spindle Drill Line offers a compact and versatile solution for drilling, milling, and slotting tasks in the steel fabrication industry. With its space-saving design, sub-axis functionality for milling and slotting needs, and optional beam flippers for increased productivity, the B1DL is a comprehensive machine that optimizes floor space utilization, enhances versatility, and streamlines workflow. Whether it's space constraints, the need for multi-tasking capabilities, or improving productivity through automation, the B1DL provides a reliable and efficient solution for structural steel processing.
