For structural fabricators, having the right tools and equipment is essential for ensuring the success of your projects and growing your business. Moving from manual beam layouts and magnetic based drills is no small step, but is an essential one if you want to increase your business and reduce your manufacturing time. One of the key tools for increased productivity in structural fabrication is a single spindle drilling machine, and the Bendmak B1DL Drilling Machine is the right choice for fabricators due to its many features & benefits. In this blog post, we will discuss the top 5 benefits of the Bendmak B1DL Drilling Machine for structural fabricators.

  1. High Speed & Accurate Beam Processing:

One of the biggest benefits of the Bendmak B1DL Drilling Machine is its high speed, precision and accuracy. Utilizing the power of Siemens Controllers the B1DL is designed to produce precise and accurate holes, which is essential for ensuring the strength and stability of structural components, while increasing productivity. Meeting the need for speed with structural fabricators is as important as making the parts accurately. A powerful 20HP spindle drives the tools at up to 3,000 RPM quickly removing material using Carbide, Carbide Insert or HSS tools. Additional standard features such as tool changer, countersinking tapping & engraving capabilities as well as fully adjustable drilling depth combine to make this a complete accurate beam processing system. 

  1. Ease of Operation

Another key benefit of the Bendmak B1DL Drilling Machine is its simplicity in operation. With its powerful yet intuitive Siemens controller the B1DL works seamlessly with even the most advanced structural design and engineering platforms making it a user-friendly tool for fabricators. With simple controls and design, the B1DL allows fabricators to get started quickly, without the need for extensive training or experience and allows for remote support assistance, like having a factory technician standing over your shoulder. With its advanced, yet simple control platform, the B1DL allows fabricators to complete drilling tasks quickly and efficiently, reducing the overall time required for fabrication projects.

  1. Versatile Capabilities with Reliability and Durability Built In:

The Bendmak B1DL Drilling Machine is designed to be versatile and adaptable, allowing fabricators to use it for a wide range of drilling, marking, slotting and milling tasks. From drilling small holes to large holes the B1DL is designed to handle any drilling task that a structural fabricator may encounter. Moreover the Bendmak B1DL Drilling Machine is designed to be easily serviceable, durable and reliable, making it a long-lasting investment for structural fabricators. With a rugged design and high-quality components, the B1DL is designed to withstand the demands of the fabrication workshop, providing reliable performance for years to come.

  1. Space Saving Design:

With space at a premium the Bendmak B1DL can perform a variety of operation on Beams measuring up to 47" X 47 and an astonishing 60' in length all while requiring little more then the footprint of the beam itself. This space saving design allows for your shop to add other critical operations such as sawing systems, beam rotating machines for assembly operations, painting lines and so much more. Every space in the structural fabricating shop is valuable and the Bendmak B1DL is designed with that in mind.

  1. Easily Upgraded with Value Added Options

Having a drill line alone is an increase to productivity 10 fold over manual processes, but adding unique options such s the Bendmak Beam Flipping Device makes these systems autonomous and eliminates the need for an overhead crane to rotate material for further processing while keeping that space saving design intact.
