Can your Beam Line do this? – Drilling Pre-Welded Assemblies

There are situations that occur in fabrication that necessitate the pre-welding of an assembly and then the subsequent drilling of that assembly. This is normally due to one or more concerns that if the holes are drilled prior to welding, that:

The contraction and distortion of the material as it cools down from welding, might cause the hole-to-hole accuracy to be compromised, and
The actual welding of the pre-drilled components might not be perfectly aligned, thus compromising the hole-to-hole accuracy

The Avenger and Avenger PLUS machines, by virtue of the static work-piece and moving processing column, allow fabricators to position and drill pre-welded structures on their machines.

This is not something that you can even consider on a typical multi-spindle drill line or coping robot.

Ocean WOW’s customers at the 2013 Fabtech Tradeshow Chicago

Posted on November 26, 2013 by oceansblog

The 2013 Fabtech trade show held in Chicago last week at the McCormack Center was a resounding success, not only for Ocean Machinery but for all the exhibitors. Not only was attendance high, but the fabricators in attendance were optimistic and in a buying mood. Several exhibitors sold all their machines off their booths, something that seldom happens.

Ocean too had a similar experience. Interest in the new Ocean Avenger PLUS CNC drill line was exceptional and Ocean is struggling to keep up with demand. The new Ocean Terminator DCM 1825 Dual COlumn Double Miter band saw drew lots of admirers looking for fast steel cutting of all steel profiles

And of course the world famous Oceanettes were on hand to add some glamour to the proceedings and their new outfits were a HUGE success.

Ocean Machinery’s extensive booth captured the attention of fabricators each and every day!

The NEW Ocean Avenger PLUS drilled hundreds of 13/16″ holes in the flanges and web of this W12x96 column in just 5 seconds per hole!

The NEW Ocean Avenger PLUS plunge milled hundreds of 13/16″ x 1-1/2″ slots in the flanges of this W118x35 beam in just 10 seconds per slot!

Ocean also exhibited the brand new Ocean Terminator DCM 1825 Dual Column Double Mitering Band Saw built for them by their sawing partner MEP/Hyd-Mech. this semi-automatic saw was a big hit at the show, and is the obvious choice for strucutral and general fabricators wanting a highly efficient saw at a reasonable price. The Terminator DCM 18-25 also miters to 60 degrees in both directions and features pop-up lift rollers to allow fast mitering angle changes without moving the beam during the mitering process.
