Peddinghaus
Corporation has been the major manufacturer of beam drill
line in the US market for the past 20 years, and has more
experience in beam drilling lines for structural steel
than any firm in the world market!
Simplicity,
machine design, and productivity have led
the Peddinghaus drill lines to
become the industry standard of structural
steel fabricators throughout the world
with over 1,000 installations worldwide.
During
the initial development of the Peddinghaus
beam drill lines, Peddinghaus engineers
focused on using simplicity to reduce or
eliminate the nonproductive functions of
conventional beam drill lines.
Four different models of beam
drill lines are available for drilling beams of
the following widths:
30" (760mm)
40" (1000mm)
50" (1250mm)
78" (2000mm)

Smart Spindle Technology
The "Smart Spindle
Technology" design of the Peddinghaus beam drill
lines features the unique ability to
automatically sense the material contact and
break through after drilling of each hole.
Some
key Peddimat roller feed
drive and measuring system
advantages are:
Flexible material flow
Reduced maintenance
No loss of cycle time due to the requirement to
clamp and un-clamp
Virtual instantaneous positioning of material
Length processing flexibility
Greater accuracy than systems with positioning or measuring wagons
Unparalleled productivity
Flexible Flow:
Since
the Peddinghaus beam drill lines do
not require a measuring carriage or
wagon, the beam drill lines are not
hampered by any obstructions on the
infeed or outfeed conveyor. This
means material can be loaded or
unloaded from the End of
the conveyor, Right side
of the conveyor, and the Left
side of the conveyor.
This provides for up to six different
material flow possibilities for the
loading and unloading of material through
the beam drill line.
Reduced
Maintenance:
Since
all the material positioning and
measuring is internal within the BDL
beam drilling lines, the only moving
parts used for positioning and
measuring are the rolls within the
Peddimat drive. It is not
necessary to have a measuring carriage
extending into the hostile shop
environment complete with its trailing
wire, cables, hoses, etc.
The BDL beam drilling lines
incorporate roller clamps on both the
horizontal and vertical planes.
This design eliminates the need to
clamp and UN-clamp the material
between each positioning move in the
length axi.
No
Time Loss for Clamping and Un-clamping Between
the Drilling of Holes:
Since
the BDL beam drilling lines utilize
the Peddimat Roller Feed Drive and
measuring System, there is no time
loss to accept the next section to be
processed.
The conventional carriage system on
competitive products must be returned
to the start position (up to 80 feet
or 25 meters) to accept the next
section. As this is occurring,
the Peddimat System has already
started to process the next member.

Beam Lines - BDL Software
The
software of the BDL-1250 beam drill, for
example, recalls the exact start position of
the last hole that was drilled and retracts
only 1û2" (12 mm) further. This spindle
optimization reduces the cycle time to the
minimum. This is one of several features that
make the Peddinghaus drills the fastest
in the world!
The BDL-1250/9 CNC Beam Drill Line
incorporates a 3-spindle drill head for each
flange and the web. There is no time lost for
a tool change on the BDL-1250/9 from
Peddinghaus.
The BDL-1250 Beam Drill Lines feature a
patent pending design with an overhead support
system for the drill structure. This unique
patented design gives the operator total free
access to enter the drill area to perform
drill changes and general house cleaning.
It also keeps drill chips from resting on
machined ways.
The
simplicity of the new
BDL beam drilling lines and their
Windows based Peddimat programming
system
makes the Peddinghaus
beam drill lines the most productive
and cost effective solution in the
market today!
