Every day, our customers show us how creative and enterprising they are.
On a recent visit to one of our customers, our technician Dave, noticed these cool roll-out tracks to get rid of unsightly wood ...
Division Five, a structural fabricator located in Hollywood, SC, has been a valued customer of Ocean Machinery since their 2006 installation of the Terminator 1842 Saw and Avenger Drill Line.
The Ocean Liberator CNC Beam Coper was added in 2018 to minimize layout and coping times. A recent visit to their facility reveals W16 x 40’s requiring rat holes, web and flange beveling, taking around 7-minutes and 30 seconds per-end to cope and bevel. Previous manual processing took about one-hour after grinding and final cleanup.
We also observed a “mammoth” W40 x 199 beam being drilled on their Ocean Avenger. The Liberator Beam Coper was used to perform a trim-cut on this “heavy-weight” prior to drilling it.
We thank the team at Division Five for employing the Ocean brand of structural machinery to supplement their fabrication efforts.
We love celebrating and sharing the interesting advancements of our customers around the world.
Steelforce Distribution in Brisbane, Australia has undergone dramatic updates since its first installation of the Ocean Avenger in conjunction with 4 semi-automatic bandsaws. Steelforce provides both cut to length service as well as hole drilling processing for its fabricating customers who do not have beam lines.
Two of the semi-automatic saws have been replaced with automatic Meba bandsaws and are tied together using Peddinghaus hydraulic infeed and outfeed conveyors as well as cross transfer systems .
Additional consolets at the other saws provides faster loading and unloading before material is moved to the Avenger when holes are required.
The new system has more than doubled their capacity and we expect this to be part of an ongoing journey.
Completed weld prep done on the Avenger PLUS
Ever had to bevel the flanges of a column for weld prep when welding on a base plate?
Sure you have, and it’s a pain to do it manually. But our enterprising friends at A&S Steel in Auckland New Zealand have found a way to do it on their Avenger PLUS Drill Line.
Weld prep bevel of flange being done on the Ocean Avenger PLUS
They place their beams and columns on the table at the desired bevel/chamfer angle, use a standard milling tool and then quickly mill their way through the flange, providing a perfectly beveled part, ready to be welded.
Secured at the proper bevel angle and ready to go!
Well, we do call the Avenger PLUS our Multifunction Machine, and now our customers have shown us yet another operation that can be done with this amazingly versatile machine.
