Main Features

Measuring System

A sophisticated combination of probing, clamping and laser devices allows precise measuring of beam length and width, as well as flanges and web height.

3 Independant Spindles

The users can rely on three direct drive independent drilling heads with maximum power on each spindle.
The three high-tech spindles can operate simultaneously on both flanges and the web.

Broche DIRECT Spindle

The powerful direct drive spindle ensures high drilling performances.
This heavy duty, yet simple design, makes this spindle the most efficient and advanced on the market today.

Carbide Drilling

Thanks to the high RPM spindles, carbide tools can be utilized to their maximum efficiency.

Underside Scribing

Besides the top scribing, carried out with the relevant tool, underside scribing operations can be performed with an optional scribing spindle.

Tool Changer

The automatic tool change system is managed by the CNC and is equipped with 6 positions on each spindle.

Magnetic Device

When combined with a band saw, a magnetic back fence allows for the unloading of trim cuts, small drops and short parts onto the unloading table for short pieces.
