".. This machine is intended for structural fabricators. However, I was able to see that it would be a good fit for drilling truck frames. Assembly was easy because of the repeatability and accuracy. Avenger drills the channels for one truck in two hours. If we were to do this manually it would take 16 hours. The Avenger has greatly increased our productivity and profitability !.."

AC Unit Mounted to Electrical Cabinet - This unit is mounted on the cabinet’s High Power (480v side). It is near the location where drives are mounted. This option allows for quicker heat dissipation, while keeping the cabinet temperature steady. The most significant heat contributors inside an electrical cabinet are all the servo motors for all axes.

We have installed over a thousand CNC Beam Drill Lines and Angle Lines around the globe and have found that even a novice programmer can be proficient on the machine in less time than half an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

THE STANDARD SIZE FOR THE BEAMS It is 9" x 12" or 225mm x 300mm in a residential building, according to (IS codes).

When drilling hard metals, you will need a stronger bit. You can use the same standard high-speed steel bit you would use for wood if you are drilling a soft metal such as aluminum. Use a cobalt or titanium bit to drill steel or other hard metals.

Based on the cover, assumed links and bar diameters, calculate the Effective Depth (d). Calculate K = M/( b d2fck ); where "M" stands for the applied bending moment, and "b" the beam width. "D" is concrete's characteristic cylinder strength.

C-channel frames are stronger against rust.

C-beam has lower strength tolerances than the I beam, which leads to lighter components. Continue reading if you have never used C-beam profiles.
