Programming of the CNC Drill Line is very simple even when done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat and most operators can learn how to program most parts in less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However the best way to program the machine is to import parts directly from a CAD drawing preferably done in some 3-D modeling software such as Tekla Structures, SDS/2, ProSteel 3D, StruMis etc. These files import directly into the machine and the operator merely selects the part to be processed and hits the Cycle Start button.
The CNC Beam Drill Line, which can be used to fabricate structural steel or miscellaneous metallics, was immediately a hit with small to medium size fabricators. Since 2003, more than 600 CNC Drill Lines were installed all over the globe. This incredible machine has transformed the lives many a steel fabricator.
