ROLLER FEED MATERIAL HANDLING• Unmatched accuracy on all structural shapes • Unparalleled efficiency - load material while machine is in production with ease

MINIMUM QUANTITY LUBRICATION• 97% Air, 3% Vegetable Oil Based Mist • Eliminates Flood Coolant Mess • No Need to Clean Parts Before Other Processes

EFFICIENT 4 kW POWER UNIT• 50% less electrical cost vs. comparable models • Minimized footprint - power unit is mounted on machine for superior floorspace utilization

3 TOOL CHANGERS EACH WITH 5 STATIONS• Eliminate the need to manually change tooling during production • Tool automatically changed upon program command • Perfect for holding scribing tools, taps, countersinks, and additional drill tooling

CARBIDE INSERT DRILLINGFaster Drilling with higher RPM and incredible feed rates. This is what makes carbide insert drilling the technology of today.

Carbide tooling is harder, and more resistant to heat than traditional high speed tooling. Each of these properties allow for higher feed rates, and maximum spindle RPM - saving valuable time in the drilling process and reducing production costs per ton of fabricated steel.

DRILL FASTER AND MAINTAIN UNMATCHED TOOL LIFE ON THE ADVANTAGE 2 WITH:

• A rigid, vibration free workpiece

• Precision drilling feed rates

• Accurate spindle RPMs

• Powerful, high torque spindle motors

SUPERIOR CLAMPING FOR VIBRATION FREE CARBIDE DRILLING#1 - Four Robust Horizontal Clamp Rollers

• 250mm tall Horizontal Clamp rollers

• Provides maximum surface area contact with flanges

• Knurled for superior grip of material

#2 - Dual Horizontal Clamps

• Direct clamping force applied to profile

#3 - Four Rugged Vertical Hold Downs

• Angled hold down secures flange

• Eliminates potential flex caused by high spindle feed rates

#4 - Two Y-Axis Web Probes / Clamps

• Applies force to web of material

• Steadies workpiece and applies “pre-flex” to eliminate backward pressure on drill tool

SIEMENS SMART SPINDLE MOTORSPowerful spindle motors and precision electronic feedback is the backbone of any modern carbide drilling system.

Peddinghaus’ Smart Spindle Motors use innovative Siemens technology to monitor spindle RPMs using linear feedback, allowing the machine to achieve speeds and feeds exactly as required.

WHY SMART SPINDLE TECHNOLOGY?Smart spindle eliminates the unnecessary drilling of “air” while guaranteeing each hole is drilled completely through material.

With Smart Spindle Technology you will see a dramatic increase in the number of holes that can be drilled in a given amount of time.

THE SMART SPINDLE DRILLING PROCESS#1 - The spindle rapidly approaches material.

#2 - If the machine does not already know tool length it will do an initial probe to determine this dimension

#3 - After finding tool length the tool will retract and spin. Instantly it knows how much torque is required to rotate the tool when not drilling material

#4 - The machine enters drilling feeds and speeds and begins drilling the hole. 90% through the theoretical material thickness the smart spindle motor begins monitoring torque.

#5 - When torque required to spin the tool drops to that of drilling air, the machine detects breakthrough.

#6 - The tool is rapidly retracted and advances to the next hole in a pattern.

LESS VIBRATION MEANS FASTER DRILLING AND SUPERIOR TOOL LIFE

MAXIMUM HANDLING EFFICIENCYRoller Feed material handling proves time and time again to be the most efficient way to measure a profile in modern structural fabrication. Unlike age old carriage designs Roller Feed is both the most flexible and efficient solution to material handling.

CUT COSTS AND INCREASE PRODUCTION BY:• Eliminating time wasted waiting for a carriage to return to a “Loading” position

• Minimizing crane handling - the “hidden shop cost” in today’s structural fabrication.

• Maximize throughput by staging materials on conveyor while a machine is in operation

• Store and load raw stock outside of a building in any climate. Load raw materials on conveyor outside in the stockyard away from internal fabrication processes.

MODULAR DESIGNThe Peddinghaus modular design of equipment allows you to combine a wide array of structural machines in a single system with ease.

Start with a single machine and grow when your business is ready to grow, not when a machine purchase dictates.

Peddinghaus drills are fully compatible with a wide array of straight cut saws, miter cut saws, or ABCM-1250 automatic coping systems directly in tandem for optimum production versatility.

When your production requirements grow, don’t retool, - simply rethink your shop flow and easily expand using your existing equipment.

COMPACT FOOTPRINTWhen space is a premium Roller Measurement will allow you to reduce costs and overhead associated with maintaining a large indoor machine shop.

ASK YOURSELF - WHAT IF?

What if you didn’t have to house all material handling inside a large facility?

What if you could load materials outside in any climate and simply transfer through a small opening in an exterior wall?

What if all you needed was a small garage to house your drilling machine and everything was covered?
