ABCM 1250/3

THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR SHOP In the world of fabrication there is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ equipment. Each machine has an ideal application, and for each Fabricator there is an ideal machine. The ABCM-1250 coping machine is ideally suited for mid-sized to larger fabricators, or fabricators that require high volumes of welded connections. Ideal for the Automation of Common Copes: Shops that require web cutouts, flange penetrations, slotted tubes, block copes, “rat holes”, “dog bones”, and more find the ABCM performs each of these cuts flawlessly and at the lowest possible labor cost. Used as a Coper and a Miter Saw: Does your shop currently have a straight cut saw and just can’t justify the investment of a miter saw? Is your current cutting capacity overburdened? Combine your coping and miter cutting into one operation on the ABCM. Used for the Application of Split-T Sections: Structural split T’s are no problem with the Peddinghaus ABCM-1250 coping machine. How Does the ABCM Compare to Typical Robotic Plasma Copers? Although plasma is undeniably the faster cutting solution, the triple torch design of the ABCM oxy-fuel coper allows for the cutting of two flanges simultaneously. This means flange thins are performed on both top and bottom flanges at the same time, weld prep is generated concurrently, and operating costs are minimized due to the machine’s low power requirement. In addition there is no need for a dust extraction unit and consumable costs are considerably lower when compared to plasma. In addition to this, there is no tedious torch probe process associated with robotic copers, and the narrow diameter of the oxy-fuel torch allows for tighter cutting against flanges, tipping the scales in favor of the ABCM-1250. Modular Design The Peddinghaus Roller Feed design of material measurement allows for an array of material handling options. With the ABCM-1250 measurement happens at the machine, eliminating separate carriage or gripper feed mechanisms. This allows for total layout flexibility. Peddinghaus conveyors can be quickly expanded, split apart, transferred across from either side (datum or non datum), and modified with no sacrifice in machine accuracy or functionality. The elimination of unnecessary mechanism also allows for superior durability, as Peddinghaus material handling can be easily stored outside in any climate. Furthermore, the modular design of Roller Measurement gives fabricators the ability to expand their production on an as needed basis as business dictates, allowing for unmatched potential. How do I setup my shop? Shop layout and material handling efficiency is paramount for cost savings. Every time a profile is handled with a crane, profits are lost. This unnecessary shop cost not only slows the productivity of other processes, but creates unneeded work related hazards. With the help of Peddinghaus’ seasoned layout engineers and systems personnel fabricators learn the secrets to shop floor success without experiencing the pitfalls of poor layout and planning. Store Material Outside Your material doesn’t need electricity, heat, or shelter in order to be stored. So why house all of your material handling inside, consuming valuable shop space, and incurring costly overhead expenses? Peddinghaus’ Roller Feed design makes it easy to place material handling outdoors. On top of saving shop space, this innovative method eliminates unnecessary crane handling that inhibits other operations inside of your shop. Easily unload delivery trucks outside, and load conveyor without slowing other parts of your production. Small Facilities, Small Overhead Big tonnages in small places – this is the mantra of the Peddinghaus systems department. Smaller spaces equate to lower operating expenses across the board; whether it’s heat, electricity, property taxes, or the cost of initial investment. Peddinghaus users commonly employ a garage style structure outside of their main welding and fabrication shop to lower overhead costs, and minimize the hazards caused by housing multiple operations under a single roof.
