The Peddinghaus FDB plate processing machines from the Peddimat product range are suitable for the cost-effective drilling and flame cutting of sheet metal, steel plates and flat steel.
Many Peddinghaus FDB plate processing machines of different sizes are in use worldwide in flat steel processing. As early as the 1980s, these Peddinghaus plate processing machines for steel plates were a major innovation for economical flat steel processing. These compact machines made it possible to carry out both the drilling and the flame cutting of flat steel in a single machine.
Even today, these plate processing machines with integrated drilling unit are reliable production machines for the economical steel construction of head plates, base plates, flanges, etc. A stable design, good maintenance by the machine operator and good service by Peddinghaus as the machine manufacturer or Nenok as one of the leading used machine dealers ensure continued cost-effective use for sheet metal processing. The good spare parts supply by Nenok for the Peddimat FDB series (whether for mechanical components or electrical components such as the Siemens control system, Siemens drives, Baumüller drives and encoders etc.) also guarantees steel fabricators and steel traders a high level of availability for this FDB drilling and flame-cutting machine from Peddinghaus.
Peddinghaus FDB 600 flame drilling machine, How it works
The Peddinghaus FDB 600 series is simple, reliable and easy to learn. After programming a component dimension (top plate, base plate, flange, etc.) with the required holes and contour data, the NC data generated by the programming software is transferred to the CNC control (usually Siemens or Fagor) in DSTV or DXF format. The CNC control converts this imported data into the positioning commands for the individual axes. The flat material is then placed on the inclined infeed roller table and brought to the tension roller of the roller measuring feed of the FDB 600 flame cutting and drilling machine. Once the material has been clamped in the feed unit (the roll feed), it is precisely positioned using a measuring disk and the zero point. The previously programmed positions are then drilled with an HSS cooling channel drill or marked (short drilling to obtain a point in the sheet).
The flat steel is then transported to the gas-oxygen firing unit using the transport rollers. The contour data previously generated in the Siemens control system is then burned out with an oxy-fuel burner (usually oxygen with propane gas or acetylene gas). The finished drilled and fired component can now be removed from the movable, inclined outfeed roller table of the FDB flame cutting and drilling unit. The deburring of the drill holes and cutting edges is then usually carried out by the machine operator directly next to the machine, while the machine is already producing the next component. As the Peddinghaus FDB 600 is very inexpensive as a used machine, requires little space and is considered to be very reliable, this machine is still in use today in many steel construction companies.
