The Peddinghaus FDB thermal cutting and drilling lines from the Peddimat product range are suitable for cost-effective drilling and thermal cutting of sheet metal, steel plates and flat steel.
Even though many Peddinghaus FDB lines are partly getting on in years, the machines of the FDB series from Peddinhaus still make a reliable contribution in the steel construction and steel trade. Around the 1980s, these thermal cutting machines for steel plates were a major innovation for economical flat steel processing. These compact machines made it possible to perform both drilling and thermal cutting of flat steel in a single machine.
In 2018, this oxy-fuel thermal cutting machine with integrated drilling unit is still a reliable production machine for the economic steel construction production of head plates, foot plates, flanges and so on. A stable design, good maintenance by the machine operator and good service by Peddinghaus as the machine manufacturer and Nenok as one of the leading used machine dealers in steel construction, ensure continued cost-effective use for sheet metal processing. Also the good spare parts supply by Nenok for the Peddimat FDB series (be it for mechanical components or electrical components such as the Siemens control, Siemens drives, Baumüller drives and encoders, etc.) guarantees the steel fabricators and steel dealers a high availability of this FDB thermal cutting and drilling line from Peddinghaus.
How the Peddinghaus FDB 600 thermal cutting and drilling machine 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 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 further to the gas-oxygen cutting 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 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. Since the 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.
