For years, small to medium fabricators have been stuck between two worlds: slow, error-prone manual drilling or massive, expensive multi-spindle lines. The BeamX Single Spindle CNC Drill Line bridges that gap. It offers the precision and speed of a high-end CNC line at a price point and footprint that makes sense for the growing shop.
High-Speed Carbide Performance
Forget the slow chug of high-speed steel (HSS) twist drills. The Beamx is equipped with a high-torque 20 HP Direct Drive Spindle capable of 4,000 RPM. This allows you to use modern carbide insert tooling, punching through flanges and webs in seconds rather than minutes.
- Through-Spindle Coolant: An MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) mist system shoots coolant directly to the cutting tip, extending tool life and keeping your shop floor dry.
More Than Just a Drill
This machine is a complete fabrication centre.
- Drilling: Holes up to 1-9/16″ (40mm).
- Milling: Cut slots and oversized holes effortlessly.
- Tapping: Thread holes up to M27 automatically.
- Scribing: Eliminate the tape measure. The machine can scribe part numbers and layout lines for welded attachments directly onto the steel, saving your welders hours of fit-up time.
Intelligent “Sub-Axis” Efficiency
On lesser machines, every time you need to drill a new hole, you have to unclamp the beam, move it, and reclamp. The Beamx features a 10-inch (250mm) Sub-Axis. This means the drill head can travel along the beam to drill an entire 4-bolt or 6-bolt cluster while the beam stays securely clamped. This drastically reduces cycle time and improves accuracy.
