Revolutionary drilling technology that offers flexibility
This machine can be used as a stand-alone machine for drilling operation and can be combined with oxyfuel and plasma cutting processes.
Processes
Plate Cutting

Edge Preparation

Marking

Drilling
- Robust structure to counter the back force generated during drilling and milling operations
- Localized clamping of plates at the point of drilling
- Easy generation of programs for cutting and drilling operations
- Machine designed for large working areas
