Modular Design
The Peddinghaus Roller Feed design of material measurement allows for an array of material handling options. With Peddinghaus Drill Lines measurement happens at the machine, eliminating separate carriage or gripper feed mechanisms; allowing 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. In addition, the modular design of Roller Measurement gives fabricators the ability to expand their production on an as needed basis or as business dictates, allowing for unmatched potential.
How do I Setup My Shop?
Shop layout and material handling efficiency is paramount for cost savings
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
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
Peddinghaus users commonly employ a garage style structure outside of their main welding and fabrication shop
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.
Saw Integration
Saw Integration
Drilling and sawing need to work in harmony, no matter your operation. The big question is how to arrange such a system to receive desired throughput. Peddinghaus machines, due to their modular design, are capable of being placed in tandem, or split apart from a saw to suit each need.

Powerful Spindle
The BDL-1250/9B Drill Line offers powerful spindle capabilities that surpass others in today's market
Powerful Spindle
The BDL-1250/9B Drill Line offers powerful spindle capabilities that surpass others in today's market. The proven nine spindle design of the BDL-1250/9B series of machines has long served as the benchmark for drilling efficiency within the structural steel industry.
Multi-Spindle Drilling
The BDL-1250/9B from Peddinghaus Corporation comes standard with a three spindle drilling unit in each drilling axis
Multi-Spindle Drilling
Continuous production can be stifled when frequent tool change is required. The BDL-1250/9B from Peddinghaus Corporation comes standard with three spindles in each drilling axis; eliminating the need to change tooling in programs with up to three hole diameters. Each of these powerful spindles are designed with maximum efficiency in mind.
Smart Spindle Drilling
Before drilling, data is collected to distinguish all dimensions involved, and Smart Spindle takes place
Smart Spindle Drilling
Take the guess work out of drilling, finish every hole in a profile, in the fastest manner possible, using the Peddinghaus Smart Spindle approach. Not all material is perfect. Flanges can be "toed in", "toed out" or it can simply be rolled at a varied thickness, this is the nature of structural steel.
THE SMART SPINDLE DRILLING SEQUENCE:
Rapid Approach
Tool comes into contact with the surface of the material, and an internal proximity switch is triggered
Upon triggering the internal switch, the spindle enters pre-programmed feed rates
When material breakthrough occurs the switch is released, signifying that the hole has been completed
Tool is rapidly retracted and advances to the next hole in a pattern
Powerful Spindle Motors
Equipped with a powerful 11.2 kW (15 HP) spindle motor, the BDL-1250/9B to endure the most rugged drilling applications

MQL Lubrication
Eliminate maintenance and overhead costs associated with water mixtures and flood coolants
MQL Lubrication
Eliminate maintenance and overhead costs associated with water mixtures and flood coolants. The Peddinghaus BDL-1250/9B utilizes a modern vegetable oil based Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) system, which applies lubrication directly to the cutting surface. This "nearly dry" method of drilling offers benefits that are profound compared to yesterday's drill lubrication methods:
Eliminate the need to clean parts before painting, welding, and other processes
Remove health risks associated with chemical laden or slippery work conditions
Drilling lubricant becomes vapor; the vegetable oil based solution offers a safe alternative to chemical based water mixtures
Why Drill Not Punch?
Punching is limited to a 1:1 material thickness: hole diameter ratio
Why Drill Not Punch?
Punching has traditionally been recognized as an efficient and inexpensive form of hole creation. This method allows you to create slots, squares, and round holes in seconds with minimal mess, or maintenance.
Although punching is fast and affordable, it also creates small stress fractures within the material, which in some applications is unacceptable. Applications such as bridge work, or specialty industrial jobs, engineers and regulating personnel do not accept punched or thermally generated (plasma or oxy cut) holes.
Beyond engineering specifications, punching is limited to a maximum of 32 mm (1-1/4") thick material and a 1:1 material thickness to hole diameter ratio. This paired with the hardening of today's recycled materials proves challenging to traditional punching technology.
Roller Measurement
Peddinghaus' Roller Measurement allows for supreme flexibility in regards to material handling, and scrap savings
Roller Measurement
Peddinghaus' Roller Measurement allows for supreme flexibility in regards to material handling, and overall production capacity. This unique form of measurement drives the material through the machine with a powerful drive roller mechanism. Applying a set of precision encoders that track distance the material has traveled, the machine is able to quickly and accurately produce perfect parts.
Benefits of the Peddinghaus Roller Feed system can include:
Minimized footprint - store material outside, and allow material to easily pass through a small doorway through the exterior walls of your facility
No length restriction - stock length is dictated only by weight
Load profiles of all shapes and sizes one after another without any stop in production - no need to wait for the return or unload of a gripper carriage, no need to change clamping devices
Layout Marking/Scribing

Layout Marking
Automated layout marking can be achieved on the BDL-1250/9B using the drill spindles as marking tools. A short stroke is applied with the spindle while rotating to apply a small "dimple" or "pop-mark" that is easily visible to welding and layout personnel. Not only is this method of layout marking faster than carbide scribing, it can be more cost efficient by eliminating further mechanisms and consumables.
