Beam punch lines are a significant part of our business. It is important to remember the economics of punching verses drilling. Punching a hole can be up to 4 times faster, and at a fraction of the tooling cost. Punching also offers the ability to have shaped holes, such as slots. Our 115 ton (standard) punches have the strength to handle most of the fabricator’s needs and materials up to 1" in thickness.
The BFC-530 comes with the same material handling options as our drilling and coping systems. This allows easy integration to an existing or new line. Options such as dual-gag, for varying hole sizes, or double-punch for punching two holes at once in repeating hole patterns found in rack manufacturing and solar work.
One of our latest features is the 'Slug Sucker' for the automatic removal of slug holes from the beam on our dual-gag and double-punch.
- Single, Dual-gag and Double-punch options
- Tandem straight and miter saw options
- Material processing up to 1" inch thick
- Material handling options for various weights and capacities
- Stamp-style part marking option that withstands galvanizing and paint

The BFC-530 remains one of the fastest machines to process holes in structural steel shapes. With the advantage of using inexpensive punch and die tooling, it saves on costs per hole to produce parts. This system is one of our best built machines for decades of hard work, high-speed production and profit.
