Flange Production for
Pre-Engineered Building Systems
These machines are to produce flanges for welded beams. The material is butt welded end to end to allow for continuous processing of the material. The function of the machine is to process flat bar or plate from 4” to 12” in width and 3/16” to 1” in thickness. The machine will have a 40’ long out-feed that will discharge the material to one side of the out-feed conveyor. Optional longer out-feeds are available. The standard machine consists of a 40’ long powered in-feed conveyor (standard), squaring shear (for accurate weld alignment), one single punch station (optional), one double punch station (optional), a weld milling cutter, sub-arc auto welding station (optional), hydraulic power unit and a single-cut “cut to length” shear. All components are mounted on a steel base, complete with servo material positioning wheel, material lift rollers and centering clamps. Material handling systems are also available for loading material on to the in-feed.
Features:
- Squaring Shear for accurate welding alignment
- Sub-arc welding station for continuous material
- Milling station to remove weld
- Single and Dual Punch options
- Clip location marking option
- Alpha-Numeric Part Marking option
- Single-Cut shear for cut-to-length
- In-feed loading options

The Flange Line control system has an easy to use interface. As the machine runs, the status of each part or operation changes in real time. A part list dialog can be displayed to show which parts have been completed or which operations are remaining. The Windows controller can be easily networked for downloading of parts from the office or by most drafting and design programs. Parts can also be easily programmed at the machine, even while parts are being run.
