Applications in steel construction
The Peddimax No 1 is a combined steel section shear with an integrated punching machine and notching station for multi-stage section preparation. It shears, punches and notches, so that beam connections and section ends can be prepared in a single workflow.
Typical applications
- Shearing flat, round and angle steel to length
- Punching flange and web for bolted joints
- Notching section ends for beam connections
- Preparing gusset plates, cleats and connection parts
- Preparing steel construction sections for assembly in one machine pass
Which businesses use it
Used in steel and metal fabrication companies that consolidate section preparation from cutting through punching to notching at a single station.
Frequently asked questions
What does notching mean in steel construction?
In notching, part of the flange or web is cut away at a section end so that beams can be cleanly connected to other sections. The notching station carries out this step directly on the combination machine.
Which operations does the machine cover?
It combines shearing, punching and notching in one machine. This allows cutting to length, hole patterns for bolted joints and section connections to be prepared without moving the workpiece between several machines.
Which sections is the machine intended for?
It is designed for the preparation of structural, flat, round and angle steel. Which cross-sections can actually be machined depends on the tooling and the equipment of the respective stations.
