PLATE PROCESSING
Peddinghaus Plate Processor
A Peddinghaus plate processor, such as our HSFDB2500 model, performs complex steel fabrication by integrating drilling, milling, tapping, countersinking, scribing, and thermal cutting (plasma or oxy-fuel) on a single machine.
These machines reduce labor and improve efficiency by handling material and performing multiple operations, including advanced common-line and edge-start nesting and precise bevel cutting, eliminating the need for separate workstations and post-processing. This fantastic machine and our expert operators allow us to handle high-volume, heavy-plate processing, utilizing sophisticated software and features like automatic tool changers to increase productivity and minimize waste. At Trinity Steel, we value your time and your dollar, and by utilizing top-of-the line equipment, we turn our efficiencies into your savings.
benefits

Precision machining and marking maintain part identity throughout the fabrication process.
Enhanced Safety
Integrated material handling minimizes operator exposure. Allowing us to work smarter and safer.
Key Features and Capabilities
Integrated Operations: One machine performs drilling, milling, tapping, countersinking, scribing, and thermal cutting.
Heavy Plate Handling: Machines can handle thick plates, our model HSFDB2500 can process up to 2.5 inches thick.
Automated Material Handling: These systems feature material handling to load plates safely, increasing operator safety and reducing reliance on cranes.
Advanced Cutting: They incorporate high-definition plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, with the ability to bevel edges up to 45 degrees.
Sophisticated Tooling: An automatic tool changer allows for rapid switching between drilling, milling, and tapping tools.
Precision Beveling: Modern plasma technology enables high-speed, precise bevel cutting, which eliminates manual grinding.
Intelligent Software: The Peddinghaus SDS nesting software optimizes part placement to reduce material scrap.
Nesting Technologies: Features include common-line cutting and edge-start nesting, which eliminate redundant torch starts and maximize material utilization.
Automated Marking: Equipped with carbide part marking and stamping units to permanently mark parts with piece information.
Quality Control: Laser edge detection and infrared tool measurement systems ensure accuracy and prolong tool life.
