Structural Steel Machines

Structural steel machines cut and drill steel frames including H-shaped steel.

Structural steel such as rectangular steel and H-shaped steel are often used in large structures, including buildings and bridges, that require high strength and durability. AMADA’s lineup of structural steel machines covers essential structural steel processing, including the core cutting and drilling machines for these materials, as well as beveling & scallop cutting machines, shot blast machines, and others.

Where our structural steel machines are used

    Urban spaces

    Most of the large structures that occupy our urban spaces use large amounts of steel frame. This is a material with excellent strength and durability that can be processed in a factory before assembly on-site, which shortens the construction period. AMADA’s structural steel machines are used in these steel frame processing factories.

    Industrial plants

    Industrial complexes such as petrochemical and chemical plants are built using H-shaped, C-channel, and other forms of structural steel.

    Steel frame processing

    This is the job of processing the H-shaped and other forms of structural steel used in a wide range of structures, from high-rise buildings and towers to apartment buildings, schools, factories, warehouses, and bridges, so that they match the specifications of the construction plan. This means, for instance, cutting them to the required length and drilling holes for bolts. After processing is completed, the steel is delivered to the construction location for on-site assembly. Recent technological advances have led to increased demand for laser processing, which realizes greater speed and precision.

      High-rise buildings

      The H-shaped and other forms of structural steel that make up the frame of high-rise buildings are processed with band saws for cutting and drilling machines for boring holes, while combination machines are used to execute both processes with a single unit.

      Bridges

      As with buildings, the structural steel that is used for the frames of bridges is processed using machinery such as band saws for cutting and drilling machines for boring holes, with combination machines for executing both processes with a single unit.

      Among the machines used here to cut and make holes in small-sized structural steel are hole-drilling and cutting machines and combination drilling and cutting machines for small-sized structural steel.
