Daito CUD / GTR CNC Drilling and Sawing Beam Line
CNC carbide drilling and high-speed double-mitre band sawing
The Daito CUD / GTR Tandem Line integrates three-spindle CNC drilling with automatic double-mitre bandsaw cutting. Both machines operate simultaneously from a common program, combining drilling, milling, tapping, marking and sawing in one automated line. Designed for structural steel fabricators and processors, the system handles beams, channels, angles and hollow sections, with options for coping, bevelling and automated material handling.
Key features
Tandem Drilling and Sawing
The CUD drill and GTR saw operate simultaneously from the same production program. Drilling continues while the saw cuts the previous section, completing two processes within one automated material flow.
Flexible Line Configurations
The preferred tandem configuration integrates drilling and sawing into one automated production line. Split-line arrangements are also available, allowing the drilling machine and bandsaw to operate separately. Daito systems can be configured to suit specific factory layouts, budgets, material flow and production requirements, with options for automated handling and additional processing equipment.
Independent Travelling Spindles
Independent top, left and right drill heads move within their own working zones. Holes are drilled without repeatedly repositioning and reclamping the section, reducing non-cutting time between operations.
Automatic Tool Changers
Each of the three drilling units has its own automatic tool changer for drilling, milling, tapping and marking tools from 8 to 50 mm. Mixed hole sizes and machining operations run from the program without manual tool changes.
Automatic Double-Mitre Saw
The GTR saw frame swivels automatically to 45 degrees one way and 60 degrees the other, cutting 600 mm at 45 degrees and 350 mm at 60 degrees on the 1000 (800 and 400 mm on the 1300). Straight and opposing mitre cuts are completed without turning the section or setting the angle by hand.
Controlled Material Positioning
Infeed and outfeed pinch rollers move the section through the drilling and sawing stations. The programmed position is maintained through both operations while web and flange supports stabilise the material.
Automatic Offcut Handling
The short-piece discharger removes trim cuts and short offcuts while the line continues operating. The last-cut gripper supports the remaining material through the final cut and reduces manual clearing around the saw.
Chip Removal Before Sawing
A chip sweeper removes drilling swarf from the section before it reaches the saw. This prevents loose chips from entering the cut and damaging the bandsaw blade teeth.
Options
- Scribing and marking tools for the automatic tool changers
- Infeed and outfeed roller lengths to suit
- Material handling and split-line buffer tables
Why fabricators choose Daito
- Made in Japan. Daito-Seiki designs and builds its machines in Japan, and it shows in the machining, the fit and the electrical work.
- Reliability. Daito machines are built for continuous production, with long periods between faults and less unplanned downtime over the life of the machine.
- Straightforward to run. Operators are productive in days, not weeks. The control is simple and does what the job needs.
- Built around the operator. Design decisions are made for the person running the machine, not for the brochure.
