Innovation for steel structure DANOBAT has collaborated in several projects with companies involved within the steel structure industry recently, which has allowed it to share experiences and identify needs that have arisen in the industry. situation and has helped it in the design and manufacturing of the iDP+ machine. The iDP+ is a revolutionary combina- tion of two technologies established in the field of the steel construction indus- try, such as thermal cutting and drilling, allowing it to perform both processes in a single machine. It is a machine capable of drilling, tapping, counter sinking and cutting scarf joints, bevels Drilling and cutting of tubes LIKESThas introduced a new tube drilling machine that it claims can drill and cut tubes/profiles at many different angles at a lower cost, taking less time and with a higher overall level of productivity. This has offered great analysis of the requirements of customers, the prospects in the long term and the importance of adapting to the current

and castellations and by thermal cutting in a single working cycle. In this way, this solution will allow the companies to be more efficient, maximise the working area and to reduce material manipula- tion time. It will also improve the quality of the final product.

can clamp tube sizes of 10" diameter, 20mm thickness although a bigger size is also acceptable. Automatic drilling operation allows for equal or unequal hole distance. Three axes travel and are driven by servo motors as an optional extra. Likest – Taiwan Email: sales@punching-machine.com Website: www.punching-machine.com

saw cutting equipment). This machine has a swiveling angle (L 30°, R 45°) for cutting. Its other type of machine is a 21 multi-spindle tube/pipe/drum drilling machine with NC control box combined HMI TFT LCD touch panel. If the user needs to rotate the tube to drill at different angles the machines can also make use of a rotation servo motor. The ability to use a hydraulic clamping system is also very important.

Likest is the first maker of pipe drilling machines for the oil industry in Taiwan. It has developed the three- axis (X/Y/Z) fully automatic tube drilling and cutting machine (with full automatic loading system with cold
