HDL Series CNC Horizontal Beam Drillers: High Space Efficiency & Production Line Integration
Manufactured directly at our 4,650 m² (~50,000 sq ft) facility in Hsinchu, Taiwan, the Big Stone HDL Series CNC 4- Axis Drilling & Milling Center is engineered for heavy structural steel, H-beams, and thick-walled tubes. Integrating a powerful 15 kW (20 HP) direct-drive spindle for carbide drilling, slot milling, M30 rigid tapping, and automatic marking, it saves over 50% to 60% floor space compared to conventional drill lines and directly conveys processed beams to downstream bandsaws for complete cutting line automation. Explore the flagship model: HDL-1000 CNC Single-Spindle 4-Axis Drilling & Milling Center.
Limited Floor Space? HDL Horizontal Center vs. Traditional 3-Axis Drill Lines
| Evaluation Criteria | Big Stone HDL Horizontal CNC Center | Traditional Heavy 3-Axis Drill Lines |
|---|---|---|
| Shop Floor Footprint | Compact layout (saves 50%–60% plant floor space) | Extensive layout (requires over 25m dedicated conveyor footprint) |
| Downstream Sawing Integration | Conveys processed beams directly to bandsaws for auto slicing | Often standalone layout with complicated crane transfer |
| Spindle & Tool Changer | 15 kW Direct Drive (3,000 RPM) + 5-Tool ATC (3s change) | Complex 3-spindle gear trains with high maintenance downtime |
| Capital Payback (ROI) | Accessible CapEx and simple upkeep, 12–18 months payback | Expensive machine acquisition and costly floor foundation works |
3-Step Standard Shop Floor Operation
- Laser Edge Finding (0.1 mm / 0.004 in. Accuracy): Non-contact laser sensor detects beam boundaries automatically, eliminating manual tool zeroing.
- BT40 Auto Tool Changer (3-Second Fast Indexing): 5-station ATC switches automatically between Ø40 mm (Ø1.57 in.) carbide drills, end mills, rigid taps, and scribers.
- Rigid Feed & Spray Mist Cooling: Z-axis 200 mm (7.9 in.) stroke paired with hydraulic spray mist lubrication removes heat and chips rapidly.
Pair your HDL center with Big Stone high-precision saws, such as the 5015DMA CNC Double Miter Bandsaw or CNC Double Miter Saw Series. Direct factory technical consultation from Hsinchu total plant (4,650 m² / ~50,000 sq ft). Phone: +886-3-5931688, Email: info@bigstone. com.tw.
