Cantilever-type H Beam Steel Section Laser Processing Center
The 18m ultra-long workspace, 5-axis one-pass cutting / drilling / beveling / marking, 8-ton load capacity, ±0.03mm precision. Weld-ready results, 70% faster production, zero repositioning. Ideal for bridge, high-rise, heavy machinery structural fabrication.
Production Purpose
DW Series Cantilever-type Steel Laser Processing Center
The platform carrying the laser cutting head moves along the length of the steel profile with a large range of motion, while the steel profile remains fixed. This supports contour detection, enabling processing such as cutting, drilling, chamfering, and arc cutting of H-beams, curved steel, and channel steel profiles. This platform can perform functions such as drilling, cutting, grooving, and marking on steel materials. It supports bevel grooving for various joint types and is compatible with cutting based on TEKLA / Solidworks 3D modeling data files. The dates generates G-code, enabling seamless integration from design to production, efficiently completing drawing and layout tasks and significantly shortening production preparation time. It also supports nesting and material optimization, achieving material utilization rates greater than 99%, and minimizing material waste through material splicing.
Features and Advantages
DW Series Cantilever-type Steel Laser Processing Center
The cantilevered open structure allows for convenient mechanical adjustment and easy material feeding; it utilizes a heavy-duty machine tool structure, with all functional components such as the laser and water chiller mounted on the moving platform, moving along with the cutting head. This effectively avoids energy loss caused by excessively long optical fibers, ensuring the stability and high efficiency of laser cutting; the dual-station design allows for simultaneous cutting at one station while the other station is used for lifting and loading/unloading, saving loading and unloading time and achieving continuous and efficient processing of structural steel; the processing is flexible, allowing for both segmented and full-length processing.

Heavy-duty Machine Cantilever Structure
The Modular Heavy-duty Rail-type Bed Structure
The modular heavy-duty rail-type bed structure is the core cornerstone of Dowell Laser Cantilever-type Steel Section Laser Processing Center, designed to deliver unparalleled stability, durability and flexibility for high-intensity, high-precision metal processing scenarios—bringing tangible production value to your enterprise with hard-core structural advantages. Unlike ordinary lightweight bed structures that are prone to deformation and vibration during long-term operation, our modular heavy-duty rail-type bed is forged from high-quality thickened alloy steel, undergoing strict quenching and tempering heat treatment processes to eliminate internal stress, enhance structural rigidity and wear resistance, and ensure long-term dimensional stability even under 24-hour continuous high-load processing conditions. This robust structural design effectively suppresses vibration caused by high-power laser cutting and heavy-section steel loading, avoiding cutting errors and burrs, and laying a solid foundation for precise section steel beveling, flat plate beveling, square tube and round tube one-time forming processing.

All-in-one Laser Proceesing VS Traditional Processing
Dowell Laser H Beam Section Steel Laser Composite Processing Center has obvious and irreplaceable advantages compared with traditional steel section processing methods (flame cutting, plasma cutting, sawing, etc.), and the core differences are comprehensively compared as follows:
Comparison Item
Steel Section Laser Cutting
Traditional Processing
Required Equipment
Only one set structural steel laser cutting machine (a complete structural steel laser secondary processing line) to perform multiple processes: cutting, drilling, notching, welding hole creation, beveling, marking, scribing, etc.
Three-dimensional drilling machine, sawing machine, notching machine, beveling machine, plasma cutting machine, etc. (Manual assistance is still required for tasks such as powder coating and scribing.)
Labor Required
1-2 workers to load/unload materials and operate the machine.
5-6 workers to handle loading/unloading, material transfer, operating different machines, and manual marking/labeling.
Processing Efficiency
Average daily production (8 hours): 80-100 tons; approximately 4-5 times that of traditional methods.
Average daily production (8 hours): 20-30 tons.
Processing Accuracy
Using laser precision processing, the cutting accuracy is within 0.1mm; using laser line scanning measurement and compensation, a positioning error accuracy of 1-2mm is guaranteed;
Using the plasma cutting equipment has an accuracy of approximately 1mm, which is 10 times less precise than laser processing; manual marking with a tape measure has an accuracy error of 5-10mm.
Space Occupied
Linear dual-station system: approximately 2 * (2m * 13m) = 52m² (50-60m²)
The space occupied is approximately 2-3 times that of a steel profile cutting machine.
Material Transfer
Multiple processes completed in a single step, eliminating the need for material transfer.
Frequent transfers
Return on Investment
High initial investment, significant increase in yield; large initial investment, high later income.
Low initial investment, low yield; low initial investment, low later income.
Equipment Failure Rate
A machine that is mature in application, easy to operate, and has a low failure rate.
Drilling rigs, sawing machines, flame cutting, plasma cutting, and other various operations have multiple potential failure points; manual involvement makes it difficult to guarantee consistency.
Cost-effectiveness
Double the production capacity, smaller footprint, reduced labor costs, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and consistent quality; high long-term cost-effectiveness.
Low production capacity, large footprint, high labor costs, significant pollution, and inconsistent quality; low long-term cost-effectiveness.
Safety
True 3D five-axis machine tools ensure the laser always points to the material being processed, providing excellent safety! (Fake 3D five-axis machine tools have risks of laser divergence, uncontrollable direction, and unpredictable hazards); Easy operation, no need for material handling;
Multiple processes involve multiple risk points; repeated material handling increases the safety risks of manual operation.
Production Management
Secondary Processing Line: Automated production, processing task orders, production reports, work order reporting, MES system integration, production information management, complete set production.
Manual product inspection; document organization; manual data entry. Difficult to achieve digital and information-based management and complete set production.
Laser Bevel Cutting VS Traditional Bevel Cutting
Traditional bevel cutting methods rely heavily on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency and poor processing accuracy, as well as environmental problems such as noise and dust. In contrast, using Dowell laser bevel cutting technology, the dimensions are precise, the hole walls are smooth and perfectly vertical, mechanical marking is possible, and the process is clean and free of debris.
At the same time, when performing bevel cutting for processing, in order to ensure the strength of the weld, high requirements and high precision are needed for the bevel cut surface, and there should be no slag on the welding surface.
-
Manual Drilling
Inefficient, difficult to accurately position the holes, and requires frequent checking of drawings to determine the location.
-
Mechanical Drilling
Adds extra steps, repeated clamping is inefficient.
-
Plasma Cutting
Excessive heat concentration can easily lead to deformation of H-beams, resulting in excessively wide cuts and poor circularity.
