PUL1235/3
The CNC 3-sides punching machine PUL1235/3 serves as a dedicated, automated production line specifically engineered for processing truck chassis U-beams. Designed to transform raw, heavy-duty longitudinal beams into assembly-ready components, this equipment manages the entire workflow—from magnetic feeding and precise positioning to simultaneous three-sided punching and automated unloading. When standing next to the machine, operators experience the rhythmic, powerful impact of the hydraulic punches cleanly piercing thick steel plates, leaving smooth, burr-free edges. It offers commercial vehicle fabricators an industrial-grade solution that balances the demand for rapid, large-scale output with the flexibility required for specialized, small-batch frame modifications.
Traditional U-beam processing often struggles with manual handling bottlenecks, inconsistent hole alignment, and extended setup durations. The PUL1235/3 directly resolves these operational hurdles by introducing fully synchronized automation and exact dimensional control. By minimizing manual intervention, facilities can accelerate their throughput by up to 50% while simultaneously reducing the physical strain on the workforce. The resulting efficiency makes this punching line a critical asset for heavy vehicle manufacturers aiming to scale their output without compromising on structural integrity or dimensional accuracy.

From the initial magnetic pickup of the raw steel beam to the final automated stacking of the punched component, the entire operational cycle executes without manual lifting or positioning. This automatic punching line drastically curtails human error and ensures that the first beam of the shift matches the exact specifications of the last. For visual confirmation of this continuous workflow, we provide comprehensive video demonstrations showing the machine in action—capturing the rapid U-beam in-feed, the simultaneous three-sided high-speed punching sequence, and the controlled out-feed, allowing you to witness the raw production capacity firsthand.
Maintaining strict tolerances is critical for vehicle safety. This machine achieves an X-direction hole spacing tolerance of ±0.3mm over 2000mm (and ±0.5mm over 12000mm), alongside a Y-direction group hole tolerance of ±0.3mm. Guided by sensitive Balluff linear sensors, the positioning remains steadfast even when handling massive 12-meter workpieces. This exceptional hole alignment directly translates to significant end-product value during final assembly. Precise hole placement ensures that chassis components align flawlessly on the assembly line, eliminating the need for forced fits or manual re-drilling, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength and assembly yield of the finished trucks.
Configured with 18 movable web modules, 21 main web modules (including 5 sets of Φ25), and 6 fixed/movable flange modules, the system easily adapts to varying U-beam dimensions. It handles punching diameters ranging from the basic plate thickness up to Φ60mm on the web and Φ23mm on the flange. To further optimize operational uptime, the equipment features a quick tool change design and an automatic thin-oil lubrication system. This combination drastically reduces maintenance complexity and minimizes machine downtime during product changeovers, making it highly efficient for facilities managing multiple, distinct chassis profiles in a single day.
Speed and power converge to maximize daily output. When processing a standard 12-meter U-beam requiring approximately 300 holes, the complete punching cycle concludes in roughly 7 minutes. Driven by rapid X and Y-axis movements reaching speeds up to 30 meters per minute, the parallel processing capabilities ensure that heavy fabrication schedules are met consistently without sacrificing dimensional integrity.
Handling heavy steel requires robust mechanics. The integrated magnetic feeding and downloading device utilizes 10 powerful electromagnets, each delivering 2kN of suction force, to securely grip and transfer the metal. Paired with a middle manipulator moving at 40m/min, the system guarantees smooth, vibration-free transitions of the workpieces, safely supporting finished material stacking heights up to 500mm for streamlined forklift retrieval.
The longevity and precision of the PUL1235/3 rely on an architecture built from globally recognized, industrial-grade parts. The operational brain is powered by the Siemens ONE CNC system and driven by responsive Siemens servo motors from Germany. Precision feedback is handled by German Balluff linear sensors, while the heavy mechanical loads glide smoothly on HIWIN linear guide rails from Taiwan, China. Pneumatic actuation is managed by reliable FESTO components. This premium component selection guarantees that the machine withstands the harsh, continuous-duty cycles typical of heavy metal fabrication environments.
Transparency in our manufacturing process is a cornerstone of our factory strength. Before any unit leaves our facility, it undergoes exhaustive process control checks, including a 100-hour continuous punching trial to verify thermal stability, hydraulic pressure consistency, and sensor accuracy under load. Our robust manufacturing capacity ensures we can fulfill large-scale fleet equipment orders strictly on schedule. This rigorous approach is validated by our extensive client cases and partnerships with globally recognized commercial vehicle and heavy-duty truck manufacturers. Their continued reliance on our machinery serves as a real-world endorsement of the equipment’s durability and our commitment to ISO-certified manufacturing standards.
Engineered specifically for processing truck chassis longitudinal beams, this machinery supports the structural foundation of light, medium, and heavy-duty commercial transport vehicles. It seamlessly accommodates the mainstream chassis designs required by major automotive brands, ensuring rapid throughput for high-demand production lines.
The system effortlessly handles the thick, high-tensile U-beams utilized in the frames of buses, lorries, and specialized utility vehicles. By maintaining strict tolerances, it meets the rigorous industry requirements for load-bearing structural components where absolute precision is non-negotiable.
For facilities focused on volume, this equipment serves as the ideal backbone for mass-producing heavy-duty truck frames. The consistent repeatability of hole positions ensures that subsequent assembly stages—such as riveting and bolting cross-members—proceed without alignment delays.
Beyond standard production, we offer customized CNC solutions tailored to your specific operational constraints. Whether you require adaptations for non-standard U-beam dimensions, specialized hole patterns for new vehicle prototypes, or modifications to fit a unique workshop layout, the system adapts to small-batch, multi-variety fabrication. This flexibility aggressively supports new product development cycles for forward-thinking automotive manufacturers.
