Automation

Pacific Steel Constructions has been providing steel structures to the building and construction
industries since 2002, specialising in complex projects where expertise is demanded.
We are proud to now offer automated precision-engineered steel fabrication and processing
services to the manufacturing industry, with the Zeman Steel Beam Assembler (SBA), with
support from our Daito DNF1050 Beamline and Kraftech X-Calibre plasma coping line.

automated steel fabrication

Our Zeman SBA

We will work with you to understand your steel fabrication needs. We can handle processing, cutting, assembling, welding, quality control, delivery and can even explore site installation options if required. Pacific Steel is one of only a select few fabricators across Australia that can provide contract structural steel processing using robotic technology.

Steel Automation Services

By contracting your workshops steel processing to us, you will benefit from time-savings, increased accuracy, costeffectiveness and unrivalled quality. You can now improve your workshop schedule, increase production capacity and have your current skill labour concentrate on steel items outside the limitations of the Zeman SBA.

Automate your structural steel fabrication process with Pacific Steel.

What this means for you:

More cost-effective than manual fabrication.	Increased precision in every phase.	High-accuracy, error-free production.
Reduced manhours means your workshop can now win more and do more without increasing your workshop’s skilled headcount or warehouse footprint.	Now, dimensionally accurate positioning and correctly oriented fitup of the add-on parts is something you can take for granted. Never before, components are aligned at angles, and with no need for pre-assembly.	Production data is imported directly from your CAD system program (Tekla Structures/Advanced Steel/AutoCAD), there is no risk of human error in translating data or misinterpretations, by components being accidentally confused, or by other human error.
Low labour costs.	Time-savings.
Thanks to the high degree of automation, the SBA line needs very little manpower.	Faster than any human worker ever could, Pacific Steel can fabricate steel elements in record time. The robot systems we have put in place will execute your projects much faster and at far lower cost.

The benefits of engineering with robotic accuracy

Computers controlled robot arms execute the CAD engineering drawings 1:1, without errors, and at record speed.
The components are delivered on a conveyor system.
A laser scanner accurately recognises the required components.
Robots pick, fit and weld the components according to the required quality and without error.

The SBA covers an amazingly wide production range

The SBA can handle all common beam formats including:

Member Depths: $150-1100\text{mm}$
Member Widths: $75-500\text{mm}$
Member Lengths: $3000-18,000\text{mm}$
Rolled Sections: including UB, UC, RHS and SHS
Welded Plate Girders: including WS and WC
Tapered Beams
