Python X CNC beam cutting line

Python X CNC Beam Cutting Line

Our Python X CNC beam cutting line is the workhorse of our fabrication shop. This automated system handles wide-flange beams, channels, angles, and HSS sections with precision cutting, drilling, and marking — all from data directly exported by our SDS2 detailing department. No manual layout, no templates, no errors.

The Python X processes members up to 60 feet in length, performing cope, notch, mitre, slot, and hole drilling in a single setup. This eliminates multiple handling steps and dramatically reduces production time while improving accuracy.

Service Overview:

  • CNC coping, notching, and mitre cutting
  • Automated hole drilling and marking
  • Members up to 60 feet in length
  • Direct SDS2-to-machine data transfer
  • Single-setup processing eliminates rehandling

Customer Benefits:

  • Faster turnaround on complex beam connections
  • High repeatability — every piece matches the model
  • Reduced labor cost through automation
  • Eliminates manual layout errors
  • Faster project schedules
  • CNC beam cutting
  • Fabricated beam connections

Precision From Model to Finished Piece

Our detailing team creates the 3D SDS2 model, which generates the NC code for the Python X directly. This digital thread — from model to machine — ensures every cope, slot, and hole matches the design exactly. The result is steel that fits perfectly in the field, reducing erection time and eliminating costly rework.
