Robotic Welding & CNC Cutting for Steel Structures
Robotic vs. Manual Welding
Leading-edge steel fabricators are switching to PCL Robotic Systems to solve labor shortages and quality gaps.
| Factors | Manual | PCL Robot |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Limited by stamina | 3x Faster (24/7) |
| Consistency | Varies by skill | 100% Precision |
| Safety | Fumes & Heat | Zero Risk |
| Labor | Hard to find | 1 Person / 3 Units |
| Waste | 5-10% Loss | Minimal (<2%) |
Versatile Welding Modes
One platform, multiple possibilities. Choose the tech that fits your structural requirements.

Steel Structure Solutions FAQ
Does the machine work with Tekla?
Yes. PCL CNC systems import DSTV files exported from Tekla Structures, Advance Steel and other BIM software, so H-beams and sections are cut with their copes, holes and bevels without redrawing. Plate parts are imported as DXF files from AutoCAD.
What is the maximum plate cutting thickness?
It depends on the process. Our gantry plasma machines cut steel plate up to about 50 mm, depending on the plasma source. For thicker carbon steel, oxy-fuel torches on the same gantry take over. Tell us your thickest plate and we will size the configuration.
Can it cut weld-ready bevels?
Yes. Our beam, pipe and plate cutters can be fitted with bevel heads for V, Y and K bevels up to ±45°. Parts come off the machine ready for fit-up, which matters in high-rise and bridge fabrication.
Is on-site installation provided?
Yes. Our engineers install and commission the machine at your factory and train your operators in programming, cutting and maintenance, so production starts as quickly as possible.
