Industrial Fabrication Equipment

With a Durma press brake, have constant and complete power with the control unit’s simulation screen. Instantly monitor the bending position. The compatibility of the bending parts with the stroke and the dies are automatically handled by the control unit on condition that the material information is defined.

What size Durma press brake do I need?

The appropriate size depends on:
  • Material type and thickness (e.g., mild steel, aluminum, stainless)
  • Maximum bending length required (Durma machines range from 4′ to 20’+ / 1.2 m to 6 m)
  • Tonnage requirements (from 40 tons to 600+ tons)
A 10′ (3 m) 135-ton CNC hydraulic press brake is common for mid-volume operations.

What are the key features of Durma press brakes?

Durma press brakes typically include:
  • Delem or ESA CNC control systems (multi-axis)
  • Crowning systems for angle accuracy
  • Backgauge systems (2 to 6+ axes)
  • High-speed ram movement with fast return
  • Tooling compatibility (standard Euro or custom)

How accurate are Durma press brakes?

Durma machines achieve ±0.0004″ (±0.01 mm) repeatability on well-maintained systems using CNC-controlled hydraulic or electric mechanisms. Positioning and angle control are consistently accurate with dynamic crowning and advanced backgauge systems.

Bodor Laser Cutting Systems

Bodor Laser is the #1 sales volume provider of CNC fiber laser cutting solutions worldwide. Bodor’s fiber laser cutting systems are built for speed, precision, and reliability. Their laser manufacturing processes meet international standards such as CE, FDA, ISO9001, and SGS. We selected Bodor to partner with us because they meet Hornet’s quality, reliability, and performance standards.

What is the main difference between laser cutting and plasma cutting?

Laser cutting uses a highly focused beam of light (typically fiber or CO₂) to melt and vaporize material, delivering high precision and clean edges. Plasma cutting uses a superheated, electrically conductive gas to cut through metal. Plasma is generally faster and more cost-effective for thicker materials, while laser excels in fine detail and thin material cutting.

Which is better for cutting thick metal—plasma or laser?

Plasma cutting is typically better for thicker materials (e.g., over 1″ / 25 mm, and up to 2″ / 50 mm+ for mild steel), offering faster cut speeds and lower operating costs. Laser cutting can handle thicknesses up to about 1.25″ / 30 mm depending on power (e.g., 8–15 kW fiber), but cutting thicker materials becomes slower and more expensive.

How do I choose between fiber and CO₂ lasers?

  • Fiber lasers are ideal for cutting metal (carbon steel, stainless, aluminum, copper, brass), offering faster speeds, lower maintenance, and higher electrical efficiency.
  • CO₂ lasers are better for non-metals (wood, acrylic, plastics), but they are less efficient for metal cutting and have higher maintenance due to mirror alignment and gas systems.

MOD-WELD

Robot Welding Solutions

Increase your production with a pre-engineered robot welding system from Hornet Cutting Systems. Our machines give endless opportunities for easy setup and use – even if it’s your first robot. You can rest assure that the MOD-WELD is made for quality and productivity.

How does MOD-WELD improve production efficiency?

MOD-WELD increases productivity by offering:
  • Consistent weld quality with robotic accuracy
  • Reduced setup times with quick-change fixturing
  • Simultaneous multi-station operation (optional)
  • Seamless integration with MES/ERP systems for real-time data and traceability

Can the MOD-WELD System be customized for specific projects?

Absolutely. MOD-WELD is engineered for project-specific customization, including:
  • Custom jigs and fixtures
  • Specialty tooling
  • Software workflow integration (offline programming, path simulation)
  • Multi-zone workcells for simultaneous part loading/unloading

What kind of control system does MOD-WELD use?

MOD-WELD is typically outfitted with a CNC or HMI-based control system, offering:
  • Touchscreen interface
  • Weld path programming
  • Parameter libraries
  • Remote diagnostics and support
Robot-assisted versions use brands like FANUC for motion control.

What size Durma press brake do I need?

The appropriate size depends on:
  • Material type and thickness (e.g., mild steel, aluminum, stainless)
  • Maximum bending length required (Durma machines range from 4′ to 20’+ / 1.2 m to 6 m)
  • Tonnage requirements (from 40 tons to 600+ tons)
A 10′ (3 m) 135-ton CNC hydraulic press brake is common for mid-volume operations.

What makes MOD-WELD modular?

The MOD-WELD System uses a flexible base frame design that can accommodate:
  • Multiple welding heads (MIG, TIG, flux-core, etc.)
  • Adjustable part positioning fixtures
  • Swappable table lengths and working zones
  • Optional integration with plasma or laser cutting stations
This modularity ensures the system can scale with your operation and be reconfigured as product lines evolve.

What types of welding processes are supported?

MOD-WELD supports:
  • GMAW (MIG/MAG)
  • GTAW (TIG)
  • FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding)
  • SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) (optional for beam and pipe welding lines)
Automation packages include robotic torch manipulation with multi-axis controls for complex geometries.
