F-POWER Building & Construction Solutions: Redefining Structural Steel and Facade Fabrication
In an era of soaring skyscrapers and sustainable urban development, precision and efficiency in structural steel and facade manufacturing are non-negotiable. F-POWER’s WS67K Multi-Axis Precision Press Brake delivers unmatched capabilities for producing load-bearing beams, seismic-resistant trusses, and architecturally intricate curtain walls. Combining servo-driven power, AI-enhanced accuracy, and eco-conscious design, F-POWER empowers contractors and fabricators to meet global building codes while slashing material waste and energy costs.
1. Technical Advantages for Structural Steel & Facades
a) High-Tonnage Precision (±0.05mm Repeatability)
The WS67K handles heavy-duty bending for:
- I-Beams & H-Sections: Up to 500-ton capacity for ASTM A992 steel (yield strength 50–65 ksi).
- Seismic Trusses: AI angle correction ensures ±0.05mm accuracy for earthquake-resistant joints.
- Curtain Wall Mullions: Complex 3D bends in 6063-T6 aluminum with Class-A surface finishes.
b) Material Versatility & Efficiency
- High-Strength Steel (HSS): Adaptive crowning compensates for springback in S355JR/EN 10025 grades.
- Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP): Low-pressure servo bending prevents delamination of PE cores.
- Stainless Steel Cladding: Mirror-finish bends for architectural facades (RA <0.8μm).
c) Energy-Saving Production
- 30% Lower Energy Use: Bosch Rexroth servo hydraulics reduce power consumption vs. conventional presses.
- IoT-Driven Optimization: F-POWER’s iFabrix platform schedules batch production to minimize idle time, cutting CO2 emissions by 1.5 tons/year per machine.
2. Industry Applications & Case Studies
a) High-Rise Steel Framing (Dubai Skyscraper Project)
- Challenge: Fabricate 20-meter H-beams with 0.1mm flatness for wind load compliance.
- Solution: WS67K’s 6-axis CNC control and real-time thickness monitoring.
- ROI: 25% faster production vs. AMADA HG, 12% material savings.
b) Seismic-Resistant Trusses (Tokyo Tower Retrofit)
- Challenge: Bend 40mm-thick S355J2+N steel with 0.05mm joint tolerances.
- Solution: AI springback compensation and 4+1 axis precision.
- ROI: Eliminated 100% rework costs, meeting JIS G 3106 standards.
c) Architectural Facades (New York LEED-Certified Tower)
- Challenge: Produce 5,000+ stainless steel cladding panels with zero surface defects.
- Solution: WS67K’s polished tooling and adaptive pressure control.
- ROI: Achieved RA 0.6μm finish, 30% faster than Trumpf TruBend.
3. Compliance & Sustainability
- Global Standards: ASTM A6, EN 1090-2, and ISO 9013 (laser cutting).
- LEED Compliance: 92% recyclable tooling and energy-efficient production support green building certifications.
- Safety: CE-certified guards, <75 dB noise levels (OSHA compliant).
