Key Features
PCR51 Features
Standard features that set this machine apart in demanding manufacturing environments.
Precision & Performance
- Three independent spindle drill heads with sub-axis positioning for simultaneous 3-face drilling, even when holes are not aligned
- Pinch roller feeding with rack and pinion positioning for precise material handling and measurement
Ease of Operation
- Integrated drilling and robotic plasma coping in one beam line — eliminates separate drill and cope stations
- Automatic tool changer with up to 3 tool positions per side for drilling, milling, tapping, countersinking, layout marking, and centrepoint marking
- 3D vision laser measuring system for fast, accurate material dimension detection — compensates automatically for variations
Cutting Capability
- Double miter plasma cutting from −45° to +65° for complex weld preparation and compound angle cuts
- 4-face processing on HSS — cuts slots, holes, copes, and markings on all faces of square and rectangular tubing

10-axis three-spindle CNC beam drill line
3 ADM Venera
The Akyapak 3 ADM Venera represents the latest evolution in CNC beam drilling technology, combining three independent high-speed spindle units with integrated BYRED software for programming-free drilling, cutting, and milling operations. Each spindle operates across a 500 mm sub-axis range, enabling simultaneous multi-side processing of H-beams, channels, angles, and plates without repositioning the workpiece. The Venera edition adds fully automated sensor-driven material handling, magnetic length measurement, and laser alignment — reducing operator involvement and maximising throughput. Available from ACM in Cambridge, Ontario with full installation, training, and service support.
10-axis three-spindle CNC beam drill line
3 ADM 1200
The Akyapak 3 ADM 1200 is a production-grade CNC beam drilling line equipped with three servo-driven spindle units that process structural profiles from all three sides simultaneously. A 500 mm sub-axis on each spindle allows multiple holes, slots, and marks to be completed along the beam without feeding the material forward — significantly reducing cycle times on repetitive patterns. Built with Mitsubishi and Siemens components, the 3 ADM 1200 handles drilling, milling, tapping, countersinking, and scribe marking in a single automated pass. ACM provides this line from our Ontario facility with commissioning, operator training, and dedicated after-sales support.
7-axis three-spindle CNC beam drill line
3 ADM Eco
The Akyapak 3 ADM Eco delivers three-spindle CNC beam drilling at an accessible price point for fabricators who need to stay competitive without the capital outlay of a full 10-axis system. All three drill heads process independently on each side of the profile, and the material repositions automatically after each horizontal operation. While the Eco omits the sub-axis traversal of the full 3 ADM, its high-speed spindles maintain the same drilling diameter range and BT 40 tooling compatibility. ACM supplies the 3 ADM Eco from Cambridge, Ontario with full installation, commissioning, and ongoing technical support.
