What to Look for When Buying Used Peddinghaus Equipment
Peddinghaus machines are built for continuous structural steel fabrication in demanding shop environments. Used units frequently have years of productive life remaining, but thorough inspection ensures full value from your investment.
On drill lines, inspect the spindle(s), tool changer, and measurement system. Test each drilling spindle for runout, bearing noise, and smooth operation. On multi-spindle models (Advantage-2, BDL-1250/9D), verify all spindles index and clamp correctly. Cycle the automatic tool changer through every position. Check the roller-feed measurement system for accuracy, as this affects hole placement on every beam.
On plate processors, verify drilling, plasma, and oxy-fuel functions. HSFDB plate processors combine drilling with thermal cutting. Test drill spindle condition and plasma torch height control. Check consumable wear, arc quality, and cut edge squareness. Verify CNC positioning accuracy of the gantry across the full table area.
On thermal cutting and coping machines, test torch systems and motion axes. On PeddiBot processors, verify the FANUC robot arm for smooth movement across all six axes. Test plasma ignition, oxy-fuel flow, and torch coupling. On the ABCM-1250 and Ocean Liberator, confirm torch alignment and cope profile accuracy against programmed dimensions.
On ironworkers and angle lines, check hydraulic systems and tooling wear. Peddinghaus ironworkers feature vertical slide guidance. Inspect punch and die condition, shear blade sharpness, and hydraulic cylinder seals. On Anglemaster and Clipper II angle lines, verify punch cycle time, shear accuracy, and CNC roller-feed positioning.
Peddinghaus CNC Beam Drill Lines
BDL-1250/9D
The flagship BDL-1250/9D is a nine-spindle CNC beam drill line delivering maximum throughput for high-volume fabricators. Nine independent drilling spindles (three per flange and three on web) eliminate repositioning and maximize holes-per-minute. Processes beams, columns, channels, angles, and plates with full carbide drilling capability.
Advantage-2, PeddiSubX-1120 & Peddi XDM-630
The Advantage-2 is a 3-spindle carbide beam drill line for mid-volume fabricators. The PeddiSubX-1120 adds sub-drilling capability. The Peddi XDM-630 combines carbide drilling, miter sawing, scribing, tapping, countersinking, and milling in one compact machine.
Ocean Avenger & Avenger+
The Ocean Avenger and Avenger+ are single-spindle CNC beam drill lines built by Peddinghaus exclusively for Ocean Machinery. Powered by 25 HP Siemens spindle motors with an 8-station automatic tool changer, these machines bring automated beam drilling to small and medium fabricators at accessible investment levels. They process beams, columns, channels, angles, and plates.
Peddinghaus Plate Processors & Angle Lines
HSFDB & FPB Plate Processors
The HSFDB-C (4-inch capacity) and HSFDB-B (3-inch capacity) are CNC plate processing systems combining drilling, plasma cutting, oxy-fuel cutting, and marking on a single machine. The FPB-1800 handles lighter plate work up to 1-1/4 inches. All models accept direct data imports from 3D steel detailing software.
Anglemaster & Ocean Clipper II
The Anglemaster series (643, 663, 863, HD) automates punching, shearing, nibbling, and marking of angle iron and flat bar stock. The Ocean Clipper II, built by Peddinghaus for Ocean Machinery, brings CNC angle processing to smaller shops with a compact footprint, 75-ton hydraulic punch, and 100-ton double-cut shear.
Peddinghaus Thermal Cutting, Saws & Ironworkers
PeddiBot & Beam Coping
The PeddiBot-1250 is a 6-axis FANUC robotic plasma and oxy-fuel processor for coping, cutting, bolt holes, weld prep, and layout marking on structural profiles. The ABCM-1250 is a 3-torch oxy-fuel beam coping machine. The Ocean Liberator is a 5-axis CNC robotic oxy-fuel beam coper built for smaller shops.
Band Saws & Ironworkers
Peddinghaus DG-series band saws (DG-1250, DG-1100, 510-DGA) deliver miter and straight-cut sawing for structural profiles. Peddinghaus ironworkers include the PeddiMax (140 ton), PeddiWorker (100 ton), and PeddiCat (55 ton), all featuring the proprietary vertical slide guidance system for precision punching, shearing, and notching.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Peddinghaus Machines
What is the relationship between Peddinghaus and Ocean Machinery?
Ocean Machinery (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is Peddinghaus's largest customer worldwide. Peddinghaus builds machines exclusively for Ocean at their Bradley, Illinois facility, including the Ocean Avenger drill line, Clipper II angle line, and Liberator beam coper. Ocean targets small-to-medium fabricators. Used machines may carry either brand name.
Are used Peddinghaus machines reliable?
Yes. Peddinghaus machines are hand-assembled in Bradley, Illinois with heavy-duty components built for continuous structural steel fabrication. Many ironworkers remain in service after 30+ years. CNC drill lines and plate processors with proper maintenance routinely deliver a decade or more of productive operation.
What software do Peddinghaus machines use?
Peddinghaus machines run Siemens-based CNC controls with proprietary Peddimat programming software. Peddimat accepts direct data imports from Tekla Structures, SDS/2, StruMIS, ProSteel 3D, and other steel detailing programs. Peddinghaus also offers Raptor 3D CAD/CAM software for advanced part inspection and modification.
What Peddinghaus models hold their value best?
BDL and Advantage-series beam drill lines, HSFDB plate processors, PeddiBot robotic cutters, and Anglemaster angle lines maintain strong resale values. Peddinghaus ironworkers are also highly sought after on the used market. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.
