Structural Steel

Most structural steel fabrication orders require a number of finishing steps, including cutting to size, punching and rolling. Ernest-Spencer utilizes top of the line structural steel machines in all areas to get the job done with precision and efficiency.

Advanced Robotic Plasma Cutting System

Our advanced robotic plasma steel cutting solution, the Prodevco PCR42, combines CNC plasma cutting and torch technology with fully-automated robotics and laser measuring systems for best-in-class structural steel cutting, that delivers the perfect blend of speed, precision, and complete 7-axis operation.

  • Metal Profiles: S-Shape, W-Shape, HP-Shape, C-Shape, MC-Shape, L-Shape, ST-Shape, P-Shape, M-Shape, PL-Shape, HSS-Rectangle, HSS-Square

  • Capabilities Include: Copes, Notches, Holes, Slots, Compound Angle Cuts, Weld Prep (45 degrees), Beam Splitting, Scribing, Marking (all 4 sides)

  • Capacities: I-Beam up to 48″, HSS Rectangle up to 20″ x 24″

Tube Laser System

Utilizing solid-state laser technology, the TruLaser Tube 5000 Fiber can handle a wide range of materials, from mild steel and stainless steel to non-ferrous metals. Beefy capacity allows the machine to work with heavy, thick-walled tube stock. Virtually all material handling and cutting functions are fully automated.

  • Laser Power: 4 kW.

  • Material Thickness (Mild Steel): Up to 10mm

  • Material Thickness (Stainless Steel): Up to 6mm

  • Material Thickness (Aluminum): Up to 6mm

  • Maximum Tube Diameter: 170mm (round)

  • Maximum Part Weight: 25 kg/m

Iron Worker System

The Ernest-Spencer production floor utilizes multiple ironworker systems with varying capabilities, including the Piranha P90 (90 ton) and P50 (50 ton). The ironworker functions as a flexible fabrication cell, providing a range of metalworking functions in a single workstation. This helps reduce lead times on "hot" projects and custom orders.

  • Capabilities Include: Cutting to Length, Hole and Slot Punching, Notching, and Forming

  • Maximum Impression Force: 90 tons

  • Maximum Material Thickness: 1"

  • Versatile one-stop processing for many iron working tasks

Cutoff Sawing

We offer both automated and manual cutoff sawing capabilities.

  • Automated Vertical Cutoff Saw

  • CNC controls and programmable staging

  • Efficient, self-feeding table

  • Cutting Accuracy: +/- , 015"

  • Maximum Material Size:

  • 20"H x 20"W x 60'L

  • Quick changeover from job to job

  • Wide range of materials

  • Large Horizontal Structural Saw

  • Maximum Material Profile: 25" x 30"

Shaped Steel Roll

Our structural steel roll offers versatility in material types and shapes. With our variable speed 3-roll drive system we can roll almost any small to medium-sized structural steel stock.

  • Minimum Inside Radius: 8"

  • Maximum Radius: Unlimited

  • Materials: Angle, Pipe, Round Tube, Square Tube, Solid Round and others

  • Capable of rolling custom profiles and extrusions with special tooling
