This advanced system is engineered for fabricators seeking to elevate productivity, reduce operational costs, and ensure uncompromising quality in every project. As an authorized partner, Mac-Tech provides not only the equipment but also comprehensive support from consultation through installation and beyond.
Unlock High-Volume Steel Drilling with Automated Precision
The Ocean Avenger Beam Drill Line Extended System is purpose-built for high-throughput steel fabrication environments. Designed to handle a broad range of structural steel profiles and sizes, this system automates the drilling of beams, channels, and other large components with remarkable precision. Its robust construction allows for continuous operation, supporting demanding schedules and large-scale projects without sacrificing quality.
Equipped with CNC controls and intelligent programming, the system ensures repeatable accuracy across hundreds or thousands of parts. Fabricators benefit from rapid setup times, intuitive software interfaces, and the ability to process diverse materials with minimal manual intervention. This automation not only accelerates production but also virtually eliminates errors associated with manual layout and drilling, positioning the Ocean Avenger as a strategic asset for shops aiming to outpace the competition.
Integrated Drill Sharpener: Extend Tool Life and Cut Costs
A standout feature of the Extended System is the seamlessly integrated drill sharpener. Dull drill bits are a leading cause of tool breakage, inconsistent hole quality, and increased consumable costs in steel fabrication. With the built-in sharpener, operators can quickly restore cutting edges to like-new condition without removing tooling from the system. This reduces downtime, maintains optimal drilling speeds, and ensures consistent hole quality throughout each production run.
By extending tool life and reducing the frequency of bit replacement, shops realize significant savings on consumables and maintenance. The sharpener is user-friendly, requiring minimal training, and supports a wide variety of standard drill sizes. For high-volume operations, this integration translates directly into lower per-part costs and a stronger bottom line.
Streamline Workflow with Rapid Material Handling
Efficient material handling is essential for maintaining high production rates. The Ocean Avenger Beam Drill Line Extended System features an optimized feed and positioning mechanism that moves heavy steel profiles smoothly and accurately through the drilling station. Hydraulic clamps and automated conveyors minimize manual handling, reducing the risk of operator injury and material damage.
This streamlined workflow allows operators to load raw stock, program the desired hole patterns, and let the system handle the rest. Changeovers between different profiles or job specifications are fast and efficient, making the system ideal for both short-run custom jobs and long-run production contracts. The result is a seamless transition from raw material to finished component, keeping projects on schedule and maximizing overall shop efficiency.
Achieve Consistent Accuracy for Demanding Fabrication Projects
Modern steel fabrication projects demand precise hole placement and tight tolerances. The Ocean Avenger system utilizes advanced servo-driven positioning and laser alignment technology to deliver consistent accuracy, even on complex or heavy sections. Integrated feedback sensors monitor performance in real time, automatically compensating for material variances or setup deviations.
Whether fabricating structural beams for commercial construction, bridges, or industrial frameworks, the system’s repeatable accuracy ensures every part meets engineering specifications. This level of quality control reduces waste, minimizes rework, and builds customer confidence—key advantages for fabricators competing for high-profile contracts.
Maximize Throughput and Minimize Downtime
Downtime is the enemy of profitability in high-volume fabrication. The Ocean Avenger Beam Drill Line Extended System is engineered for reliability, featuring rugged components, self-diagnostics, and easy-access service points. Routine maintenance tasks are simplified by the intuitive onboard interface, alerting operators to upcoming service needs before they impact production.
With its rapid cycle times and automated tool maintenance, the system keeps production moving at peak efficiency. For shops operating around the clock, optional remote monitoring and support services—facilitated by Mac-Tech—further reduce the risk of unscheduled outages. The outcome: more tons processed per shift and a dramatic reduction in costly production interruptions.

Lower Labor Costs Through Advanced Automation
Labor shortages and rising wage pressures are persistent challenges in the fabrication sector. The Ocean Avenger system addresses these issues by automating critical drilling and handling tasks, allowing a single operator to manage multiple machines or focus on higher-value activities. The intuitive controls and minimal manual intervention mean less training time for new staff and a reduced risk of operator error.
By reallocating skilled labor to more complex or strategic roles, shops can maintain high output without expanding headcount. This efficiency not only lowers direct labor costs but also enhances workplace safety by minimizing exposure to repetitive, hazardous tasks.
Boost Profit Margins with Reliable, Scalable Performance
Every minute saved and every error avoided contributes directly to the bottom line. The Ocean Avenger Beam Drill Line Extended System’s combination of speed, accuracy, and low maintenance requirements delivers a rapid return on investment. Shops benefit from reduced material waste, lower consumable costs, and the ability to quote jobs more competitively thanks to predictable production timelines.
As demand grows, the system’s scalable architecture allows for easy expansion—whether by integrating additional stations, adding automation modules, or upgrading software capabilities. Backed by Mac-Tech’s expert procurement and installation team, fabricators can confidently plan for future growth without risking disruption to ongoing operations.
Future-Proof Your Shop with Flexible System Expansion
Staying ahead in steel fabrication requires equipment that can adapt to new materials, project types, and industry standards. The Ocean Avenger Extended System is designed with modularity in mind, supporting a wide range of optional accessories and software upgrades. As customer requirements evolve, shops can integrate advanced features such as automated part marking, additional tooling, or expanded material handling capacity.
Mac-Tech’s partnership extends beyond the initial sale, offering ongoing training, technical support, and upgrade pathways to ensure your investment remains state-of-the-art. This future-ready approach empowers fabricators to respond quickly to market shifts and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
