Written by The FRAMECAD Team | Feb 16, 2021 9:19:43 PM

The FRAMECAD F325iT-L manufacturing system offers precision punching options for optimum productivity & industry-leading manufacturing versatility of trusses, walls, joists, mods & pods.

Driven by our commitment to continued innovation, and to help meet the growing needs of our customers and the requirements of the cold formed steel (CSF) construction market, our design engineers have reviewed and refined the F325iT-L, providing significantly increased design and manufacturing flexibility, unique to FRAMECAD.

Based on the industry-leading FRAMECAD F325iT, the F325iT-L includes 15 tooling options as standard, with the option to add another five. This increased functionality provides up to 20 advanced precision punching functions for the highest productivity and manufacturing versatility of roof trusses, walls, floor joists, mods and pods.

The F325iT-L produces profiles from 2.5" - 6" (63mm - 150mm), in steel up to 24 - 18 gauge (0.55mm - 1.2mm) thickness, for unrivalled production speed and accuracy.

Ideal for the construction of walls, floors and roofs for 1-3 level residential, modular and transportable units, and light commercial construction, FRAMECAD's F325iT-L manufacturing system can be either factory-based or transportable in a mobile factory.

Additional product features:

  • High line speed up to 9,450ft./hr (2880m/hr) results in the industry’s best framing and truss manufacturing output

  • An auto gauging system that automatically adjusts gauge range to increase overall productivity for steel thickness from 0.55 -1.2mm or 24 - 18 gauge steel

  • Includes hot climate hydraulic cooling system for high temperature operating environments

  • Smart internet connectivity provides cloud-based data reporting to enable real-time production management and technical diagnostics to improve efficiency.
