The crown jewel of every automated steel factory

Power and Precision
With just one worker on the floor, this machine can process 13 beams in an 8 hour shift. We know because a customer in Japan came to us with the challenge and we beat their expectations.
Design
Each SBA Conti line is customized to your specific needs. In-feed systems with automatic beam straightening, built to fit your workflow. Designed to handle the toughest jobs, we challenge you to give us a beam we can’t finish.
Built by hand in Austria with an outstanding attention to detail.


Available in three sizes
The SBA Conti’s design is chosen by fabricators running a plant with continuous material flow. It allows for easy integration in existing beam handling and can accommodate high output demands for welded structural steel.
SBA Conti’s design consists of only one handling robot. To further increase the output an additional welding robot can be added (SBA Conti+) and is also available in a double-line configuration (SBA2 Conti+), our flagship model, which features up to four welding robots for the maximum troughput.
