Six processes | automatic operation | higher throughput
Replace multiple structural-steel operations with one coordinated production line.
The U10 Pro concept brings the main H-beam preparation stages together so material can move from stock loading through hole cutting, notch forming, bevel preparation, profile separation and sorted unloading without being transferred between several independent machines.
Less handling and sorting time
Automatic loading and length-based unloading are intended to reduce routine handling and secondary material distribution.
Higher production efficiency
A connected process can reduce waiting between operations and shorten the route from structural drawing to finished component.
Fully automatic operation
Move H-beam stock from loading to sorted finished workpieces with minimal intervention.
Bodor describes the U10 Pro as an automatic line from the transition area through processing and unloading. The loading process is published as completing in under 20 seconds for suitable stock, while finished workpieces can be sorted according to length.
Automatic loading
Introduce suitable structural profiles to the line without routine manual placement during the prepared production cycle.
Automatic processing
Move the profile from the transition area into the cutting zone and complete the programmed operations in sequence.
Length-based unloading
Sort completed workpieces by length to reduce secondary material distribution after cutting.
One-step notch forming
Produce locking notches in one programmed operation and reduce manual polishing.
The U10 Pro cutting head maintains a controlled stand-off above the workpiece while forming the notch. Bodor presents the process as eliminating manual secondary polishing and doubling notch-processing efficiency for suitable applications.
Single programmed notch cycle
Create the structural connection feature without moving the profile to a separate manual preparation stage.
Reduced secondary finishing
The process is intended to reduce or remove manual polishing where the required edge condition can be achieved by laser.
Validate the real connection detail
Representative drawings and steel sections should be tested because access, thickness, geometry and weld requirements influence the result.
Five-axis linked cutting
Process multiple H-beam surfaces in one setup with coordinated A, C, X, Y and Z motion.
Bodor describes a 180-degree reciprocating cutting head with five-axis linkage across A, C, X, Y and Z. The configuration is intended to improve access to structural-steel surfaces and support optional bevel cutting while reducing repeated repositioning.

Published motion and efficiency claims are manufacturer references. Actual cutting access, tolerance, finish and cycle time depend on profile geometry, material, thickness, fixtures, programming and the supplied machine configuration.
Digital workflow and connected production
Use Tekla data and automated handling to streamline structural-steel preparation.
The benefit of U10 Pro depends on how drawings, stock, loading, cutting and finished-part handling are connected. World Machinery can review the customer’s detailing and production workflow before the final configuration is agreed.
Drawing workflowTekla-compatible ungrouping
Import compatible 3D structural models, ungroup components and generate processing codes for the following operations, subject to the confirmed software and licence workflow.
Integrated lineSix-in-one production concept
Bring the main profile-preparation stages together to reduce transfers between separate machines and manual workstations.
Automatic handlingLoading, processing and unloading
Coordinate material entry, programmed cutting and length-based unloading as one production line rather than independent steps.
Connection detailsOne-step locking notches
Use laser cutting to form suitable locking notches in one pass and reduce later manual preparation where the application permits.
Published configuration and technical references
Use the existing specification graphic together with a current written UK proposal.
The original World Machinery page includes a technical-parameters image. The redesign retains that graphic and adds a plain-language summary of the manufacturer-published ranges, while making clear that the final delivered specification must be confirmed in writing.

U10 Pro questions
What UK structural-steel manufacturers usually ask before specifying a U10 Pro.
Final answers depend on the supplied line length, profile range, loading arrangement, cutting head, software, material and optional equipment. World Machinery can provide a current written configuration for the project.
What is the Bodor U10 Pro designed to process?
The U10 Pro is designed primarily for automated H-beam and I-beam structural-steel processing. It integrates loading, perforation, notching, beveling, cutting and unloading in one production line.
What profile sizes are published for the U10 Pro?
Bodor publishes a profile-size range from 600 × 300mm to 1000 × 600mm. Section shape, flange and web thickness, straightness, weight and specific feature access must still be reviewed for the application.
What profile length and weight can it handle?
The current manufacturer information publishes maximum profile lengths from 6200mm to 13,500mm, a maximum profile-weight reference of 6 tonnes, and automatic-loading workpiece lengths from 1500mm to 13,500mm. Confirm the selected line configuration in writing.
How fast is the automatic loading process?
Bodor publishes a reference of under 20 seconds for suitable profile loading. Actual time depends on profile dimensions, weight, orientation, loading method and the complete line configuration.
Can U10 Pro form locking notches in one operation?
Bodor describes one-step notch forming that can reduce or eliminate later manual polishing for suitable connection details. Representative sections should be tested because geometry, thickness and required edge condition affect the result.
