Warrior Mfg. BMF Polska Corey - Peddinghaus

WINTER 2012 STEEL FABRICATORS’ REVIEW 7
The Peddinghaus ABCM-1250 coping system is a reliable, and cost effective system for cutting intricate copes of all specifications. Large assemblies are no issue with the advanced automation
employed at Corey.
The material handling of profiles is expedited with the application of Roller Measurement on all equipment at Corey.
Succeeding in Today’s Market
Since 2003, Corey has flourished to become the
leading steel provider, fabricator and erector in
Mexico. In 2010, Corey opened a new facility in
Guadalajara, which merged three of their smaller
locations (Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Mexico
City). The new 'college campus' size facility
includes 50,000 square meters (538,195 sq ft) of
shop space; considerably surpassing the previous
15,000 square meters (161,458 sq ft) combined
shop space of all three merged facilities.
“The new shop doubled our production
capacity and tripled our storage capacity,”
Javier Villa Torres, Director of Operations said.
“No other company in Mexico can even come
close to our production capability!”
With about 800 shop employees working on
three shifts, Corey processes 72,000 metric tons
(79,366 U.S. tons) of steel annually with
Peddinghaus machines.
Powered by Peddinghaus
Corey purchased their first Peddinghaus
machines in 1994. The steel giant was referred
to Peddinghaus by partners, Schuff Steel in the
U.S. The purchase of a Peddinghaus TDK drill
and an ABCM coper was the start of an advantageous
relationship between Peddinghaus and
Corey. Since then, Corey has procured several
drills, plate machines, saws and iron workers.
“We needed efficient machines to help us
keep up with demand,” Marco Calderón,
Plant manager said. “Peddinghaus machines
are strong, low maintenance, and effective
machines for operation.”
High Efficiency Leads to Big Payoff
Corey is the perfect example of a high efficiency
shop. Currently Corey has two band saws to
feed the BDL-1250 beam line, which then can
feed into the coper if needed.

The BDL-1250/9B 9 spindle drill line handles the largest and
heaviest profiles available on the market today.
A second ABCM-1250 automatic coping system uses modern
Siemens electronics for streamlined production.
“We used to have the drill and saw in tandem,
which was working great,” Calderón said.
“However, we were not keeping the drill busy
enough that way. Our set-up with two saws
feeding into the drill allows us to process much
more in the same or less time, and keeps the
drill busy.”
Setting up a shop of this size can be tricky. To
ensure maximum efficiency Peddinghaus Layout
engineers assisted Corey with their shop layout.
Currently Corey is running two different layout
systems. Previously mentioned, one system has
two saws feeding into a BDL drill and the drill
feeding the ABCM coper if needed. This set-up
also has a third saw feeding the coper directly for
special applications.
Corey’s second system is a PCD-1100 feeding
an additional coper. Separate from the lines,
Corey has three FDB plate machines opposite
of the PCD/coper line, and 4 iron workers at
the end of the triple saw/BDL/coper line.
