CMA Machine Tools creates a machine that makes metal structures that allow buildings to be erected on site in 16 weeks

CMA Machine Tools has developed a new solution capable of machining and cutting metal structures to accelerate building construction and reduce construction times. This innovation has the potential to change the way we build.

Valencian company CMA Machine Tools has developed the BRX model, a solution that integrates machining and cutting to optimise the production of metal structures for industrialised construction.

The machine features three machining heads capable of machining all three sides of a beam simultaneously, eliminating repositioning and reducing manual intervention throughout the process. The raw beam enters the machine and comes out fully finished, maintaining precision and repeatability even in large production batches.

Thanks to this technology, specialist workshops can manufacture metal structures for five-storey buildings that can subsequently be erected on site in as little as 16 weeks.

The BRX also incorporates proprietary software with an intuitive interface and an integrated material stock control system, enabling the manufacturing process to be managed in a more automated, efficient and consistent way.

For CMA Machine Tools, this technology addresses one of the main challenges facing industrialised construction: increasing the production capacity of metal structures to meet growing demand for housing.

Industrialised construction is emerging as an alternative for shortening construction times and reducing dependence on labour, against a backdrop of housing shortages in Spain. In this context, the ability of workshops to produce structures quickly and accurately is becoming a key factor in the sector's growth.

With the development of the BRX, CMA Machine Tools is committed to bringing advanced technology to this new way of building and helping the supporting manufacturing industry adapt to the pace required by industrialised construction.
