sunrise AlS Series

Automatic Angle Processing System

The Sunrise ALS is a fully automated CNC angle line built for structural steel fabricators who process angle and flat bar in volume.

Angle clips, brackets, bracing, tower and track components, rail parts, and truck chassis parts. It automatically punches both legs of angle, shears to length with no slug loss, and marks parts at an integrated dot-peen station, all driven from DXF/NC1 and Tekla files so programs move from the office to the shop floor with less manual layout.

ALS:Operation

1

Load

Stock-length angle is loaded onto the all-steel in-feed roller system — or use the optional 8-stick auto-loader, and walk-away.

2

Feed

The rack-and-pinion drive take over with finite precision, the gripper securely clamps the end, and the high-speed servo advances the angle into the machine to confirm length and start production.

3

Punch, Mark & Shear

Using two punches per leg, each with 1.5″ capacity punch, the 60-ton punching cylinders move in, both legs are punched with variable gauge lines, parts are marked, and the angle is sheared to length, with no slug, in one pass.

4

Finished Part

Repeatable angle parts — clips, brackets, bracing — come off ready for assembly. Mixing and matching files, nesting multiple variations, and sorting your parts.

A 27″ touchscreen with Sunrise Software, fully guarded punching and shearing stations, and TeamViewer remote diagnostics make the ALS easy to run and easy to support — with minimal operator training required.

When you need support, the dedicated team at Trilogy Machinery is standing by to offer OEM parts, on-site service, and more!

ALS:Features

Standard Features

  • Automatic clamping & squaring

    The system clamps and squares every stick before it’s punched or sheared, so hole patterns stay true down the length of the bar without an operator babysitting the material. Hydraulic hold-downs for the punch and shear firmly clamp the material during operation.

  • Fully guarded work zone

    Punching and shearing run inside a fully enclosed and safety interlocked frame, keeping operators clear of the tooling while the line is in production. Multiple emergency-stops surround the entire machine and in-feed. Wide doors allow quick and easy access to change tooling, or service the machine.

  • Integrated hydraulic oil cooling

    An onboard cooler holds oil temperature steady through long runs, and multiple fans keep the cabin cool, so punch performance stays consistent from the first part of the shift to the last.

  • Office-to-floor file flow

    Detailing output drops straight into the machine — Use the included off-line software to fully-build your nest, or import DXF/NC1 or Tekla files by Wifi, USB, or ethernet, and nest them right at the control, with no manual re-entry of hole patterns or lengths.

  • Remote diagnostics & lifetime support

    TeamViewer lets a Trilogy technician see the control screen and work through an issue with your operator in real time — often resolving it without a service visit. Schematics, operation and parts manuals, and more are securely stored for quick access now or in the future.

Optional Features

  • Angle auto-loader

    Holds up to 8 sticks and expands to 50′, feeding the line automatically so one operator can stage a run and step away instead of loading bar by bar.

    Watch the auto-loader
  • Flat-bar tooling

    Adds flat bar processing from 2″×¼″ up to 6″×½″ to the same machine, so one line covers both angle and bar work instead of tying up a second piece of equipment.

  • Dot-peen marking

    Marks permanent part numbers and layout marks in-line, so pieces arrive at assembly already identified and no one is hand-marking parts downstream.

    Watch the dot-peen marking
  • Extended in-feed sections

    Additional machined-steel in-feed sections enable the line to process 50′ sticks, letting you run full stock lengths without cutting material down first. The rack and pinion drive system firmly clamps the material and holds accuracy during the entire run, never letting go until the part is finished.

  • Multi-seat software license

    Adds offline layout seats so detailers can build and nest programs at their own desks instead of queuing at the machine control.

ALS:Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the U.S. distributor for Sunrise angle lines?
Trilogy Machinery is the exclusive United States importer and distributor for Sunrise Ironworkers and Sunrise processing systems, supported by a nationwide dealer network. Trilogy provides U.S.-based sales, stocked OEM parts, factory-authorized service, and lifetime phone/email technical support from Belcamp, Maryland.
Where can I buy a Sunrise ALS in the United States?
Sunrise angle lines are imported and distributed exclusively in the U.S. by Trilogy Machinery in Belcamp, Maryland, and are sold and supported through Trilogy’s nationwide network of dealers.
What is a CNC angle line?
A CNC angle line is an automated machine that punches, marks, and shears structural angle (and often flat bar) to length directly from a part file, replacing manual layout, ironworker punching, and saw cutting.
Can the Sunrise ALS process flat bar?
Yes. With optional flat-bar tooling the ALS shears flat bar from 2″×¼″ up to 6″×½″ with no slug loss, alongside its angle capacity.
Does the ALS punch both legs of angle?
Yes. Two independent punches per leg run on tandem 66-ton cylinders, punching up to 1.5″ — including uneven-leg angle, with the gauge line based on the taller leg.
Can it import DXF or NC1 files?
Yes. The controller imports DXF/NC1 and works with Tekla output, plus nesting and multi-pattern templates.
How much scrap does the no-slug-loss shear leave?
The shear cuts to length without punching out a slug and drops a short (~6″) end scrap, keeping material waste low across a run.
What support and warranty come with the ALS?
Each ALS carries an on-site parts & labor warranty of 2 years or 2,500 working hours, plus lifetime technical support by phone and email. After the on-site warranty, phone, email, and text help continue at no charge; only on-site technician visits are billed as a service call. OEM parts and factory-trained technicians are based in Belcamp, Maryland.
How does the ALS compare to manual layout and ironworker processing?
It consolidates measuring, marking, punching, and cutting into one automated pass, reducing labor and handling per part and improving length and hole-pattern consistency on repeat work.
Is an auto-loader available?
Yes. An angle auto-loader holds up to 8 sticks of angle and is expandable to 40′ (as on the ALS 1506D with Auto Loader), for higher-volume, less hands-on production.

The automation speeds things up tremendously.

We are able to take files from Tekla right into the machinery. They have an integrated solution for that. Trilogy Machinery showed up when they said, they set up the machine like they said, and they provided training to all the team members.
