Drill Lines
Voortman’s roller feed measurement system exceeds industry standard. It is important to maintain accurate measurements without hesitation during production. Even though there may be slight deviations in the material, accuracy should not be compromised.
The CNC Beam Drill Line is the most affordable CNC beam drill line on the market today and ensures that the fabricators is the low-cost producer, allowing him to win more work and to make more margin.
CNC Beam Drill Line has the ability to import DXF files. They can then be used to produce 3-D shapes as long that the steel is prepared according to certain rules. These rules might not apply to what you are currently detailing. This may mean that some adjustments might be required. This process isn't as seamless as the 3D modeling software solutions.
Voortman technicians will complete the installation and calibration of your machine. After that, he'll spend time with operators and guide them through our comprehensive training program. Training will be given to your operators in:
An attachment that marks 4-axis locations eliminates human error during manual layout. Even after painting blasting or galvanizing, the part information is still retained.
Automatic Edge Finder - This edge finder can either be used manually (Jogging Mode & Screen Button), programmatically with M & G codes, or fully automated as a dedicated program. This option allows you to adjust offsets and rotate the program to match the orientation and position on the cutting table.
Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measurement machine offers different saw measurements. AccuMeasure is flexible in handling and has a simplified CNC solution. Splitting apart a saw and drill allows each machine to work simultaneously, increasing production.
Not only will the CNC Beam Drill Line process beams and columns, but it also easily processes all steel profiles including channel, angle, flat bar, base plates, RHS, square, and round profiles.
Let’s compare Twist Drill Bits and Insert Drill bits in the real life fabrication situation. We will just look at one example – 13/16? (22mm), which is typically the most commonly drilled hole diameter.
The programming of the CNC Beam Drill Line can be done even manually. Peddimat is the machine programming software and most operators can program most parts within less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best way to program the machine, however, is to import parts from a CAD drawing, preferably created in 3-D modeling software like ProSteel 3D or StruMis. These files can be imported directly into the machine. The operator simply selects the part and presses the Cycle Start button.
We have used more than 1,000 CNC Beam Drill Line and Angle Lines in the world. We have found that even an experienced operator who has never programmed before can use the machine efficiently in less than half an day.
“.. Although this machine is marketed for the Structural fabricators, I knew immediately it would work well for drilling truck frames. The accuracy & repeatability have ensured the assembly without error. The Avenger drills a set of channels for one truck in less than one 2 hours; when we did this manually, it would take 16 hours. This machine has increased our productivity & profitability hands down!..”
We believe that, at this time, based upon the prices from different suppliers, the customer would be better off with high-quality Ocean Penetrator turn drill bits as well as a quality sharpener.
There are two options when it comes to CNC machinery. One is a Vertical Machining center and one is a CNC router. You can use both pieces of equipment for different reasons. Which one should I choose?
An I beam is stronger than a cylindrical tube for beams with equal weight and depth. This is because the I beam contains more material close to the extremities.
Although c-channel can be a little more expensive than angle iron, it is much more durable in most cases. C-channel is preferred for projects that can be done without major engineering or expense.
Use a slow speed to drill. The slower a bit spins the more hot it becomes. And heat dulls bits quickly. It is a good idea for drill bits to be used at a slow speed when drilling through metal. Drill bits for hard metals such as steel and larger diameters require slower speeds.
The beam will fail at its bottom if the cantilever beam material has lower compressive yield strengths than the tensile yield strengths. The beam may also fail if its tensile yield strength falls below the required level.
T Beam's disadvantages: Because the beam slab is monolithic (rigid), its resistance to lateral shear forces becomes very weak. (cracks develops quickly). This is why T beams are used for high-rise buildings in earthquake-prone areas.
