Can you drill through a ridge beam
Voortman will install and calibrate your machine once he is done. Then, he will meet with your operators and take them through the simple but comprehensive training program. They will be trained in:
Voortman is the only manufacturer of the CNC Beam Drill Line for GSS Machinery. Voortman takes care of all aspects of the CNC Beam Drill Line's installation, warranty, maintenance and repair. Voortman provides the service, but GSS Machinery can always be reached if required.
".. Although the machine is targeted at structural fabricators, I found it to be very useful for drilling truck frames. This machine is very accurate and repeatable, which has made it easy to put together a truck frame. Avenger drills a series of channels for one truck within two hours. It takes 16 hours to do the same thing manually. This machine has dramatically increased our productivity, profitability, and efficiency !.."
Material handling helps tie multiple CNC machines together and keep material flowing through a shop allowing fabricators to continually grow as their business expands. The Advantage-2 high-speed drill line alone processes up to 150 tons of steel on average per 40-hour workweek. The ideal drill line for small to large fabricators the world over. Full stop. The success of the steel industry is Voortman' top priority. That is why our service and support is unmatched. Request a demo, quote, visit or call to learn more about the toughest steel fabrication machinery in the world. This is Voortman and we are stronger than steel.
Let's see how Twist Drill Bits are compared to Insert Drill Bits in real life. One example will be shown - 13/16 inch (22mm), the most frequently drilled hole size.
The CNC Beam Drill Line not just drills holes in any profile of steel in a fraction the time it takes, but also marks the locations for all your welded attachments.
The CNC Beam Drill Line proved to be a big hit for small-to-medium fabricators that produce structural steel and miscellaneous material. Since its introduction in 2003, over 600 CNC Beam Drill Lines around the world have been installed. This machine has revolutionized the lives and livelihoods of many a steel fabricator.
Our company has been providing solutions and machines for steel fabricators for over 50 years. Our focus is on automation to address the ever-decreasing availability of quality labor and rising labor prices. Automation can reduce your overall production costs while increasing your margins. Voortman CNC Beam Drill lines will guarantee your highest productivity, accuracy and reliability. Our CNC Beam Drill Lines can perform many functions including drilling, milling. marking, countersinking. thread-tapping, and many other functions. This will increase your productivity and automation, as well as optimize your workflow. Voortman's extensive range of Beam Drill Lines can accommodate any production or company.
Although 90% of support issues can be resolved by Voortman’ 24 Hour Tech Support center, an expansive network of 50+ Voortman field service personnel are stationed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand.
Beam drill lines are important tools in medium to large-sized structural fabrication shops. Beam drill lines accurately drill holes in a variety of steel profiles at different lengths with CNC controlled programming. These machines eliminate the need to manually chalk or layout the positions and produce the hole by hand with a mag drill, punch, or plasma. This cumbersome process can take weeks and multiple employees to do the job. A beam drill line eliminates manual layout and the associated errors.
Continuous production? Check. You can check. The ability to process a profile in record time with triple-axis drilling and milling is possible thanks to the use of three axes. High-speed Siemens spindle motors of 25 horsepower provide industry-leading hole penetration speeds. Additionally, each drilling axis employs ball screw feed positioning. The drill line boasts an advanced clamping system specifically designed to reduce vibrations. Extreme accuracy? Check.
GSS Machinery's support has been invaluable in enabling us to excel in the steel fabrication market that we currently find ourselves in.
Programming the CNC Beam Drill Line program is simple even if done manually. Peddimat software is used to program the CNC Beam Drill Line. Most operators can learn how most parts are programmed in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However, it is easiest to program the machine from a CAD file. It is recommended that you use a 3D modeling software, such as StruMis or ProSteel 3D to create the CAD drawings. These files can then be imported directly into a machine. The operator just needs to select the part that is to be processed, and hit the Cycle start button.
GSS Machinery's magnetic brush, broom and magnet brush help to remove chips from machines and sweep up chips on the floor.
The primary structural framing component that will support the load is the beams. To resist and redistribute load, beams must bend. Girders on the other side are rigid because they support the beams and provide the main horizontal support.
Lever Arm. From the top compressive fiber. The centroid of the steel reinforcement will be the resultant tensile strength (T). It can also be expressed as a =jd, where j is a lever depth factor.
Theoretically, a beam could be any length provided it was properly designed. The issue is one of practicality. Although it's theoretically possible to have an RC beam 16m long, it is very difficult to have a reinforcement bars that are longer than 12m.
A box beam made from aluminum or acrylics will last longer than an I-Beam. It is stronger and more solid than an I-Beam.
The hole size should not exceed 38mm (1.25 in.). The beam depth should not exceed one-tenth of the hole diameter, whichever is less, with the exception being 25mm (1 in.).
