Cnc Beam Drill Line Design Guide

It doesn't matter if a CNC drill isn't able to position a steel fabricator to be competitive in the steel fabrication market. The Advantage-2's ability to process technical files with intelligence, speed and precision is what makes it so special. Each drilling axis can operate with three five-station tools changers. Signoscript's underside scriber and Signomat's part stamping unit can be attached to this drill axis. Part information is preserved even after galvanizing, blasting, and painting. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Advantage-2 uses carbide tooling to drill more holes and is more aggressive than any other drill. High torque drilling instruments have a thicker and more aggressive cut which removes more chips from each rotation. This drill can remove beams, channel and angle tubes as well as flat bars. Advantage-2's processing window is 44 inches wide by 18 inches high.

These drop-in stainless grippers allow you to secure base plates or flat bars, angle, or other profiles that might have rounded edges and want to push away the datum line.

Material handling allows for the connection of multiple CNC machines. It keeps material flowing through the shop and allows fabricators expand their business. The Advantage-2 highspeed drill line processes 150 tons steel per 40 hour workweek. The ideal drill for small to large fabrication companies all over the world. All stops. Voortman has made the success for the steel industry his number one priority. Because of this, our support and service is unparalleled. Ask for a demonstration, quote, visit, or phone to learn more about some of the most formidable steel fabrication machinery. Voortman has more strength than steel.

Voortman-designed beam drilling lines have intelligence not only in their own capabilities but also in the fact that they can be plugged into any environment because of their modularity. Tandem solutions, such as band saws with robotic coppers or PeddiWriters, expand the shop’s throughput positioning. It allows for a more cost-effective approach when the steel sector cools down and a more aggressive one when it heats. Voortman invented the Multmaster, which can be used to advance small parts into a tandem-bandsaw. Fabricators are more profitable when they use the whole profile and minimize the remnant. Do you want more output? Check. Material handling is key to any Voortman CNC drill-line profit. Fabricators not only lose money when a profile is manually moved but material handling is far safer than using fork trucks and cranes to move the largest profiles.

Our beam drill line machines feature central lubrication and linear guides. This ensures smooth operation and less maintenance. Each coordinate system has a 4-station tool changer that allows it to drill, mill and scribe as well as counter sink or tap. It can also swap tools mid-operation without any disruption. The positive beam positioning system consists of an arm attached on the feed conveyor to a rack-and-pinion system. This allows the beam to be positioned more precisely as it passes through the drill line.

GSS Machinery staff and personnel have been a tremendous support to me. Without them, I believe we wouldn't be in the position we find ourselves in in the steel fabricating markets.

Voortman machines have been the global leaders in structural steel fabrication technology. Voortman machines are a key part of steel fabricators' competitive advantage. They can optimize tonnage and maintain a high level of quality. Advantage-2 CNC beam drilling is the heart of any structural steel fabrication shop. This machine is a core component of a high-speed multi-spindle, relentless caride drilling. Advantage-2 is one of the most profitable lines in the steel industry. This drill line is built from heavy steel and will last for many years. Thanks to the roller feed design of the infeed/outfeed, the Advantage-2 can run profiles from end to end without any stop in production. Every year, hundreds of fabricators around the world run hundreds of thousands and tons of steel through their Advantage-2s.

FlexBeam is an innovative machine tool that allows for quick, precise and economically produced steel profiles. This machine provides a cost-effective beam processing solution to small to medium-sized fabricators who are ready to handle larger jobs.
