Cnc Beam Drill Line Block
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.
The CNC Beam Drill Line has been an immediate hit with the small to medium fabricator fabricating both structural steel and miscellaneous metals. Since it was introduced in 2003 more than 600 CNC Drill Line have been installed around the world, and this amazing machine has changed the lives of many a steel fabricator.
We have been creating machines and solutions for steel fabricators for 50 years. As a result of the decreasing ability to find qualified labor and rising labor costs we focus on automation. This will allow you to lower your production costs and increase margins. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines will ensure that you have the highest level of productivity, accuracy, and reliability. Our CNC Beam Drill Lines combine many functions such as drilling, marking, countersinking and thread-tapping to maximize productivity and automate your workflow. Voortman offers a complete line of Beam Drill Lines that can be used for any type of production.
Programming the CNC Drill Line is simple, even when done manually. Peddimat is the machine programming program and most operators can learn to program most parts in less that an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. But, the best way is to program the machine directly from a 3D CAD drawing. This should be done in software such as StruMis, ProSteel 3D and SDS/2. These files can be imported directly to the machine. After selecting the part to process, the operator clicks on the Cycle Start Button.
CNC Drill Line was designed for fabricators and general job shop personnel who need to drill holes in all kinds of steel profiles. These questions will help you determine if the machine is right for you.
"..In our efforts to satisfy customer demands and increase productivity, we installed a new beam drilling line. This has resulted in a lower labor cost and faster turnaround times that have always helped us land high quality jobs.
We have successfully installed over 1000 CNC Drill Lines and Angle Lines all around the world. It has been our experience that an average operator who has never programmed a machine before can get up to 50% efficiency on it in less than half a day.
The Advantage-2 CNC beam drilling machine is ideal for tandem installations with any Voortman automatic sawing system.
Voortman offers ongoing training courses on all Voortman Ocean equipment at its Bradley Illinois facility. These courses are both for novice and experienced operators. These courses are designed to help employees leave your shop feeling more motivated, skilled and prepared to take on new tasks. For more information and pricing, please contact us.
MultMaster is an extension to the Roller Feed measurement systems. It can perform small-sized cuts that would otherwise need manual positioning. This accessory automates the processing of short residual sections on a Voortman drill-saw tandem system, allowing for quick and easy material processing.
"..We have drilled approximately 25.000 holes since we purchased our CNC Drill Line four months ago. It used to take us 5 minutes to drill each hole. It now takes us approximately. It takes us 30 seconds per hole... that's a savings of 1875 hours over 4 months. This is equivalent to $84,375 in our shop. This machine will pay off in less than a year, as you can see. It not only speeds up production but also frees up space for more jobs.
Voortman exclusively designed and built the CNC Drill Line to fit GSS Machinery. Voortman oversees all aspects of the CNC Drill Line, including warranty and service. Voortman acts as the service provider. GSS Machinery will always assist should the need arise.
We always train your operator how to run the machine using Peddimat as you are often going to have the situation where a customer arrives with a couple of pieces of steel that need holes or layout marks and you want to be able to produce them quickly without bothering your detailing staff who might be busy on a larger job.
Renishaw Calibration 5-Axis - The calibration unit for the Renishaw model APCA45 is equipped with a modified spherical pencil. The activation process is completed with a retractable covering and an air purge. It attaches on a swing arm controlled via a pneumatic Rotary.
A 10mm diameter bar can be used to reinforce a beam's longitudinally, but this all depends on the beam's size, span, and the load placed over it. The designer determines the steel cross-section area required when designing.
Avoid drilling vertical holes through LVL beams if the beam width is less than 3-1/2 inches. Before drilling vertical holes through LVL beams, consult an engineer or an architect who is qualified in wood design.
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.
A cobalt-blend drill bit is the best for drilling hardened metals or steel. This alloy includes 5% to 8% cobalt. The cobalt is a part of the steel mixture, so it doesn't wear away with a coating (like titanium bits).
To reduce the chance of the beam escaping from the concrete column, the development length is required. It acts as a support member for the reinforced beam within the concrete column.
