A CNC drill line is useless if it does not position a fabricator for success in the steel fabrication industry. The Advantage-2 can process technical programs quickly and with intelligence. Each drilling axis is equipped with three five-station tool changers. They can drill, mill countersink tap, tap, and scribe. You can also equip this drill line with a Signoscript underside Scriber or Signomat Part Stamping Unit. Even after blasting, painting, and galvanizing, part information can be retained. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Check. High torque drilling axes feature a thicker, more aggressive cut that removes more chips with every rotation. This drill line can chew through beams and tube, channel, angle, tube, and flat bars. Advantage-2 has a processing window that measures 44 inches in width and 18 inches high.
At GSS Machinery we are committed to providing you as many options as possible with regard to drilling with your CNC Drill Line or any other CNC Beam Drill Line.
Cnc Drill Line ArgumentsThis Morse Taper chuck adaptor allows you to use standard parallel shank drill bits when drilling smaller diameters. It allows a maximum drill diameter of ?” (12mm) and a minimum diameter of 3/64? (1mm)
The CNC Drill Line works very well and Avenger operators were often the ones doing the layout. It is not necessary to have any computer knowledge. Full training is given at the time the installation is completed.
Let's take a look at how Insert Drill bits and Twist Drill Bits work in real-life fabrication situations. This is the most popular drilled hole diameter.
The Advantage-2 is powered via 25 HP (18.5kW), Siemens spindlemotors. It features 3 drill spindles that are equipped with 5-station tool changing stations. This powerful drilling technology ensures optimal operating time as well as drill hole quality.
GSS Machinery has provided us with the best support possible in steel fabrication markets, which is something I am proud to say.
The Advantage-2 is powered by 25 HP (18.5kW) Siemens spindle motors. It has 3 drill spindles each with 5-station tool changers. This drilling technology is extremely efficient and allows for maximum operating time and excellent drill hole quality.
CNC Drill Lines can be used to drill holes in any type of material. CNC Drill Line was built to be universally used and therefore only utilizes components from top manufacturers. Many of these components can be obtained locally. Voortman always has spare parts available for next-day delivery within the USA. We offer support and local service in many of our overseas destinations.
Voortman offers training courses at their Bradley Illinois facility on all Voortman equipment. These courses are for both new and experienced operators. The facility's graduates return to their shops highly motivated, trained, and ready to increase productivity. For pricing and details, please call.
Programming the CNC Drill Line is very simple and intuitive even for operators with no CNC or computer experience.
Even if you are programming the CNC Drill Line manually, it is easy to program. Peddimat machine programming software can be used and most operators will learn how to program most of the parts in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. It is best to program the machine by importing parts directly from a 3-D modeling program such as ProSteel 3D, StruMis, Tekla Structures, SDS/2 or StruMis. These files are imported directly into your machine. Once you have selected the part, hit the Cycle Start button.
Yes. Many CNC Drill Line installations are available outside. The control panel and mobile platform must have adequate weather protection. We are happy to show you photos from our many outside installations.
Our beam drill machines have central lubrication, a cooling system, and linear guides to make them easier to use and require less maintenance. Each coordinate system includes a 4 station tool changer. This allows it drill, mill/scribe, counter sink or tap as many times as required. Additionally, tools can be swapped easily during operation. Positive beam positioning is an arm that attaches to a rack on the conveyor. This allows the beam position to be more precisely controlled as it moves through a drill line.
According to the International Residential Building Code (IRC), 2021, a common 6x6 softwood beam span is 3'-5" to 7'-6". The wood's strength and other variables affect how long the span. While hardwood of similar dimensions will span more than steel, the cost difference can be substantial.
Which drill can I use to drill steel beams with? You can use drills made of high-speed steel (HSS), as mentioned previously. You can drill with a twist drill, core drill, or hole saw in the HSS, HSS-5, and tungsten carbide tool steels. You can also use hole saws, which do not drill into the workpiece as well as core drills.
To increase your beam's bending capability, you will need to increase the second moment (I) if your beam design is controlled by yielding in bend (not lateral-torsional or plate buckling). This is usually done by attaching additional plates to your beam, often onto the flanges.
Manufacturers limit beams to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.
Drill blowout can be prevented by attaching a scrap of wood to the backside the piece that you are drilling on. When you drill the whole, wood that would have otherwise "blown out", hits the scrap wood instead and stays in place.
