Voortman’ Roller Feed Measurement system exceeds the industry standard for roller measurement technology. Maintaining accurate measurements without any hesitation in production is crucial. Accuracy is not compromised even despite deviations in material.
Auto Standoff is currently defined as surface-stand-off. This should not be confused for vector standoff with 5-axis. The current auto stand off is based on a moving surface. It will adjust vertically based the angle at the "A" Axis. You can perform the vector change even if the machine is not running with the help of buttons on screen.

Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measurement systems offer saw measurement options. AccuMeasure offers complete handling flexibility while providing a simple CNC solution. The ability to separate a drill from a saw means that neither machine has to wait for the other, maximising production.
CNC Drill Line is an efficient beam processing solution that requires very little floor space. It can be used for up to 70ftx9ft. CNC Drill Line installations can also be found outside, which gives the fabricator more space.
Voortman’s Roller Feed Measuring system surpasses industry standards in roller measurement technology. The key to accurate measurements is not allowing for any production hesitations. Even when there are material variations, accuracy must be maintained.
Advantage-2 carbide drills are equipped with electronic ball screw feed spindle motors and an automatic tool changer technology. Combining these features with Voortman’s well-known build quality as well as mechanical design, the result is a combination that combines agility and strength.
Over the past decade the UNIST MQL lubricant system has become the dominant coolant system in the USA, and has become standard equipment on the Aveger FORTY, Avenger PLUS and Clipper. This minimum quantity lubricant is an oil based coolant that promotes longer tool life. It is non toxic.
Voortman’s Roller Feed Measuring System surpasses the industry standard in roller measurement technology. Accuracy in measurement is vital to avoid any production delays. Even with material deviations, accuracy cannot be compromised.

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.
