Thermal Cutting
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 Drill Lines around the world have been installed. This machine has revolutionized the lives and livelihoods of many a steel fabricator.
Yes. We have many CNC Drill Line installations outside. However suitable weather protection must be provided to the control panel and moving mobile platform. Please feel free to contact us to see photos from many of our outside installations.
AC Unit Mounted to Electrical Cabinet - This unit is mounted on the cabinet’s High Power (480v side). It is near the location where drives are mounted. This option allows for quicker heat dissipation, while keeping the cabinet temperature steady. The most significant heat contributors inside an electrical cabinet are all the servo motors for all axes.
Voortman created Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software. It allows users to program faster and with greater accuracy. The 3D platform lets you inspect, modify, export and export information directly. This combined with Voortman CNC technology allows for maximum fabrication capacity.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has a Drill Line or Beam Drill Line that will suit every fabricator. We also have Beam drills for those who have limited work space.
Automatic Edge Finder - The edge locater can be used either manually (Jogging Mechanism & Screen Buttons), programmatically or completely automated (dedicated programs). This option adjusts the offsets and rotation of the program to match the cutting table's orientation.
We have installed more than a thousand CNC Drill Line and angle lines throughout the world and we have found that the average operator, who has never before programmed a machine before, can become efficient on the machine in less than 1/2 day.
Renishaw Calibration 5 Axis - The calibrator is a Renishaw model APCA45 equipped with a modified spherical stilus. The device includes a retractable lid and an air purge to remove debris and dust during activation. It mounts to the swing arm, which is controlled by the pneumatic rotary.
Z-Reader Probe- The Z-Reader probe is used to map the surface. You can control it manually or programmatically. It is not active during cutting and can be retracted to keep it out of harm's path. You can trigger it to check the surface at each pierce before cutting begins. Or, you could use it to drive the surface mapping of the entire part. It starts with the initialization of the device to the surface at program start. The difference is then accumulated or tracked.
CNC Drill Line has the ability to import DXF files. They can then be used to produce 3-D shapes as long that the steel is prepared according to certain rules. These rules might not apply to what you are currently detailing. This may mean that some adjustments might be required. This process isn't as seamless as the 3D modeling software solutions.
Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines are often included in a combined Drill Saw Line or even in larger fully automated integrated production lines, also referred to as Multi System Integration. Find out more about it below!

"..We have drilled about 25,000 holes since we bought our CNC Drill Line around four months back. We used to need to drill every hole in 5 minutes. It takes us about. 30 seconds per hole = a savings totaling 1875 manhours in just 4 months. This saves us $84,375. This machine will pay for its cost in less that one year. It speeds up our production and frees up floor space to allow for additional jobs.
It is considered a girder if it is the main structural support made up of smaller beams. The Code does not specify the dimensions that will distinguish a beam and girder.
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.).
THE STANDARD SIZE FOR THE BEAMS It is 9" x 12" or 225mm x 300mm in a residential building, according to (IS codes).
T Beam's disadvantages: Because the beam slab is monolithic (rigid), its resistance to lateral shear forces becomes very weak. (cracks develops quickly). This is why T beams are used for high-rise buildings in earthquake-prone areas.
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.
