Cnc Drilling Process

The CNC Drill Line can either be programmed at the machine by hand or via the Peddimat software. The AVENGER includes this software and it can be installed on as many computers in your office as you wish. This unlimited license comes with your machine purchase. This software is identical to the one found on the machine and can be installed on any Voortman CNC fabricating machines.

Voortman makes machines for GSS Machinery in order to meet our exact specifications. GSS Machinery targets small- to medium-sized fabricators, while Voortman targets larger fabricators. Voortman has been designing machines for GSS Machinery since more than 10 years. GSS Machinery is Voortman's largest customer globally.

The ability to mill copes speeds up project completion times tremendously. Coupled with the Advantage-2 user-friendly Raptor 3D CAD/CAM software enables the operator to program parts quickly. Inspect, modify and export part information directly within the 3D platform. The biggest advantages of the Advantage-2 drill has been probably the scribing and the ability to mill slots, large lifting holes. I mean this really kind of sets this machine apart. With the scribing we're able to put piece marks and layout lines, center points. I mean having that flexibility to use it when we want to and make that decision has been really great.

Auto Stand-Off is currently defined as surface stand-off. It should not be confused with vector standoff in 5-axis mode. Auto stand-off currently works on a changing surface. It adjusts vertically based upon the angle of the Axis. This means that five (5) axes are taken into consideration during calculations. However, this is not the same thing as tool vector standoff. You can change the vector standoff while the machine runs manually by pressing buttons on the screen.

Voortman designs machines to meet the strict requirements of GSS Machinery. GSS Machinery is designed for small to medium fabricators. Voortman is more for larger fabricators. Voortman has been constructing machines for GSS Machinery more than ten years. GSS Machinery ranks as Voortman's biggest customer in the world.

Z-Reader Probe – The Z-Reader is a device for mapping the location of the surface. It can be controlled manually & programmatically. The option is NOT active while cutting & is retracted out of harm’s way. It can be triggered to verify the surface at every pierce before the cutting process starts, or it could be used to drive surface mapping of the whole part before cutting starts. It begins with initialization or zeroing of the device to the surface at the beginning of a program and then accumulates or tracks the difference from that zeroing effort.

Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated and well-trained.

Continuous production? Check. You can check. The ability to process a profile in record time with triple-axis drilling and milling is possible thanks to the use of three axes. High-speed Siemens spindle motors of 25 horsepower provide industry-leading hole penetration speeds. Additionally, each drilling axis employs ball screw feed positioning. The drill line boasts an advanced clamping system specifically designed to reduce vibrations. Extreme accuracy? Check.
