FlexBeam, a machine tool that produces steel profiles quickly and accurately, has just been launched. This machine can be used to process large jobs in small and medium-sized fab shops.

"I believe without the help of the staff at GSS Machinery, we wouldn't be able to compete in the steel fabrication markets in which we are now competitive.

GSS Machinery is frequently asked by our customers which drill bit they should use. Insert bits or twist drills? Our top priority is to help customers drill the most holes for their money. This will increase their competitiveness and profitability. But they must fully understand their options. Insert Drill Bit Advantages

Programming of the CNC Drill Line is very simple even when done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat and most operators can learn how to program most parts in less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However the best way to program the machine is to import parts directly from a CAD drawing preferably done in some 3-D modeling software such as Tekla Structures, SDS/2, ProSteel 3D, StruMis etc. These files import directly into the machine and the operator merely selects the part to be processed and hits the Cycle Start button.

Voortman's 24 Hour Tech Support Center can resolve 90% of support issues. However, there are 50+ Voortman field personnel stationed all over North and South America, Europe and Africa.

Voortman machines are the world leaders in structural steel fabrication technology. Steel fabricators that own Voortman machines uphold an advantage in the steel industry and have the ability to optimize tonnage capacity. The Advantage-2 CNC beam drill line is the backbone of any structural steel fabrication shop. High-speed, multi-spindle, relentless carbide drilling is the very core of this machine. The design of the Advantage-2 has created one of the most profitable drill lines in the steel industry. A heavy steel frame ensures this drill line will support shops for the long haul. The Advantage-2 can run profiles end to end with no stop in production all thanks to the roller feed design on the infeed and outfeed. Hundreds of fabricators across the globe run hundreds of thousands of tons of steel through their Advantage-2s year after year.

Programming the CNC Drill Line for new operators is simple and intuitive, even for those who don't have any computer or CNC experience.

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.

Since 1950, we have been designing machines and solutions to help you as a steel fabricator. Automation is our response to ever-decreasing labor availability and rising labor cost. We can help you lower production costs and improve your margins. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill line can guarantee the highest productivity, accuracy, reliability and quality. Our CNC Beam Drill Lines include many functions, including drilling, milling and marking as well as countersinking, thread tapping, and other functions to optimize productivity and increase automation. Voortman has a wide range of Beam Drill Lines to suit every production and company.

"..In an attempt to meet customer requirements and increase output, we have built a new beam drill system. The lower labor cost and quicker turnaround times have resulted in us landing high-quality jobs.

Cycle

The Franklin HD145 (3) spindle-cNC drill is 44 inches wide. The HD-145 can lift beams of up to 750 lbs per feet. The high-performance spindle design allows drilling speeds of up to 2000 RPM. The rigid design of the spindle allows for very aggressive feed rates, up to 300 ft per minute. There are many material handling options available for the Franklin HD145, from 300 lbs to 750 pounds per foot.

Voortman's beam drilling line has intelligence beyond its own capabilities. It can also be plugged in to any environment thanks to its modularity. Tandem solutions using band saws robotic coppers and PeddiWriters increase the shop's throughput positioning. This allows the steel industry to be more economically efficient when it cools down, and more aggressive when it heats up. Voortman developed the Multmaster so that even the smallest components could be made into a tandem saw. Fabricators make greater profits by using the full profile and minimising remnant. Get more output Check. As with every Voortman CNC drill, profit would not be possible without material handling. Fabricators lose money every profile that is manually moved. Material handling is also safer than using cranes or fork trucks to transfer the largest profiles.

The CNC Drill Line is very simple to operate and most of our Avenger operators were the men doing layout on the floor. No prior computer knowledge is necessary, and full training is provided at the time of the installation

Voortman is the man behind today's CNC beam drilling line standard. He has used time-tested technology. Advantage-2 processes 150 tonnes of steel per week on average. It is the most efficient way to drill, mill, tap, and countersink.

Frequently Asked Questions

A purlin measuring six inches can extend to 18 feet

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).

Metal cannot be cut by conventional drill bits so you will need a hard-working, heavy-duty drill bit. For metalworking tasks, there are two types of drill bits: cobalt and titanium.

The Beam L/D Ratio Diagnostic is used to display a plot of the length/diameter of all the beam elements in the model. The optimal L/D ratio to cool channel-related beam elements is 2.5. Solver convergence warnings may be issued if the L/D ratio is significantly lower.

The new LD50 formula ( LD50 = ED50 3 x Wm x 10-4) yielded value (0.29 mg/kg), which is comparable to the reported value (0.32mg/kg).
