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.

GSS Machinery’s magnetic brush and broom help with the removal of chips from the machine and for sweeping up chips from the floor

"..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.

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.

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!

Material

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.

Technical Support

Importing files directly from steel detailing software is preferable. This eliminates the need for additional steps and eliminates any potential errors in data capture. In this regard, there are two distinct groups:

GSS Machinery's support has been invaluable in enabling us to excel in the steel fabrication market that we currently find ourselves in.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
