Steel Construction
CNC Drill Line is made for fabricators and other job shops that drill holes in various types of steel profiles. You can determine if this machine meets your needs by answering the following questions.
There are two options when it comes to CNC machinery. One is a Vertical Machining center and one is a CNC router. You can use both pieces of equipment for different reasons. Which one should I choose?
Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measurement machine offers different saw measurements. AccuMeasure is flexible in handling and has a simplified CNC solution. Splitting apart a saw and drill allows each machine to work simultaneously, increasing production.
CNC Drill Line beam processing solutions are extremely efficient. It requires only 70ft x nineft of floor space, making it suitable for small fabricators or those with limited space. There are also many CNC Drill Lines that can be installed outside, which frees up more space for the fabricator.
CNC Drill Lines are space-efficient beam processing solutions. They require a minimum of 70ft by 9ft floor space. This makes it perfect for smaller fabricators and fabricators who have limited space. Many CNC Drill Line installations are located outside, which allows for more fabricator space.
An attachment that marks 4-axis locations eliminates human error during manual layout. Even after painting blasting or galvanizing, the part information is still retained.
Voortman is known for its dedication to service and support. It is the industry's gold standard. Voortman provides a global team for customer support that is available 24/7 at the Voortman Customer Support Center. Voortman supports you with state-of-the art remote diagnostic software, local field support and an industry-leading warranty.
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.
Automatic Edge Finder - This edge finder can either be used manually (Jogging Mode & Screen Button), programmatically with M & G codes, or fully automated as a dedicated program. This option allows you to adjust offsets and rotate the program to match the orientation and position on the cutting table.
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-designed beam drill lines are intelligent because they can be used in any environment. Tandem solutions include robotic coppers, band saws and PeddiWriters to increase shop throughput. They also allow for a more efficient approach when the steel industry cools off and a more aggressive approach once it heats again. Voortman designed Multmaster in order to allow even the smallest pieces to be moved into tandem bandsaws. Fabricators can make better profits by using the entire profile and minimizing remnant. You get more output Check. Material handling is crucial to any Voortman CNC drill machine profit. Material handling is more efficient than cranes or fork trucks for moving heavy profiles. Fabricators also lose money.
Voortman offers 24 hour technical support for our global clients. Voortman's service personnel have many years of experience working in the field, assembly or factory checkout. This allows them to be familiar with all types of machines. Voortman has a service team that is available 24/7 to answer your questions.
Continuous production? Check. The fabricator's edge does not come from the ability to just handle processes, but in the time it takes to complete them and simultaneously exceed industry standards for quality. Triple axis drilling and milling leads to processing a complete profile in record time. Powered by high-speed 25 horsepower Siemens spindle motors, this strength captures industry-leading hole penetration times and each drilling axis utilizes ball screw feed positioning. With all that power under the hood this drill line wields an advanced clamping system designed specifically to bring vibrations to the bare minimum. Extreme accuracy? Check.
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.
The dimensions of the steel bars required for beam and column are determined by the design structure, load on it, and span between two supports. For beam and column, the size of steel bars is generally 12mm to 25mm.
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.
Theoretically, a beam could be any length provided it was properly designed. The issue is one of practicality. Although it's theoretically possible to have an RC beam 16m long, it is very difficult to have a reinforcement bars that are longer than 12m.
Round tubes are the strongest by weight. It is more resistant to bending and twisting than rectangular or square tubing with the same chemical composition and dimensions.
It's also known as a "secondary beam". A secondary beam is one that rests on and transfers its loads to a primary beam, which then transfers them to the columns.
