Cnc Drill Line Equation

The Advantage-2 CNC beam drill line with its powerful material handling support, meticulous measurement capabilities and high speed designs are ideal for tandem installations with any of Voortman' automatic sawing systems.

Voortman machines are world leaders in structural metal fabrication technology. Voortman machines give steel fabricators an edge in the industry. They have the ability optimize tonnage capacity. Advantage-2 CNC beam drill lines are the foundation of any structural steel fabrication workshop. This machine's core is high-speed, multi-spindle relentless carbide drilling. Advantage-2 is the most profitable steel industry drill line. The drill line's heavy steel frame will ensure that it can support shops for the long-term. Because of the roller feed design on both the infeed and output, the Advantage-2 can run profile end-to-end without stopping production. Each year, hundreds upon hundreds of metal fabricators use their Advantage-2s to produce steel in excess of tens of thousands of tonnes.

What good is a CNC drill line if it doesn't position a fabricator to compete at a high level in the steel fabrication arena. The Advantage-2 has the functionality to process technical programs with intelligence and speed. Equipped with three five-station tool changers, each drilling axis has the capability to drill, mill, countersink, tap and scribe. This drill line can also be equipped with a Signoscript underside scriber or Signomat part stamping unit. Part information is retained even after painting, blasting and galvanizing processes. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Carbide tooling gives the Advantage-2 more aggressive drilling and a higher quantity of holes than any drill line before it. The high torque drilling axes have a thicker more aggressive cut removing more chips with each rotation. This drill line will chew through beams, channel, angle, tube and even flat bar. With a processing window of 44 inches wide and 18 inches tall no profile can escape the reach of the Advantage-2.

The CNC machinery you choose to purchase can be a Vertical Machining Machine or a CNC routing machine. These two pieces can be used to accomplish many different things. Which one should you...

“.. Although this machine is marketed for the Structural fabricators, I knew immediately it would work well for drilling truck frames. The accuracy & repeatability have ensured the assembly without error. The Avenger drills a set of channels for one truck in less than one 2 hours; when we did this manually, it would take 16 hours. This machine has increased our productivity & profitability hands down!..”

Based on the current pricing of the different suppliers, we believe the customer is better off getting good quality Ocean Penetrator twist drilling bits and a sharpener.

It is better to import files directly form your steel detailing program. This removes an unnecessary step as well as eliminates potential incorrect data capture. Two distinct camps exist in this regard:

Voortman offers training courses at their Bradley Illinois facility on all Voortman equipment. These courses are for both new and experienced operators. The facility's graduates return to their shops highly motivated, trained, and ready to increase productivity. For pricing and details, please call.
