Cnc Drill Line Ashford

All of our beam drill lines machines are equipped with central lubrication, linear guides, and a tool cooling to ensure smooth operation. There is a four-station tool changer within each coordinate system. This allows the machine to drill and mill, scribe, countersink, or tap as required. Tools can be easily swapped mid-operation. A positive beam positioning arm is attached to the feed conveyor. It allows for more precise positioning of the beam as it moves through the drillline. The rack and pinion system maintains.004" making our steel beam drilllines more accurate than friction roll machines.

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.

Even if you are programming the CNC Drill Line manually, it is easy to program. Peddimat machine programming software can be used and most operators will learn how to program most of the parts in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. It is best to program the machine by importing parts directly from a 3-D modeling program such as ProSteel 3D, StruMis, Tekla Structures, SDS/2 or StruMis. These files are imported directly into your machine. Once you have selected the part, hit the Cycle Start button.

Remote assistance is not always possible. It is still possible to have mechanical problems or ask questions that require a human eye. Voortman machines ship with high-definition webcams and software. Voortman employees can experience the installation's activity without ever leaving their office. In situations where communication is difficult or impossible, the webcam can be of great value.

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.

To service our global clientele, Voortman proudly provides our partners with 24 hour technical support. Voortman’ inside service staff have years of experience in the field, assembly, or factory checkout which provides them with hands-on experience with most machines. At Voortman their service staff is not only available when you need them, but they maintain superior knowledge to solve questions as they arise.

CNC Drill Line is an efficient beam processing solution that requires very little floor space. It can be used for up to 70ftx9ft. CNC Drill Line installations can also be found outside, which gives the fabricator more space.

"..We have drilled approximately 25,000 hole since we purchased our CNC Drill Line just four months ago. It used take us about 5 minutes each to drill and lay out each hole. It now takes us around. 30 seconds per hole... an 1875 man hour savings in four months. That is $84,375 at our shop. As you can see, this machine will be fully paid off in less then one year. It is not only faster than our production, but it also allows us to free up floor space for other jobs.
