Not only will the CNC Drill Line process beams and columns, but it also easily processes all steel profiles including channel, angle, flat bar, base plates, RHS, square, and round profiles.
A 4-axis layout marking attachment eliminates human error in manual layout methods. Part information is retained even after painting, blasting and galvanizing.
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.
AC Unit Installed on Electrical Cabinet – The unit is mounted on the cabinet’s High Power (480v) side. It is close to the location where the drives are mounted. This option keeps the cabinet temperature stable and allows heat dissipation faster. The servo drives for all axes are the most significant contributors to heat inside the electrical cabinet.
These drop-in serrated grippers help to secure base plates, flat bar, angle and other profiles that might have rounded edges that want to push away from the datum line
Voortman has designed the CNC Drill Line exclusively for GSS Machinery. Voortman is responsible for the installation, warranty, and service of the CNC Drill Line. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the CNC Drill Line. However, GSS Machinery is always available to assist if necessary.
The Advantage-2 CNC beam Drill Line is ideal for tandem installation with any Voortman's automatic sawing system. It features powerful material handling, precise measurement capabilities, and high speed design.
These drop-in stainless grippers allow you to secure base plates or flat bars, angle, or other profiles that might have rounded edges and want to push away the datum line.
Voortman manufactures machines exclusively for GSS Machinery to meet our strict specifications. GSS Machinery is geared towards small to medium-sized fabricators while Voortman is aimed at larger fabricators. Voortman has been building machines in GSS Machinery's factories for over ten years. GSS Machinery is Voortman biggest customer.
Programming the CNC Drill Line, even for operators without any previous computer or CNC experience is straightforward and intuitive.
Voortman inside service technicians often don’t need to be at your machine to solve a problem you may have. A common internet connection is all that is needed for the Voortman technician to operate your control as if he was standing with you at the machine. The Powerful Windows® based Siemens control used on Voortman equipment allows for this capability, and provides superior diagnostics via Windows® based platform.
The CNC Drill Line is programmed either manually on the machine or by using the Peddimat program. This software is included in the AVENGER. It can be installed on any number of computers in your office that you like. It is the exact same software as the machine, and it is also used on all Voortman CNC fabrication machinery.
FlexBeam is a new machine tool designed for the fast, precise, and economical production of steel profiles. This machine is an efficient solution for beam processing in small- to medium-sized shops that are looking to take on larger projects.
Voortman builds machines specifically for GSS Machinery to meet our demanding specifications. GSS Machinery specifically targets the small to medium fabricator whereas Voortman targets the larger fabricators. Voortman has been building machines for GSS Machinery for more than 10 years, and GSS Machinery is Voortman largest customer worldwide.
C-beam has lower strength tolerances than the I beam, which leads to lighter components. Continue reading if you have never used C-beam profiles.
The Flange of the L-beam, or the T-beam's slab that acts in unison with the beam to resist loads, is also known as the Flange of the Slab. The beam below the flange can be called Web or Rib. The T-beams support the slab, while the L-beams are the end beams.
Wood Products Historically we have restricted hole sizes in Microllam (r) LVL and Parallam (r) PSL. Members 7.25'' or deeper can use a round hole of 2'' diameter for TimberStrand(r).
Size of an LVL beam for a 20-foot span: As a general rule, a GLULAM or LVL should measure 10-12 inches in depth and 3 inches in width for a span of 20 feet. This means that a GLULAM or 10-12 inch GLULAM is required for residential buildings or projects.
Use a slow speed to drill. The slower a bit spins the more hot it becomes. And heat dulls bits quickly. It is a good idea for drill bits to be used at a slow speed when drilling through metal. Drill bits for hard metals such as steel and larger diameters require slower speeds.
