Cnc Beam Drill Line Setup

Voortman has created the CNC beam drill line standard today using proven technology. Advantage-2 processes 150 tons of steel an average of once a week. The Advantage-2 is highly efficient in drilling, milling and tapping as well as countersinking.

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.

Because you might get a request from a customer for a couple pieces of steel that require holes or layout markings, you will need to train your operator in Peddimat.

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.

The ability to mill copes speeds up project completion times tremendously. Coupled with the Advantage-2 user-friendly Raptor 3D CAD/CAM software enables the operator to program parts quickly. Inspect, modify and export part information directly within the 3D platform. The biggest advantages of the Advantage-2 drill has been probably the scribing and the ability to mill slots, large lifting holes. I mean this really kind of sets this machine apart. With the scribing we're able to put piece marks and layout lines, center points. I mean having that flexibility to use it when we want to and make that decision has been really great.

Voortman makes machines for GSS Machinery in order to meet our exact specifications. GSS Machinery targets small- to medium-sized fabricators, while Voortman targets larger fabricators. Voortman has been designing machines for GSS Machinery since more than 10 years. GSS Machinery is Voortman's largest customer globally.

Drilling Machine

Advantage-2 carbide drills are equipped with electronic ball screw feed spindle motors and an automatic tool changer technology. Combining these features with Voortman’s well-known build quality as well as mechanical design, the result is a combination that combines agility and strength.

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.

Cnc Beam Drill Line Instructions

Yes. We have many CNC Beam 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.

Voortman has developed today's CNC beam standard drill line using tried-and-true technology. Advantage-2 processes 150 ton of steel per workweek with the most efficient drilling/milling, scribing/taping, and countersinking operations.

Steel Industry

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:

The Advantage-2 carbide drill line utilizes automatic tool changing technology and completely electronic ball screw feed spindle motion. This combined with Voortman' renowned build quality and mechanical design provide the ultimate combination of agility and strength.

Beam drills are crucial tools in medium-sized and large-sized structural fabricating shops. Beam drilling machines drill holes accurately in a variety steel profiles at different lengths. These machines are able to automatically draw the lines and create the hole manually using a punch, mag drill, or plasma. This time-consuming process can take weeks, and many people are needed to complete the task. A beam drillline eliminates manual layouts and the associated errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fixed connections, pinned and roller connections are the most popular types of support in beams and structures that connect to their foundation. You can see any of these supports at any point along the length of a structural component.

Channels, or C-beams, are used when the flat back side of the web is mounted to another flat surface. This allows for maximum contact. Sometimes they are welded back-to-back to create a non-standard I beam.

The beam drill line is important in large-sized structural fabrication shops. These machines are used to drill precise holes in beams, angles, or sections of bar stock. They can be quick and efficient at laying large structural members.

The two angled segments get compressed and the horizontal segment is loaded with tension. The resulting tensile strength decreases as the angles get more extreme. A thicker beam will resist the bending force of weight more effectively than a thin beam.

Drilling lines are used for lifting or lowering the drill pipe into the wellbore. They present a challenging application for wire ropes with repetitive high-load bending over sheaves.
