Each of our beam drill line machines have linear guides, central lubrication, and a tool cooling system to ensure smooth operation and lower maintenance. Within each coordinate system there is a 4 station tool changer, allowing it to drill, mill, scribe, counter sink, or tap as needed; tools can even be swapped out mid-operation easily and without disruption. Positive beam positioning consists of an arm attached to a rack and pinion system on the feed conveyor to more accurately position the beam as it goes through the drill line, maintaining .004”, making our steel beam drill lines much more accurate than friction roller machines.
Voortman's beam drill line design is intelligent not only because of its capabilities, but also because it can be easily plugged into any environment due to its modularity. Tandem solutions that include band saws, robotic coppers, and PeddiWriters expand the shop’s throughput positioning. This allows for a more economical approach to the steel industry when it cools down and a more aggressive approach as the industry heats up. Voortman created the Multmaster to make it possible for even the smallest parts to be turned into a tandem bandsaw. Fabricators will make more money by using the entire profile and minimising the remnant. Increase your output Check. Material handling is essential for any Voortman CNC drill lines to make a profit. Fabricators can lose money each time a profile has to be manually moved. However, material handling is safer than using fork trucks or cranes for the most heavy profiles.
