Can I Drill Through A Structural Beam

Voortman technicians can often work remotely from their computers to resolve any problems you might have. Voortman technicians only need an internet connection to be able to use your control like he were there with you. Voortman equipment is equipped with a Powerful Windows (r)-based Siemens control, which provides superior diagnostics using a Windows(r), based platform.

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 creates machines just for GSS Machinery, to meet our high standards. GSS Machinery targets smaller to medium fabricators, while Voortman targets large fabricators. Voortman has been manufacturing machines for GSS Machinery over 10 years. GSS Machinery, Voortman’s largest customer worldwide, is Voortman.

MultMaster acts as an extension for the Roller Feed measurement device to perform cuts that otherwise would require manual positioning. This accessory allows for fast material processing using a Voortman drilling and saw tandem system.

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

We have successfully installed over 1000 CNC Drill Lines and Angle Lines all around the world. It has been our experience that an average operator who has never programmed a machine before can get up to 50% efficiency on it in less than half a day.

This adaptor for the Morse Taper Morse Taper drill bits allows you to use standard parallel shank bits when drilling smaller diameters. It can drill a maximum diameter of 12mm and a minimum diameter of 3/64'' (1mm). Maximum drill diameter is 12mm, minimum diameter is 3/64'' (1mm).

Voortman will install and calibrate your machine once he is done. Then, he will meet with your operators and take them through the simple but comprehensive training program. They will be trained in:

GSS Machinery's magnetic brush (and broom) help remove chips from the machine as well as sweep up chips from floor.

Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measuring system offers different options for saw measurement. AccuMeasure's versatility allows for easy handling while still providing a quick and efficient CNC solution. Splitting apart a drill or a saw makes it possible to maximize production.

5-Axis Renishaw Calibration – The calibration unit is a Renishaw model APCA45 with a modified spherical stylus. The device has a retractable cover and air purge to clear debris & dust during the activation process. It mounts to a swing arm controlled by a pneumatic rotary, so it is out of the way during regular operation and swings into the calibration position for calibration only.

We have used more than 1,000 CNC Drill Line and Angle Lines in the world. We have found that even an experienced operator who has never programmed before can use the machine efficiently in less than half an day.

AC Unit Mounted to Electrical Cabinet - This unit is mounted on the cabinet’s High Power (480v side). It is near the location where drives are mounted. This option allows for quicker heat dissipation, while keeping the cabinet temperature steady. The most significant heat contributors inside an electrical cabinet are all the servo motors for all axes.

The CNC Drill Line is very simple to operate and most of our Avenger operators were the men doing layout on the floor. No prior computer knowledge is necessary, and full training is provided at the time of the installation

Frequently Asked Questions

Girders are long horizontal beams that serve as primary support for buildings. All other beams are connected to them, creating the "skeleton" of the structure. This is the easiest way to see the difference. Girders are large beams. All girders can be considered beams. However, not all beams can be called girders.

According to the International Residential Building Code (IRC), 2021, a common 6x6 softwood beam span is 3'-5" to 7'-6". The wood's strength and other variables affect how long the span. While hardwood of similar dimensions will span more than steel, the cost difference can be substantial.

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).

C-Channel is usually stronger than tube in the vertical direction (as shown in the beam profile chart picture above).

The span and loading conditions will determine the beam's overall depth. For simple supported beams, it can be taken to be between 1/12 and 1/15 of their span.
