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.

The intelligence of a Voortman designed beam drill line is not only in its own capabilities but in its ability to be plugged into any environment through its modularity. Tandem solutions with band saws, robotic coppers and PeddiWriters further expand the shop's throughput positioning for a more economic approach when the steel industry cools down and a more aggressive approach when it heats back up. Voortman designed the Multmaster to help advance even the smallest parts into a tandem bandsaw. Utilizing the whole profile and minimizing the remnant leads fabricators toward better profits. More output? Check. As with any Voortman CNC drill line profit wouldn't be possible without material handling. Not only do fabricators lose money every time a profile is manually moved, but material handling is much safer for transferring the heaviest profiles when compared to fork trucks or cranes.

Voortman built the CNC Drill Line only for GSS Machinery. Voortman manages the installation, warranty and maintenance of the CNC Drill Line. Voortman is the service provider. GSS Machinery is available to help if needed.

I truly believe that without the support provided by the staff and personnel at GSS Machinery we would not be performing in the steel fabrication markets that we now enviably find ourselves competing in..”

CNC Drill Line will not only drill columns and beams but can also process all types of steel profiles such as channel, angle, flat bars, base plates and RHS square and circular profiles.

The ability of milling copes greatly speeds up project execution times. The Advantage-2 user friendly Raptor 3DCAD/CAM tool allows for quick programming. You can inspect, modify, or export part information from within the 3D platform. Advantage-2 drill's biggest benefits are the scribing, ability to mill slots and large lifting hole. This really is what sets this machine apart. The scribing makes it possible to make layout lines, point center and place pieces. It has been fantastic to be able to use it at our convenience and make the right decision.

Voortman has shaped today’s CNC beam drill line standard with time-tested technology. The Advantage-2 processes an average of 150 tons of steel per work week with the most efficient drilling, milling, scribing, tapping and countersinking operations.

CNC Drill Line is specifically designed for fabricators or general job shops who need to drill holes through steel profiles of all kinds. The following questions can help you decide if this machine is right for your needs.

What is a beam drill line

"..We have drilled around 25,000 holes since purchasing our CNC Drill Line approximately four months ago. It used to take 5 minutes to drill each hole. We now spend approximately. 30 seconds per hole, which is a saving of 1875 man-hours over the course of 4 months. That's $84,375 for our shop! You can see that this machine will pay back in less than one years. This machine not only speeds up our production, but it also opens up the floor for new jobs.

The Franklin HD145 (3) spindle-cNC drill is 44 inches wide. The HD-145 can lift beams of up to 750 lbs per feet. The high-performance spindle design allows drilling speeds of up to 2000 RPM. The rigid design of the spindle allows for very aggressive feed rates, up to 300 ft per minute. There are many material handling options available for the Franklin HD145, from 300 lbs to 750 pounds per foot.

In most countries that we serve, we offer local assistance and support.

Frequently Asked Questions

A cobalt-blend drill bit is the best for drilling hardened metals or steel. This alloy includes 5% to 8% cobalt. The cobalt is a part of the steel mixture, so it doesn't wear away with a coating (like titanium bits).

Metal cannot be cut by conventional drill bits so you will need a hard-working, heavy-duty drill bit. For metalworking tasks, there are two types of drill bits: cobalt and titanium.

Horizontal Beams are the most commonly used structural members. They are usually horizontal, but they can be oriented in any direction. Beams are large horizontal members which carry floor loads from floors, walls or roofs to columns or foundation walls.

A36 is a popular low-carbon, low-cost steel that is widely used. It is known for its high yield strength (36,000psi) as well as its excellent machinability. A36 can be extended to approximately 20% of its original length and is often used for columns, beams and decking.

C-channel frames are stronger against rust.
