Angle Drilling
Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines are often included in a combined Drill Saw Line or even in larger fully automated integrated production lines, also referred to as Multi System Integration. Find out more about it below!
The CNC Drill Line is able to lay out and drill holes in any steel profile in half the time it takes with a mag drilling machine.
Renishaw 5Axis Calibration – The calibration unit used is a Renishaw model APCA45 and a modified spherical pen. It has a retractable cover that can be removed and an air purge that will remove any dust or debris from the device during activation. It is mounted to a swingarm controlled by a pneumaticrotary. The device swings into calibration for calibration only.
Advantage-2 uses a variety of support clamps to ensure maximum rigidity through the machine. Carbide tool life can be extended by reducing vibrations as much as possible.
The CNC Drill Line can lay out and drill all of your holes in any type of steel profile in fractions of the time that it takes to do manually with a mag drill. It also marks all your welded attachments, eliminating the need to use a tape measure.
Peddimat has a simple, intuitive interface that is easy to understand.
The CNC Beam Drill Line is a hit among small and medium fabricators, who can fabricate both structural steel as well as miscellaneous metals. The CNC Drill Line was first introduced in 2003 and has been used by more than 600 steel fabricators around the globe.
Z-Reader Probe-The Z-Reader Probe is a device that maps the location of the surface. It can be programmed or manually controlled. It can be disabled while cutting, and it can be pulled out of harm's reach. It can be activated to verify the surface at each pierce prior to cutting, or to drive surface mapping for the entire part before cutting begins. It is used to initialize or zero the device to the desired surface and then tracks or accumulates the difference between that zeroing effort.
Programming the CNC Drill Line program is simple even if done manually. Peddimat software is used to program the CNC Drill Line. Most operators can learn how most parts are programmed in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However, it is easiest to program the machine from a CAD file. It is recommended that you use a 3D modeling software, such as StruMis or ProSteel 3D to create the CAD drawings. These files can then be imported directly into a machine. The operator just needs to select the part that is to be processed, and hit 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.
Continuous production? Check. It is more than just being able to manage processes. Fabricators must also be able to meet industry standards for quality and time management. Triple axis drilling allows for fast processing. The Siemens spindle motors are 25 horsepower and have industry-leading penetration times. Each axis is equipped with ball screw feed positioning. The drill line features an advanced clamping system to minimize vibrations due to its high power. Extreme accuracy Check.
AC Unit on Electrical Cabinet. - The unit can be mounted on the cabinet’s High power (480v), side. It is in close proximity to the location that the drives are located. This option maintains the cabinet temperature and speeds up heat dissipation. All axes' servo drives are the major contributors to heat within the electrical cabinets.
Voortman machinery is the worldwide leader in structural steel fabrication technology. Voortman machines provide steel fabricators with an advantage in the steel sector and allow them to maximize tonnage. Advantage-2 CNC beam drill is the core of any structural-steel fabrication shop. This machine is the heart of it all. It can drill endless carbide holes at high speeds, with multiple spindles, and at high speed. Advantage-2 is the most productive drill line in the steel sector. This drill line supports shops over the long term thanks to its heavy steel frame. The Advantage-2 is able to run profiles from one end to the other without any stops in production thanks to its roller feed design for the outfeed and infeed. Many fabricators around the globe use their Advantage-2s every year to make hundreds of thousands of tons steel.
With its strong material handling support and precise measurement capabilities, the Advantage-2 CNC beam drill is perfect for tandem installations with any Voortman automated sawing system.
Channel would cost less than a similar thickness of square tubing but would last longer because it is channel x2. You could easily make a bolt-together rack with channel by welding flat steel caps (IE top of the uprights).
Which drill can I use to drill steel beams with? You can use drills made of high-speed steel (HSS), as mentioned previously. You can drill with a twist drill, core drill, or hole saw in the HSS, HSS-5, and tungsten carbide tool steels. You can also use hole saws, which do not drill into the workpiece as well as core drills.
Frame structures or special structures can use a T beam. A single RC beam should be used if the load is very low. A double RC beam is recommended for intermediate loads. If the load is extremely high, we should use the T beam at an intermediate beam and the L beam at its edge.
A 10mm diameter bar can be used to reinforce a beam's longitudinally, but this all depends on the beam's size, span, and the load placed over it. The designer determines the steel cross-section area required when designing.
Drill Lines Wire Rope Bright drill lines are made from a multi-threaded, twisty wire rope. It is specially designed for drilling rigs as well as hoisting and lowering the drill pipes through a wellbore. As it is constantly in motion, the wire rope construction is very durable and resists abrasion.
