Cnc Drill Line Head

"..In our efforts to satisfy customer demands and increase productivity, we installed a new beam drilling line. This has resulted in a lower labor cost and faster turnaround times that have always helped us land high quality jobs.

Beam drills can be a valuable tool in large and medium-sized structural fabrication shops. Beam drills are able to drill holes in a wide range of steel profiles, at different lengths, using CNC controlled programming. These machines make it possible to eliminate the need for manually drawing or laying out the positions. This lengthy process can take up to a week and requires multiple workers. A beam drill line eliminates manual planning and any associated errors.

"..We have drilled about 25,000 holes since we bought our CNC Drill Line around four months back. We used to need to drill every hole in 5 minutes. It takes us about. 30 seconds per hole = a savings totaling 1875 manhours in just 4 months. This saves us $84,375. This machine will pay for its cost in less that one year. It speeds up our production and frees up floor space to allow for additional jobs.

Although 90% of support issues can be resolved by Voortman’ 24 Hour Tech Support center, an expansive network of 50+ Voortman field service personnel are stationed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand.

Programming of the CNC Drill Line is very simple even when done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat and most operators can learn how to program most parts in less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However the best way to program the machine is to import parts directly from a CAD drawing preferably done in some 3-D modeling software such as Tekla Structures, SDS/2, ProSteel 3D, StruMis etc. These files import directly into the machine and the operator merely selects the part to be processed and hits the Cycle Start button.

Voortman machines are world leaders in structural metal fabrication technology. Voortman machines give steel fabricators an edge in the industry. They have the ability optimize tonnage capacity. Advantage-2 CNC beam drill lines are the foundation of any structural steel fabrication workshop. This machine's core is high-speed, multi-spindle relentless carbide drilling. Advantage-2 is the most profitable steel industry drill line. The drill line's heavy steel frame will ensure that it can support shops for the long-term. Because of the roller feed design on both the infeed and output, the Advantage-2 can run profile end-to-end without stopping production. Each year, hundreds upon hundreds of metal fabricators use their Advantage-2s to produce steel in excess of tens of thousands of tonnes.

Automatic Edge Finder - The edge locater can be used either manually (Jogging Mechanism & Screen Buttons), programmatically or completely automated (dedicated programs). This option adjusts the offsets and rotation of the program to match the cutting table's orientation.

GSS Machinery wants to give you as many options possible when drilling with your CNC Drill Line and any other CNC Beam Drill Line.
