Peddimat has a simple, intuitive interface that is easy to understand.

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.

Programming the CNC Drill Line is simple, even when done manually. Peddimat is the machine programming program and most operators can learn to program most parts in less that an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. But, the best way is to program the machine directly from a 3D CAD drawing. This should be done in software such as StruMis, ProSteel 3D and SDS/2. These files can be imported directly to the machine. After selecting the part to process, the operator clicks on the Cycle Start Button.

Programming the CNC Drill Line is very simple and intuitive even for operators with no CNC or computer experience.

The Advantage-2 CNC beam drill line with its powerful material handling support, meticulous measurement capabilities and high speed designs are ideal for tandem installations with any of Voortman' automatic sawing systems.

Voortman makes machines for GSS Machinery in order to meet our exact specifications. GSS Machinery targets small- to medium-sized fabricators, while Voortman targets larger fabricators. Voortman has been designing machines for GSS Machinery since more than 10 years. GSS Machinery is Voortman's largest customer globally.

V Block Drill Guide

Z-Reader Probe – The Z-Reader is a device for mapping the location of the surface. It can be controlled manually & programmatically. The option is NOT active while cutting & is retracted out of harm’s way. It can be triggered to verify the surface at every pierce before the cutting process starts, or it could be used to drive surface mapping of the whole part before cutting starts. It begins with initialization or zeroing of the device to the surface at the beginning of a program and then accumulates or tracks the difference from that zeroing effort.

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Flange of T-beam/L-beam refers to the portion of the slab that acts in tandem with the beam to resist loads. The beam below the flange can be called Web or Rib. The T-beams support the slab, while the L-beams support it.

As a minimum beam diameter, all structural engineers recommend a 12mm dia bar.

Beams are designed to allow vertical deflections of no more than 1/180 (or 0.55%) of the horizontal beam length measured at the ends of beams.

The shorter beam will therefore be stronger when carrying the same load. To compare beam strengths, it is necessary to take into account more than the section modulus.

Codes do not specify beam dimensions. These requirements are related to reinforced concrete beams' width-depth ratio. As a general rule, it is best to use depths that are two-and-a-half to three times the beam width. It is more economical to use narrower sections for long-span beams.
