Voortman-designed beam drilling lines have intelligence not only in their own capabilities but also in the fact that they can be plugged into any environment because of their modularity. Tandem solutions, such as band saws with robotic coppers or PeddiWriters, expand the shop’s throughput positioning. It allows for a more cost-effective approach when the steel sector cools down and a more aggressive one when it heats. Voortman invented the Multmaster, which can be used to advance small parts into a tandem-bandsaw. Fabricators are more profitable when they use the whole profile and minimize the remnant. Do you want more output? Check. Material handling is key to any Voortman CNC drill-line profit. Fabricators not only lose money when a profile is manually moved but material handling is far safer than using fork trucks and cranes to move the largest profiles.
It doesn't matter if a CNC drill isn't able to position a steel fabricator to be competitive in the steel fabrication market. The Advantage-2's ability to process technical files with intelligence, speed and precision is what makes it so special. Each drilling axis can operate with three five-station tools changers. Signoscript's underside scriber and Signomat's part stamping unit can be attached to this drill axis. Part information is preserved even after galvanizing, blasting, and painting. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Advantage-2 uses carbide tooling to drill more holes and is more aggressive than any other drill. High torque drilling instruments have a thicker and more aggressive cut which removes more chips from each rotation. This drill can remove beams, channel and angle tubes as well as flat bars. Advantage-2's processing window is 44 inches wide by 18 inches high.
