Remote assistance cannot diagnose every problem. Frequently, mechanical issues and questions that require the attention of a human eye are still being addressed. Voortman machines come with high-definition web cameras and software. This allows Voortman employees the opportunity to see the installation in action without leaving the office. This webcam is invaluable in countries where English might not be an option or situations in which it may be difficult to communicate effectively.
The CNC Beam Drill Line works very well and Avenger operators were often the ones doing the layout. It is not necessary to have any computer knowledge. Full training is given at the time the installation is completed.
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.
Voortman’s Roller Feed Measuring system surpasses industry standards in roller measurement technology. The key to accurate measurements is not allowing for any production hesitations. Even when there are material variations, accuracy must be maintained.
CNC Beam Drill Lines can process beams and columns as well as all steel profiles including channel and angle, flat bar, base plate, RHS and square.
The UNIST MQL Coolant System has emerged as the leading coolant system in the USA over the past 10 years. It has been standard equipment for the Aveger FORTY (Plus), Avenger PLUS (Plus) and Clipper. This minimal quantity lubricant is an oil-based coolant that prolongs tool life. It is not toxic.
We believe that for now, based on current pricing from the various suppliers, the customer is better off with good quality Ocean Penetrator twist drill bits and a good quality sharpener.
Beam drill lines are important tools in medium to large-sized structural fabrication shops. Beam drill lines accurately drill holes in a variety of steel profiles at different lengths with CNC controlled programming. These machines eliminate the need to manually chalk or layout the positions and produce the hole by hand with a mag drill, punch, or plasma. This cumbersome process can take weeks and multiple employees to do the job. A beam drill line eliminates manual layout and the associated errors.
The attachment for 4-axis layout marking eliminates human error in manual layout. Even after galvanizing, blasting, and painting, part information can be retained.
Because you might get a request from a customer for a couple pieces of steel that require holes or layout markings, you will need to train your operator in Peddimat.
Let's look at Twist Drill Bits versus Insert Drill Bits in a real-world fabrication situation. Let's just focus on one example: 13/16" (22mm), which is the most common drilled hole diameter.
Let's take a look at how Insert Drill bits and Twist Drill Bits work in real-life fabrication situations. This is the most popular drilled hole diameter.
What good is a CNC drill line if it doesn't position a fabricator to compete at a high level in the steel fabrication arena. The Advantage-2 has the functionality to process technical programs with intelligence and speed. Equipped with three five-station tool changers, each drilling axis has the capability to drill, mill, countersink, tap and scribe. This drill line can also be equipped with a Signoscript underside scriber or Signomat part stamping unit. Part information is retained even after painting, blasting and galvanizing processes. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Carbide tooling gives the Advantage-2 more aggressive drilling and a higher quantity of holes than any drill line before it. The high torque drilling axes have a thicker more aggressive cut removing more chips with each rotation. This drill line will chew through beams, channel, angle, tube and even flat bar. With a processing window of 44 inches wide and 18 inches tall no profile can escape the reach of the Advantage-2.
CNC Beam Drill Lines are among the most economical CNC beam drill lines available. They allow fabricators to win more work and earn more margin.
H-Beams. H-beams is one of the strongest steel beams. It is composed of horizontal elements and the vertical beams act like the web.
How big a beam should span 24 feet? A 4 nailed 2x18, 4-2x18, or 8x18 wood beam will allow you to span 24ft. For a span of 24 feet, you'll need at least 4-2x18 or 8x18 wood beams.
There are several types of beam structures Continuous beams. Continuous beams are those that have two or more supports to reinforce the beam. ... Simply supported beams Simply supported beams have support at one end and both ends. ... Fixed beams ... Overhanging beams. ... Cantilever beam.
Manufacturers limit beams to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.
To reduce the chance of the beam escaping from the concrete column, the development length is required. It acts as a support member for the reinforced beam within the concrete column.
