Cnc Beam Drill Line Chart

For 50 years we have been developing machines and solutions for you as a steel fabricator. We focus on automation as a response to the ever-decreasing ability to find quality labor and rising labor costs, so you can lower your overall production costs and increase your margins.You can ensure the utmost productivity, accuracy and reliability with one of Voortman’s CNC Beam Drill lines. Our CNC Beam Drill Lines integrate many functions like drilling, milling, marking, countersinking, thread-tapping and more to increase capacity and automation and optimize your workflow. Due to Voortman's complete range of advanced Beam Drill Lines, there is a suitable Beam Drill Line solution for every type of production or company.

Voortman created Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software. It allows users to program faster and with greater accuracy. The 3D platform lets you inspect, modify, export and export information directly. This combined with Voortman CNC technology allows for maximum fabrication capacity.

GSS Machinery receives a lot of questions from customers asking us which drill bits we should use. Are they insert bits or twist bits? We are committed to ensuring that our customers have the lowest cost per hole, which will make them more profitable and competitive. But, it is essential that they fully comprehend their options. Insert Drill Bit/Spade Drill Bit Advantages

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.

Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has a Drill Line or Beam Drill Line that will suit every fabricator. We also have Beam drills for those who have limited work space.

Auto Standoff - This is a surface standoff, and should not be confused in any way with vector standoff using 5-axis mode. Auto stand-off will adjust vertically according to the angle of "A" Axis. There are five (5) axis that are considered during calculations. The machine can be controlled manually using buttons on its screen to make the vector standoff change.

Renishaw Calibration 5-Axis - The calibration unit for the Renishaw model APCA45 is equipped with a modified spherical pencil. The activation process is completed with a retractable covering and an air purge. It attaches on a swing arm controlled via a pneumatic Rotary.

Voortman offers regular training courses on all Voortman and Ocean equipment at their facility in Bradley Illinois. These courses are suitable for new operators and for refreshing existing operators. Employees that pass through this facility return to your shop highly trained, motivated and eager to improve your productivity. Please call for details and pricing.

Yes. Yes. We have numerous CNC Beam Drill Line installation outside. However, the control panel and the mobile platform must be protected from the elements. Contact us for photos of outside installations.

Continuous production? Check. Fabricators' edge is not just the ability to handle processes but also the time required to complete them while meeting or exceeding industry standards. Triple-axis drilling, milling and machining allow for processing complete profiles in record time. The industry's fastest 25 horsepower Siemens spindlemotors power this strength. Each drilling axis also uses ball screw feeding positioning. This drill line has an advanced clamping mechanism that minimizes vibrations thanks to all its power. Extreme accuracy Check.

What makes a beam stronger

GSS Machinery's magnetic brush, broom and magnet brush help to remove chips from machines and sweep up chips on the floor.

Voortman exclusively designed and built the CNC Beam Drill Line to fit GSS Machinery. Voortman oversees all aspects of the CNC Beam Drill Line, including warranty and service. Voortman acts as the service provider. GSS Machinery will always assist should the need arise.

Each of our beam drill line machines have linear guides, central lubrication, and a tool cooling system to ensure smooth operation and lower maintenance. Within each coordinate system there is a 4 station tool changer, allowing it to drill, mill, scribe, counter sink, or tap as needed; tools can even be swapped out mid-operation easily and without disruption. Positive beam positioning consists of an arm attached to a rack and pinion system on the feed conveyor to more accurately position the beam as it goes through the drill line, maintaining .004”, making our steel beam drill lines much more accurate than friction roller machines.

We have been developing solutions and machines for steel fabricators over 50 years. As a solution to decreasing labor supply and rising labor costs, we are focusing on automation. Our goal is to reduce production costs and increase profit margins. Voortman CNC Beam Drilling lines can provide the best in productivity, accuracy, and reliability. Our CNC Beam Drill Lines incorporate many functions, such as drilling and milling, marking and countersinking. They also allow for thread-tapping and other tasks to improve productivity and optimize workflow. Voortman provides a comprehensive range of Beam Drill Lines for all types of production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Step one is to determine the beam's total load and live load. Identify the type of load that you are supporting (roof, floor, or non-snow) and then choose the span you require. Match the live load and total loads to the values in the tables. You will see the thickness and depth of each required member.

There are some guidelines and rules. According to IS 456:2000, the minimum thickness of RCC beams should not be less that 9'' (230mm). Therefore, RCC beams must be at least 9'' (230mm thick). Concrete grade M20 with T12 as tension bar at bottom and T10 at the top is recommended.

Use a slow speed to drill. The slower a bit spins the more hot it becomes. And heat dulls bits quickly. It is a good idea for drill bits to be used at a slow speed when drilling through metal. Drill bits for hard metals such as steel and larger diameters require slower speeds.

C-beam has lower strength tolerances than the I beam, which leads to lighter components. Continue reading if you have never used C-beam profiles.

The H beam's cross section is more robust than that of the I beam. This means it can support a heavier load. The cross section of the H beam, on the other hand, can only bear direct load and tensile. However, it cannot resist twisting due to its narrow cross section. It can only bear force in one direction.
