Remote assistance can't solve all problems. Still, there are common mechanical issues or questions that require human attention. Voortman machines include high definition web cameras with software. Voortman workers can directly experience the installation from their offices without having to travel. It is very useful in situations where the language barrier might make it difficult to communicate or for countries outside of the United States.
The CNC Beam Drill Line can not only process columns and beams, but also all steel profiles, including channel, angle and flat bars, base plates, RHS square and round.
The CNC Beam Drill Line is built exclusively for GSS Machinery by Voortman. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the CNC Beam Drill Line. And while Voortman is the service provider, GSS Machinery is always there to get involved should the need arise.
Programming the CNC Beam 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.
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.
Voortman's beam drill line design is intelligent not only because of its capabilities, but also because it can be easily plugged into any environment due to its modularity. Tandem solutions that include band saws, robotic coppers, and PeddiWriters expand the shop’s throughput positioning. This allows for a more economical approach to the steel industry when it cools down and a more aggressive approach as the industry heats up. Voortman created the Multmaster to make it possible for even the smallest parts to be turned into a tandem bandsaw. Fabricators will make more money by using the entire profile and minimising the remnant. Increase your output Check. Material handling is essential for any Voortman CNC drill lines to make a profit. Fabricators can lose money each time a profile has to be manually moved. However, material handling is safer than using fork trucks or cranes for the most heavy profiles.
We believe that, based on current pricing, the customer is better served with good quality Ocean Penetrator Twist Drill Bits and a good sharpener.
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.
Voortman is the man behind today's CNC beam drilling line standard. He has used time-tested technology. Advantage-2 processes 150 tonnes of steel per week on average. It is the most efficient way to drill, mill, tap, and countersink.
GSS Machinery gets asked often by our customers which drill bits to use. Should they use twist drill bits, or insert bits. As this will help our customers be more competitive and more profitable, it is our number one goal to reduce the cost per hole. But it is crucial that they understand all of their options. Insert Drill Bit (Spade Drill Bit). Advantages
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.
The primary structural framing component that will support the load is the beams. To resist and redistribute load, beams must bend. Girders on the other side are rigid because they support the beams and provide the main horizontal support.
Different types of drills. Hand drill. Hand drills or eggbeaters are manual tools that run on gear. ... Brace drill. Another manual drilling tool, this one was invented in the 1420s. ... Corded drill. The corded drill is the best choice when it comes to electric drills. ... Hammer drill. ... Cordless drill. ... Drill press.
Size of an LVL beam for a 20-foot span: As a general rule, a GLULAM or LVL should measure 10-12 inches in depth and 3 inches in width for a span of 20 feet. This means that a GLULAM or 10-12 inch GLULAM is required for residential buildings or projects.
C or Channel Beams. Channel beams are typically used to support lighter loads. They are a popular choice for residential construction and not for heavy construction.
The shorter beam will therefore be stronger for the same load. To compare beam strengths as the length changes, it takes more than the section modulus.
