Material Handling
Voortman offers 24 hour technical support for our global clients. Voortman's service personnel have many years of experience working in the field, assembly or factory checkout. This allows them to be familiar with all types of machines. Voortman has a service team that is available 24/7 to answer your questions.
This adaptor for the Morse Taper Morse Taper drill bits allows you to use standard parallel shank bits when drilling smaller diameters. It can drill a maximum diameter of 12mm and a minimum diameter of 3/64'' (1mm). Maximum drill diameter is 12mm, minimum diameter is 3/64'' (1mm).
Programming the CNC Beam Drill Line is very simple and intuitive even for operators with no CNC or computer experience.
The Advantage-2 is powered by 25 HP (18.5kW) Siemens spindle motors. It has 3 drill spindles each with 5-station tool changers. This drilling technology is extremely efficient and allows for maximum operating time and excellent drill hole quality.
Advantage-2 utilizes a number of support clamps to maintain the maximum rigidity of the workpiece. Carbide tools last longer if there is as little vibration as possible.
The UNIST MQL coolant system has been the standard equipment on the Aveger FORTY and Avenger PLUS. This oil-based coolant promotes longer tool lives. It is not toxic.
It may be between a Vertical Machining Centre or a CNC Router when deciding on the CNC machinery that you want to buy. These two pieces of equipment can be used for different purposes. Which one should you choose?
Powered by 25 HP (18.5 kW) Siemens spindle motors, the Advantage-2 is outfitted with 3 drill spindles, each equipped with 5-station tool changers. This powerful drilling technology allows for maximized operating time and drill hole quality.
5-Axis Renishaw Calibration – The calibration unit is a Renishaw model APCA45 with a modified spherical stylus. The device has a retractable cover and air purge to clear debris & dust during the activation process. It mounts to a swing arm controlled by a pneumatic rotary, so it is out of the way during regular operation and swings into the calibration position for calibration only.
Auto Standoff is currently defined as surface-stand-off. This should not be confused for vector standoff with 5-axis. The current auto stand off is based on a moving surface. It will adjust vertically based the angle at the "A" Axis. You can perform the vector change even if the machine is not running with the help of buttons on screen.
Voortman machines have been the global leaders in structural steel fabrication technology. Voortman machines are a key part of steel fabricators' competitive advantage. They can optimize tonnage and maintain a high level of quality. Advantage-2 CNC beam drilling is the heart of any structural steel fabrication shop. This machine is a core component of a high-speed multi-spindle, relentless caride drilling. Advantage-2 is one of the most profitable lines in the steel industry. This drill line is built from heavy steel and will last for many years. Thanks to the roller feed design of the infeed/outfeed, the Advantage-2 can run profiles from end to end without any stop in production. Every year, hundreds of fabricators around the world run hundreds of thousands and tons of steel through their Advantage-2s.
Our beam drill line machines feature central lubrication and linear guides. This ensures smooth operation and less maintenance. Each coordinate system has a 4-station tool changer that allows it to drill, mill and scribe as well as counter sink or tap. It can also swap tools mid-operation without any disruption. The positive beam positioning system consists of an arm attached on the feed conveyor to a rack-and-pinion system. This allows the beam to be positioned more precisely as it passes through the drill line.
We always train your operator how to run the machine using Peddimat as you are often going to have the situation where a customer arrives with a couple of pieces of steel that need holes or layout marks and you want to be able to produce them quickly without bothering your detailing staff who might be busy on a larger job.
Advantage-2 uses a series support clamps to ensure that the workpiece is as rigid as possible through the machine. The minimum vibration is the best way to extend carbide tool life.
A box (or square shell) is the best shape in 2D for both directions. However, a cylindrical shell, or tube, is more efficient for bending in any direction. The I, or wide flange beam, is better for unidirectional bending.
To resist and redistribute load, beams should bend. The girders on the other side are more rigid as they support the beams and provide horizontal support to the structure. The girder is designed to support large, all-encompassing loads like beam responses or structural pillars.
Drill blowout can be prevented by attaching a scrap of wood to the backside the piece that you are drilling on. When you drill the whole, wood that would have otherwise "blown out", hits the scrap wood instead and stays in place.
C-channel frames are stronger against rust.
The strength tolerances of the C-beam are lower than those of the I-beam. This results in lighter components. Continue reading if you have never used C-beam profiles.
