Programming the CNC 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.
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.
