CNC Beam Drill Line Birmingham
Beam drills are essential tools for medium-sized to large-sized structural fabricators. Beam drill lines can accurately drill holes in various steel profiles of different lengths and with CNC controlled programming. These machines remove the need to manually draw or lay out the positions. Instead, the machine produces the hole using a mag drill punch, plasma, or punch. This laborious process can take many hours and may require several employees. A beam drillline eliminates the need to manually plan and avoids any errors.
The intelligence of a Voortman designed beam drill line is not only in its own capabilities but in its ability to be plugged into any environment through its modularity. Tandem solutions with band saws, robotic coppers and PeddiWriters further expand the shop's throughput positioning for a more economic approach when the steel industry cools down and a more aggressive approach when it heats back up. Voortman designed the Multmaster to help advance even the smallest parts into a tandem bandsaw. Utilizing the whole profile and minimizing the remnant leads fabricators toward better profits. More output? Check. As with any Voortman CNC drill line profit wouldn't be possible without material handling. Not only do fabricators lose money every time a profile is manually moved, but material handling is much safer for transferring the heaviest profiles when compared to fork trucks or cranes.
Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines are often included in a combined Drill Saw Line or even in larger fully automated integrated production lines, also referred to as Multi System Integration. Find out more about it below!
The Morse Taper adaptor lets you use standard parallel shank drill bit sizes when drilling smaller diameters. The maximum drill diameter is?" It allows a maximum drill diameter of 12mm and a minimum drilling diameter of 3/64's (1mm).
Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measurement machine offers different saw measurements. AccuMeasure is flexible in handling and has a simplified CNC solution. Splitting apart a saw and drill allows each machine to work simultaneously, increasing production.
These drop-in, serrated grippers are used to secure flat bars, base plates, angles, and other profiles with rounded edges.
Voortman machines are the world leaders in structural steel fabrication technology. Steel fabricators that own Voortman machines uphold an advantage in the steel industry and have the ability to optimize tonnage capacity. The Advantage-2 CNC beam drill line is the backbone of any structural steel fabrication shop. High-speed, multi-spindle, relentless carbide drilling is the very core of this machine. The design of the Advantage-2 has created one of the most profitable drill lines in the steel industry. A heavy steel frame ensures this drill line will support shops for the long haul. The Advantage-2 can run profiles end to end with no stop in production all thanks to the roller feed design on the infeed and outfeed. Hundreds of fabricators across the globe run hundreds of thousands of tons of steel through their Advantage-2s year after year.
Peddimat has a simple, intuitive interface that is easy to understand.
Advantage-2 carbide drills are equipped with electronic ball screw feed spindle motors and an automatic tool changer technology. Combining these features with Voortman’s well-known build quality as well as mechanical design, the result is a combination that combines agility and strength.
These drop-in serrated graspers are ideal for securing base plates, flat bars, angle, and any other profile that may have rounded edges that push away from the datum.
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 creates machines just for GSS Machinery, to meet our high standards. GSS Machinery targets smaller to medium fabricators, while Voortman targets large fabricators. Voortman has been manufacturing machines for GSS Machinery over 10 years. GSS Machinery, Voortman’s largest customer worldwide, is Voortman.
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
The CNC Drill Line can lay out and drill all of your holes in any type of steel profile in fractions of the time that it takes to do manually with a mag drill. It also marks all your welded attachments, eliminating the need to use a tape measure.
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.
For small buildings, the distance between two reinforced columns is between 3-4m and 6-9m. Larger facilities that require large columns and lots of free space will have to be at least 6-9m. A distance of 5m is acceptable for ordinary structures. The maximum span is 7.5, while the minimum is 2.5m.
Channels, or C-beams, are used when the flat back side of the web is mounted to another flat surface. This allows for maximum contact. Sometimes they are welded back-to-back to create a non-standard I beam.
Wood Products Historically we have restricted hole sizes in Microllam (r) LVL and Parallam (r) PSL. Members 7.25'' or deeper can use a round hole of 2'' diameter for TimberStrand(r).
IS-456 (2000) Clause 29 states that a supported beam can be classified as deep if the ratio of its effective span to its overall depth D is less then 2. Continuous beams are classified as deep if the ratio L/D falls below 2.5. The centre-t is the measure of effective span.
