Drilling Holes
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.
The CNC Drill Line is a 100% hydraulic machine making maintenance and parts exceptionally affordable. The CNC Drill Line was designed specifically to be used throughout the world and thus uses only components from major manufacturers, most of which can be sourced in the local market. Voortman keeps all parts on hand for next day delivery in the USA. In most of our overseas countries we offer local service and support.
CNC Drill Lines can be used to drill holes in any type of material. CNC Drill Line was built to be universally used and therefore only utilizes components from top manufacturers. Many of these components can be obtained locally. Voortman always has spare parts available for next-day delivery within the USA. We offer support and local service in many of our overseas destinations.
The MultMaster works as an extension of the Roller Feed measurement system in order to perform cuts which may otherwise require manual positioning for programs with many small pieces. This accessory allows fast and simple material processing on a Voortman drill and saw tandem system by automating the processing of short remnant sections.
The FlexBeam is a newly launched machine tool developed for fast, accurate, and economic production of steel profiles. This machine is an efficient beam processing solution for small to medium-sized fab shops, looking to take on larger jobs.
With its strong material handling support and precise measurement capabilities, the Advantage-2 CNC beam drill is perfect for tandem installations with any Voortman automated sawing system.
AC Unit Mounted to Electrical Cabinet - This unit is mounted on the cabinet’s High Power (480v side). It is near the location where drives are mounted. This option allows for quicker heat dissipation, while keeping the cabinet temperature steady. The most significant heat contributors inside an electrical cabinet are all the servo motors for all axes.
We believe that, at this time, based upon the prices from different suppliers, the customer would be better off with high-quality Ocean Penetrator turn drill bits as well as a quality sharpener.
Programming the CNC Drill Line program is simple even if done manually. Peddimat software is used to program the CNC Drill Line. Most operators can learn how most parts are programmed in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However, it is easiest to program the machine from a CAD file. It is recommended that you use a 3D modeling software, such as StruMis or ProSteel 3D to create the CAD drawings. These files can then be imported directly into a machine. The operator just needs to select the part that is to be processed, and hit the Cycle start button.
The Advantage-2 is powered 25 HP (18.5 kW), Siemens spindlemotors. It comes with 3 drill spindles and 5-station tool changers. This powerful drilling technology allows you to maximize your operating time and drill hole performance.
We have been creating machines and solutions for steel fabricators for 50 years. As a result of the decreasing ability to find qualified labor and rising labor costs we focus on automation. This will allow you to lower your production costs and increase margins. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines will ensure that you have the highest level of productivity, accuracy, and reliability. Our CNC Beam Drill Lines combine many functions such as drilling, marking, countersinking and thread-tapping to maximize productivity and automate your workflow. Voortman offers a complete line of Beam Drill Lines that can be used for any type of production.
We train every operator on how to operate the machine using Peddimat. This is because you may be faced with a situation where a customer has a couple of pieces that need holes or layout marks. You want to be able produce these quickly and without disturbing your detailing staff, who might be working on a larger project.
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.
CNC Drill Lines are designed for general job shops and fabricators who need to drill holes into steel profiles of any type. Take a look at the following questions to determine if this machine suits your needs.
1- T beams have a greater second moment inertia than ordinary beams. This means they are more resistant to bending.
It is considered a girder if it is the main structural support made up of smaller beams. The Code does not specify the dimensions that will distinguish a beam and girder.
Based on the cover, assumed links and bar diameters, calculate the Effective Depth (d). Calculate K = M/( b d2fck ); where "M" stands for the applied bending moment, and "b" the beam width. "D" is concrete's characteristic cylinder strength.
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.
This can be avoided by using a well-designed concrete beam or increasing concrete's compression strength by adding steel reinforcement to the compression side or by increasing the beam geometry.
