Cnc Beam Drill Line Manual

Advantage-2 carbide drills use electronic ball screw drive spindle motion and automatic tool change technology. The combination of Voortman's legendary build quality and mechanical design gives the best combination of strength, agility, and strength.

Continuous production? Check. The fabricator's edge does not come from the ability to just handle processes, but in the time it takes to complete them and simultaneously exceed industry standards for quality. Triple axis drilling and milling leads to processing a complete profile in record time. Powered by high-speed 25 horsepower Siemens spindle motors, this strength captures industry-leading hole penetration times and each drilling axis utilizes ball screw feed positioning. With all that power under the hood this drill line wields an advanced clamping system designed specifically to bring vibrations to the bare minimum. Extreme accuracy? Check.

Cnc Beam Drill Line Equation

Voortman’ Roller Feed Measurement system exceeds the industry standard for roller measurement technology. Maintaining accurate measurements without any hesitation in production is crucial. Accuracy is not compromised even despite deviations in material.

The CNC Drill Line can be operated easily and Avenger operators are the ones who lay out the floor. You don't need any prior computer knowledge and are given full training at the time of installation.

Even if you are programming the CNC Drill Line manually, it is easy to program. Peddimat machine programming software can be used and most operators will learn how to program most of the parts in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. It is best to program the machine by importing parts directly from a 3-D modeling program such as ProSteel 3D, StruMis, Tekla Structures, SDS/2 or StruMis. These files are imported directly into your machine. Once you have selected the part, hit the Cycle Start button.

Voortman makes machines for GSS Machinery in order to meet our exact specifications. GSS Machinery targets small- to medium-sized fabricators, while Voortman targets larger fabricators. Voortman has been designing machines for GSS Machinery since more than 10 years. GSS Machinery is Voortman's largest customer globally.

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.

We believe that for now, based on current pricing from the various suppliers, the customer is better off with good quality Ocean Penetrator twist drill bits and a good quality sharpener.

Voortman offers regularly scheduled training courses for all Voortman Ocean equipment in their Bradley Illinois facility. These courses are available for both new operators and retraining existing operators. Participants who have completed this course return to the shop motivated, highly trained and eager to improve their productivity. Call us for more information and pricing.

The CNC Drill Line has two options: it can be programmed in-house or at work using the Peddimat programming software. This software comes as part of the AVENGER. The unlimited license allows you to install it on as many machines in your workplace as you'd like. It's the same software found on your machine.

What makes a beam stronger

"..We have drilled around 25,000 holes since purchasing our CNC Drill Line approximately four months ago. It used to take 5 minutes to drill each hole. We now spend approximately. 30 seconds per hole, which is a saving of 1875 man-hours over the course of 4 months. That's $84,375 for our shop! You can see that this machine will pay back in less than one years. This machine not only speeds up our production, but it also opens up the floor for new jobs.

Let's look at Twist Drill Bits versus Insert Drill Bits in a real-world fabrication situation. Let's just focus on one example: 13/16" (22mm), which is the most common drilled hole diameter.

".. Although the machine is targeted at structural fabricators, I found it to be very useful for drilling truck frames. This machine is very accurate and repeatable, which has made it easy to put together a truck frame. Avenger drills a series of channels for one truck within two hours. It takes 16 hours to do the same thing manually. This machine has dramatically increased our productivity, profitability, and efficiency !.."

GSS Machinery staff and personnel have been a tremendous support to me. Without them, I believe we wouldn't be in the position we find ourselves in in the steel fabricating markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

CNC-controlled programming allows beam drill lines to accurately drill holes in various steel profiles. These machines can be used to cut holes in a variety of steel profiles without the need for you to manually draw or lay out the positions.

Girders are long horizontal beams that serve as primary support for buildings. All other beams are connected to them, creating the "skeleton" of the structure. This is the easiest way to see the difference. Girders are large beams. All girders can be considered beams. However, not all beams can be called girders.

According to the International Residential Building Code (IRC), 2021, a common 6x6 softwood beam span is 3'-5" to 7'-6". The wood's strength and other variables affect how long the span. While hardwood of similar dimensions will span more than steel, the cost difference can be substantial.

A 10mm diameter bar can be used to reinforce a beam's longitudinally, but this all depends on the beam's size, span, and the load placed over it. The designer determines the steel cross-section area required when designing.
