Automatic Edge Finder – The edge finder can be used manually (Jogging method & Screen Buttons), programmatically, or fully automated (dedicated programme). This option adjusts offsets and program rotation to match orientation and location on the cutting board.
The ability to mill copes speeds up project completion times tremendously. Coupled with the Advantage-2 user-friendly Raptor 3D CAD/CAM software enables the operator to program parts quickly. Inspect, modify and export part information directly within the 3D platform. The biggest advantages of the Advantage-2 drill has been probably the scribing and the ability to mill slots, large lifting holes. I mean this really kind of sets this machine apart. With the scribing we're able to put piece marks and layout lines, center points. I mean having that flexibility to use it when we want to and make that decision has been really great.
“.. Although this machine is marketed for the Structural fabricators, I knew immediately it would work well for drilling truck frames. The accuracy & repeatability have ensured the assembly without error. The Avenger drills a set of channels for one truck in less than one 2 hours; when we did this manually, it would take 16 hours. This machine has increased our productivity & profitability hands down!..”
The CNC Beam Drill Line has been an immediate hit with the small to medium fabricator fabricating both structural steel and miscellaneous metals. Since it was introduced in 2003 more than 600 CNC Drill Line have been installed around the world, and this amazing machine has changed the lives of many a steel fabricator.
CNC Drill Line was designed for fabricators and general job shop personnel who need to drill holes in all kinds of steel profiles. These questions will help you determine if the machine is right for you.
The programming of the CNC Drill Line can be done intuitively even by operators who have never used a computer or CNC.
"..We have drilled approximately 25,000 hole since we purchased our CNC Drill Line just four months ago. It used take us about 5 minutes each to drill and lay out each hole. It now takes us around. 30 seconds per hole... an 1875 man hour savings in four months. That is $84,375 at our shop. As you can see, this machine will be fully paid off in less then one year. It is not only faster than our production, but it also allows us to free up floor space for other jobs.
After the Voortman technician has completed calibrating and installing your machine, he will spend some time with your operators to teach them our simple but thorough training program. The following training will be provided to your operators:
The Franklin HD145 (3) drill spindle CNC spindle, 44-inch wide. The HD-145 can support beams upto 775 lbs per ft. The hi-performance spindle design offers drilling speeds up to 2,200 RPM. This rigid design can deliver extremely high feed rates upto 300 feet per second. The Franklin HD145 is available with many material handling packages ranging in weight from 300 lbs/foot to 750.
The CNC Drill Line not only lays out and drills all your holes in any steel profile in a fraction of the time it takes you to do it manually with a mag drill, but it also lays out the marks for all your welded attachments, virtually eliminating the need for a tape measure.
Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines may be part of a Drill Saw Line combined or larger, fully automated integrated production lines. Also known as Multi System Integration. It's easy to learn more.
Voortman-designed beam drilling lines have intelligence not only in their own capabilities but also in the fact that they can be plugged into any environment because of their modularity. Tandem solutions, such as band saws with robotic coppers or PeddiWriters, expand the shop’s throughput positioning. It allows for a more cost-effective approach when the steel sector cools down and a more aggressive one when it heats. Voortman invented the Multmaster, which can be used to advance small parts into a tandem-bandsaw. Fabricators are more profitable when they use the whole profile and minimize the remnant. Do you want more output? Check. Material handling is key to any Voortman CNC drill-line profit. Fabricators not only lose money when a profile is manually moved but material handling is far safer than using fork trucks and cranes to move the largest profiles.
FlexBeam is an innovative machine tool that allows for quick, precise and economically produced steel profiles. This machine provides a cost-effective beam processing solution to small to medium-sized fabricators who are ready to handle larger jobs.
CNC Drill Line is a space-saving beam processing solution. It only takes up 70ft x 9.9ft. This makes it great for fabricators with limited space. CNC Drill Lines can also be placed outside, providing even more space for fabricators.
The effective depth of the slab and beam is the distance between the extreme compressive concrete fibre and the centroid tension reinforcement in section under flexible condition. It is also known as the distance between the centroid Steel of tension and the outermost face of the compression fibre.
When drilling hard metals, you will need a stronger bit. You can use the same standard high-speed steel bit you would use for wood if you are drilling a soft metal such as aluminum. Use a cobalt or titanium bit to drill steel or other hard metals.
AES and SHA differ in that AES is symmetrically keyed and has a longer key (safer than DES). It provides message encryption and is faster than other keys, including RSA. SHA hashing is also used to generate message digests to confirm message integrity.
Theoretically, a beam could be any length provided it was properly designed. The issue is one of practicality. Although it's theoretically possible to have an RC beam 16m long, it is very difficult to have a reinforcement bars that are longer than 12m.
It's also known as a "secondary beam". A secondary beam is one that rests on and transfers its loads to a primary beam, which then transfers them to the columns.
