Cnc Beam Drill Line Setup

Our beam drill line machines feature central lubrication and linear guides. This ensures smooth operation and less maintenance. Each coordinate system has a 4-station tool changer that allows it to drill, mill and scribe as well as counter sink or tap. It can also swap tools mid-operation without any disruption. The positive beam positioning system consists of an arm attached on the feed conveyor to a rack-and-pinion system. This allows the beam to be positioned more precisely as it passes through the drill line.

The Advantage-2 employs a series of support clamps in order to achieve optimum rigidity of the workpiece through the machine. Carbide tool life is best sustained with the least amount of vibration possible.

“..Since purchasing our CNC Drill Line about four months ago, we have drilled approximately 25,000 holes. It used to take us approximately 5 minutes to lay out and drill each hole. Now it takes us approx. 30 seconds per hole … a savings of 1875 man hours in 4 months. In our shop that equals about $84,375! As you can see this machine will pay for itself in less than one year. Not only is it speeding up our production, it is freeing up floor space for additional jobs..”

Z-Reader Probe- The Z-Reader probe is used to map the surface. You can control it manually or programmatically. It is not active during cutting and can be retracted to keep it out of harm's path. You can trigger it to check the surface at each pierce before cutting begins. Or, you could use it to drive the surface mapping of the entire part. It starts with the initialization of the device to the surface at program start. The difference is then accumulated or tracked.

The Advantage-2 CNC beam is a powerful tool for material handling and precision measurement. This machine can be used in tandem with any Voortman’s automatic sawing systems.

Remote assistance cannot diagnose every problem. Frequently, mechanical issues and questions that require the attention of a human eye are still being addressed. Voortman machines come with high-definition web cameras and software. This allows Voortman employees the opportunity to see the installation in action without leaving the office. This webcam is invaluable in countries where English might not be an option or situations in which it may be difficult to communicate effectively.

Voortman proudly offers technical support 24 hours a day to its global clients. Voortman’s inside service staff have years-long experience in the field or assembly. They also have hands-on knowledge with many machines. Voortman's service personnel are always available to help you with any question that might arise.

Saw measurement options are available via the Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measurement system. The AccuMeasure allows for complete handling versatility, while maintaining a streamlined CNC solution. Splitting apart a drill and a saw allows neither machine to wait for the other, maximizing production.
