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.
Auto Stand-Off – This is currently defined to be surface stand-off and not to be confused with vector stand-off in 5-axis mode. The current auto stand-off is based on a changing surface and will adjust vertically based on the angle of the “A” Axis, so there is five (5) axis taken into account during the calculations, but this is not the same as the tool vector stand-off. There is the ability to do the vector stand-off change while the machine is running manually with buttons on the screen.
Let's take a look at how Insert Drill bits and Twist Drill Bits work in real-life fabrication situations. This is the most popular drilled hole diameter.
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.
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.
Peddimat is incredibly simple and intuitive, and takes less than an hour to learn, even if you have never worked on a computer in your life.
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.
“..In an effort to meet customer demands and increase production, we have installed a new beam drill line the resulting reduced labor cost and quicker turnaround times have consistently helped usin landing quality jobs.
Voortman machinery is the worldwide leader in structural steel fabrication technology. Voortman machines provide steel fabricators with an advantage in the steel sector and allow them to maximize tonnage. Advantage-2 CNC beam drill is the core of any structural-steel fabrication shop. This machine is the heart of it all. It can drill endless carbide holes at high speeds, with multiple spindles, and at high speed. Advantage-2 is the most productive drill line in the steel sector. This drill line supports shops over the long term thanks to its heavy steel frame. The Advantage-2 is able to run profiles from one end to the other without any stops in production thanks to its roller feed design for the outfeed and infeed. Many fabricators around the globe use their Advantage-2s every year to make hundreds of thousands of tons steel.
The Franklin HD145 (3) CNC spindle drill has a 44-inch width. The HD-145 can handle beams up to 775 lbs per foot. High-performance spindles are capable of drilling at speeds up to 2,000 RPM. This rigid design allows for extremely fast feed rates of up to 300 feet per minute. You can order the Franklin HD145 with a variety of material handling packages, ranging from 300 lbs per feet to 750 lbs each foot.
CNC Drill Line is specifically designed for fabricators or general job shops who need to drill holes through steel profiles of all kinds. The following questions can help you decide if this machine is right for your needs.
It is obviously preferable to import files directly from your steel detailing software because it eliminates an unnecessary step and also eliminates possible incorrect data capture. There are two separate and distinct camps in this respect:
What good is a CNC drill line if it doesn't position a fabricator to compete at a high level in the steel fabrication arena. The Advantage-2 has the functionality to process technical programs with intelligence and speed. Equipped with three five-station tool changers, each drilling axis has the capability to drill, mill, countersink, tap and scribe. This drill line can also be equipped with a Signoscript underside scriber or Signomat part stamping unit. Part information is retained even after painting, blasting and galvanizing processes. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Carbide tooling gives the Advantage-2 more aggressive drilling and a higher quantity of holes than any drill line before it. The high torque drilling axes have a thicker more aggressive cut removing more chips with each rotation. This drill line will chew through beams, channel, angle, tube and even flat bar. With a processing window of 44 inches wide and 18 inches tall no profile can escape the reach of the Advantage-2.
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.
3) Calculation for depth and width of continuous beam. Total depth = Effective depth + Diameter of Bar/2 + Clear Cover Size. The beam width is Depth/1.5. Beam width should not exceed 200mm The beam's total depth is the effective depth minus the diameter of the bar/2 and clear cover size.
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.
Drill blowout can be prevented by attaching a scrap of wood to the backside the piece that you are drilling on. When you drill the whole, wood that would have otherwise "blown out", hits the scrap wood instead and stays in place.
Frame structures or special structures can use a T beam. A single RC beam should be used if the load is very low. A double RC beam is recommended for intermediate loads. If the load is extremely high, we should use the T beam at an intermediate beam and the L beam at its edge.
C-channel frames are stronger against rust.
