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.
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.
The intelligence of a Voortman designed beam drill line is not only in its own capabilities but in its ability to be plugged into any environment through its modularity. Tandem solutions with band saws, robotic coppers and PeddiWriters further expand the shop's throughput positioning for a more economic approach when the steel industry cools down and a more aggressive approach when it heats back up. Voortman designed the Multmaster to help advance even the smallest parts into a tandem bandsaw. Utilizing the whole profile and minimizing the remnant leads fabricators toward better profits. More output? Check. As with any Voortman CNC drill line profit wouldn't be possible without material handling. Not only do fabricators lose money every time a profile is manually moved, but material handling is much safer for transferring the heaviest profiles when compared to fork trucks or cranes.
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.
This Morse Taper chuck adaptor permits you to use standard parallel shank drilling bits for smaller diameters. It has a maximum drilling diameter of 12mm. (12mm) and a minimum drill diameter of 3/64 (1mm).
Your operator will be trained in Peddimat. You might have customers who bring a couple of pieces with them.
As customers often bring a few pieces of steel with holes or layout marks, we train the operator to use Peddimat.
The CNC Drill Line is the most affordable CNC beam drill line on the market today and ensures that the fabricators is the low-cost producer, allowing him to win more work and to make more margin.
Voortman builds machines specifically for GSS Machinery to meet our demanding specifications. GSS Machinery specifically targets the small to medium fabricator whereas Voortman targets the larger fabricators. Voortman has been building machines for GSS Machinery for more than 10 years, and GSS Machinery is Voortman largest customer worldwide.
Continuous production? Check. You can check. The ability to process a profile in record time with triple-axis drilling and milling is possible thanks to the use of three axes. High-speed Siemens spindle motors of 25 horsepower provide industry-leading hole penetration speeds. Additionally, each drilling axis employs ball screw feed positioning. The drill line boasts an advanced clamping system specifically designed to reduce vibrations. Extreme accuracy? Check.
CNC Drill Lines are the most cost-effective CNC beam drill lines on the current market. This allows fabricators to win more work, and makes more margin.
MultMaster acts as an extension for the Roller Feed measurement device to perform cuts that otherwise would require manual positioning. This accessory allows for fast material processing using a Voortman drilling and saw tandem system.
Voortman offers training courses at their Bradley Illinois facility on all Voortman equipment. These courses are for both new and experienced operators. The facility's graduates return to their shops highly motivated, trained, and ready to increase productivity. For pricing and details, please call.
An attachment that marks 4-axis locations eliminates human error during manual layout. Even after painting blasting or galvanizing, the part information is still retained.
To resist and redistribute load, beams should bend. The girders on the other side are more rigid as they support the beams and provide horizontal support to the structure. The girder is designed to support large, all-encompassing loads like beam responses or structural pillars.
T Beam's disadvantages: Because the beam slab is monolithic (rigid), its resistance to lateral shear forces becomes very weak. (cracks develops quickly). This is why T beams are used for high-rise buildings in earthquake-prone areas.
Structural Beams/Load Bearing Support beams: A structural support beam that is load-bearing. These beams should not be drilled through. These can sometimes be different colors and are called LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) or Engineered Support Beam.
American Standard S-Beam, a type I-beam, is resistant to bending and shear loads. It is used in construction, shipbuilding, as well as other industries. An S-beam is similar to an I-beam but has tapered flanges which slope away from its inside surface.
You will need at least 4-2x16 or 8x16 wood beams to span 20 feet. A 4 nailed 2x16, 4-2x16, or 8x16 wood beam will allow you to span 20 feet.
