The CNC Beam Drill Line is a hit among small and medium fabricators, who can fabricate both structural steel as well as miscellaneous metals. The CNC Drill Line was first introduced in 2003 and has been used by more than 600 steel fabricators around the globe.
Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measurement equipment offers saw measurement options. AccuMeasure provides complete handling versatility while offering a simple, streamlined CNC solution. This allows for both a drill and saw to be disassembled, which maximizes production.
We believe that, based on current pricing, the customer is better served with good quality Ocean Penetrator Twist Drill Bits and a good sharpener.
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.
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 24-hour tech support can resolve 90%, but there is an extensive network of 50+ Voortman service personnel who are stationed in North and South America as well as Europe, Africa and Asia.
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.
Voortman exclusively designed and built the CNC Drill Line to fit GSS Machinery. Voortman oversees all aspects of the CNC Drill Line, including warranty and service. Voortman acts as the service provider. GSS Machinery will always assist should the need arise.
FlexBeam is a brand new machine tool for producing steel profiles. It can be used to produce high-quality, cost-effectively and quickly. This machine can handle large-scale jobs and is an efficient option for small- to medium-sized fabrication shops.
GSS Machinery's magnetic brush & broom are used to remove chips from the machine, and sweep up chips from floors.
The Advantage-2 carbide drill line utilizes automatic tool changing technology and completely electronic ball screw feed spindle motion. This combined with Voortman' renowned build quality and mechanical design provide the ultimate combination of agility and strength.
The CNC Drill Line is built exclusively for GSS Machinery by Voortman. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the CNC Drill Line. And while Voortman is the service provider, GSS Machinery is always there to get involved should the need arise.
Voortman's service technician will finish calibrating your machine and spend time with you, your operators. He will then take them through our easy-to-understand training program. You will receive instruction in:
"..We have drilled approximately 25.000 holes since we purchased our CNC Drill Line four months ago. It used to take us 5 minutes to drill each hole. It now takes us approximately. It takes us 30 seconds per hole... that's a savings of 1875 hours over 4 months. This is equivalent to $84,375 in our shop. This machine will pay off in less than a year, as you can see. It not only speeds up production but also frees up space for more jobs.
These nodes can connect a beam to a column or a wall. A beam that supports multiple beams is called the main beam. Some of its nodes can be non-supporting. These can be, for example, the nodes on which secondary beams rest.
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.
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.
CNC drilling is a process where a rotating cutter cuts holes in a stationary piece of workpiece. These holes are usually made to accept machine screws or bolts. They can also be used to enhance the aesthetics of the component.
A36 is a popular low-carbon, low-cost steel that is widely used. It is known for its high yield strength (36,000psi) as well as its excellent machinability. A36 can be extended to approximately 20% of its original length and is often used for columns, beams and decking.
