Flexible Coupling
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.
AC Unit installed on Electrical Cabinet – The unit is mounted on cabinet's High Power side (480v). It is right next to the location of the drives. This allows the cabinet to maintain a stable temperature and heat dissipation to occur faster. The most important contributors of heat to the electrical cabinet are the servo drive for all axes.
Voortman's dedication to customer service and support is unmatched and the gold standard of the industry. Voortman has a worldwide team of customer service representatives who are available 24 hours a day at the Voortman customer support center. Voortman support is just a click or call away. With state-of the-art remote diagnostic software and readily available local field support, as well as an industry-leading warranty, it's easy to get help.
Beam drills are crucial tools in medium-sized and large-sized structural fabricating shops. Beam drilling machines drill holes accurately in a variety steel profiles at different lengths. These machines are able to automatically draw the lines and create the hole manually using a punch, mag drill, or plasma. This time-consuming process can take weeks, and many people are needed to complete the task. A beam drillline eliminates manual layouts and the associated errors.
GSS Machinery's magnetic brush & broom are used to remove chips from the machine, and sweep up chips from floors.
The CNC Drill Line is programmed either manually on the machine or by using the Peddimat program. This software is included in the AVENGER. It can be installed on any number of computers in your office that you like. It is the exact same software as the machine, and it is also used on all Voortman CNC fabrication machinery.
Voortman is the man behind today's CNC beam drilling line standard. He has used time-tested technology. Advantage-2 processes 150 tonnes of steel per week on average. It is the most efficient way to drill, mill, tap, and countersink.
Z-Reader Probe – The Z-Reader is a device for mapping the location of the surface. It can be controlled manually & programmatically. The option is NOT active while cutting & is retracted out of harm’s way. It can be triggered to verify the surface at every pierce before the cutting process starts, or it could be used to drive surface mapping of the whole part before cutting starts. It begins with initialization or zeroing of the device to the surface at the beginning of a program and then accumulates or tracks the difference from that zeroing effort.
Yes. We have many CNC Drill Line installations outside. However suitable weather protection must be provided to the control panel and moving mobile platform. Please feel free to contact us to see photos from many of our outside installations.
Z-Reader Probe-- The Z-Reader Probe can be used to locate the surface. It can be used to programmatically or manually. This option is not activated while cutting and is easily retracted. It can be used to verify the surface of each pierce, or to map the entire surface before cutting begins. It starts by initializing or zeroing the device to a surface at the start of a program. After that, it accumulates or tracks any difference.
Renishaw 5Axis Calibration – The calibration unit used is a Renishaw model APCA45 and a modified spherical pen. It has a retractable cover that can be removed and an air purge that will remove any dust or debris from the device during activation. It is mounted to a swingarm controlled by a pneumaticrotary. The device swings into calibration for calibration only.
CNC Drill Line will not only drill columns and beams but can also process all types of steel profiles such as channel, angle, flat bars, base plates and RHS square and circular profiles.
Programming the CNC Drill Line is simple, even when done manually. Peddimat is the machine programming program and most operators can learn to program most parts in less that an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. But, the best way is to program the machine directly from a 3D CAD drawing. This should be done in software such as StruMis, ProSteel 3D and SDS/2. These files can be imported directly to the machine. After selecting the part to process, the operator clicks on the Cycle Start Button.
CNC Drill Lines can be used to drill holes in any type of material. CNC Drill Line was built to be universally used and therefore only utilizes components from top manufacturers. Many of these components can be obtained locally. Voortman always has spare parts available for next-day delivery within the USA. We offer support and local service in many of our overseas destinations.
Beam can support strain and pressure, while bars can maintain pressure (intended to take pressure). The Rods/Bars refer to any part that is exposed to the hub (Tensile/Compressive but no Transverse/Torsional load) Loads, as it were.
Consider the same-weight sections and same material beams. This means that all cross sections are equal for axial load purposes.
For Fe415, the minimum steel percentage is 0.205% of the beam's effective area.
How big a beam should span 24 feet? A 4 nailed 2x18, 4-2x18, or 8x18 wood beam will allow you to span 24ft. For a span of 24 feet, you'll need at least 4-2x18 or 8x18 wood beams.
Never drill a hole less than 1' from the floor joist or beam end. Also, avoid drilling within 1 foot of the beam's top on a post or support column. 2. The 1/3/3 rule applies to overhead spans.
