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.
Cnc Drill Line Highway"..In our efforts to satisfy customer demands and increase productivity, we installed a new beam drilling line. This has resulted in a lower labor cost and faster turnaround times that have always helped us land high quality jobs.
We have installed over a thousand CNC Drill Lines and Angle Lines around the globe and have found that even a novice programmer can be proficient on the machine in less time than half an hour.
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.
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.
GSS Machinery has provided us with the best support possible in steel fabrication markets, which is something I am proud to say.
The Advantage-2 CNC beam drilling machine is ideal for tandem installations with any Voortman automatic sawing system.
CNC Drill Line is a space-saving beam processing solution. It only takes up 70ft x 9.9ft. This makes it great for fabricators with limited space. CNC Drill Lines can also be placed outside, providing even more space for fabricators.
Voortman designs machines to meet the strict requirements of GSS Machinery. GSS Machinery is designed for small to medium fabricators. Voortman is more for larger fabricators. Voortman has been constructing machines for GSS Machinery more than ten years. GSS Machinery ranks as Voortman's biggest customer in the world.
Voortman machines are world leaders in structural metal fabrication technology. Voortman machines give steel fabricators an edge in the industry. They have the ability optimize tonnage capacity. Advantage-2 CNC beam drill lines are the foundation of any structural steel fabrication workshop. This machine's core is high-speed, multi-spindle relentless carbide drilling. Advantage-2 is the most profitable steel industry drill line. The drill line's heavy steel frame will ensure that it can support shops for the long-term. Because of the roller feed design on both the infeed and output, the Advantage-2 can run profile end-to-end without stopping production. Each year, hundreds upon hundreds of metal fabricators use their Advantage-2s to produce steel in excess of tens of thousands of tonnes.
Even if you are programming the CNC Drill Line manually, it is easy to program. Peddimat machine programming software can be used and most operators will learn how to program most of the parts in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. It is best to program the machine by importing parts directly from a 3-D modeling program such as ProSteel 3D, StruMis, Tekla Structures, SDS/2 or StruMis. These files are imported directly into your machine. Once you have selected the part, hit the Cycle Start button.
Metal cannot be cut by conventional drill bits so you will need a hard-working, heavy-duty drill bit. For metalworking tasks, there are two types of drill bits: cobalt and titanium.
This can be avoided by using a well-designed concrete beam or increasing concrete's compression strength by adding steel reinforcement to the compression side or by increasing the beam geometry.
C or Channel Beams. Channel beams are typically used to support lighter loads. They are a popular choice for residential construction and not for heavy construction.
Use a slow speed to drill. The slower a bit spins the more hot it becomes. And heat dulls bits quickly. It is a good idea for drill bits to be used at a slow speed when drilling through metal. Drill bits for hard metals such as steel and larger diameters require slower speeds.
It is considered a girder if it is the main structural support made up of smaller beams. The Code does not specify the dimensions that will distinguish a beam and girder.
