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.

Voortman machines have been the global leaders in structural steel fabrication technology. Voortman machines are a key part of steel fabricators' competitive advantage. They can optimize tonnage and maintain a high level of quality. Advantage-2 CNC beam drilling is the heart of any structural steel fabrication shop. This machine is a core component of a high-speed multi-spindle, relentless caride drilling. Advantage-2 is one of the most profitable lines in the steel industry. This drill line is built from heavy steel and will last for many years. Thanks to the roller feed design of the infeed/outfeed, the Advantage-2 can run profiles from end to end without any stop in production. Every year, hundreds of fabricators around the world run hundreds of thousands and tons of steel through their Advantage-2s.

I truly believe that without the support provided by the staff and personnel at GSS Machinery we would not be performing in the steel fabrication markets that we now enviably find ourselves competing in..”

Voortman has shaped today’s CNC beam drill line standard with time-tested technology. The Advantage-2 processes an average of 150 tons of steel per work week with the most efficient drilling, milling, scribing, tapping and countersinking operations.

The CNC Beam Drill Line was a huge hit with small- to medium-sized fabricators who produce both structural steel and other miscellaneous materials. More than 600 CNC Drill Lines have been installed since 2003. This amazing machine has made a significant impact on the lives of many steel fabricators.

GSS Machinery has provided us with the best support possible in steel fabrication markets, which is something I am proud to say.

Voortman CNC Beam Drill Lines are often part of a Drill Saw Line combination or larger fully integrated production lines. These are also known as Multi System Integration. Read more below!

Auto Stand-Off is currently defined as surface stand-off. It should not be confused with vector standoff in 5-axis mode. Auto stand-off currently works on a changing surface. It adjusts vertically based upon the angle of the Axis. This means that five (5) axes are taken into consideration during calculations. However, this is not the same thing as tool vector standoff. You can change the vector standoff while the machine runs manually by pressing buttons on the screen.

Voortman's inside service technicians don't often need to be present at your machine in order to fix a problem. Voortman technicians can operate your control using an internet connection. Voortman equipment uses the Powerful Windows(r), Siemens control that allows for this capability. It also provides superior diagnostics via Windows(r).

CNC Drill Line can import DXF file and can use them for processing 3-D shapes provided the steel is detailed according specific rules. You might need to adjust some of these rules to match the details you are currently using. This process may not be as seamless as 3-D modeling software.

Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines may be part of a Drill Saw Line combined or larger, fully automated integrated production lines. Also known as Multi System Integration. It's easy to learn more.

Our beam drill line machines feature central lubrication and linear guides. This ensures smooth operation and less maintenance. Each coordinate system has a 4-station tool changer that allows it to drill, mill and scribe as well as counter sink or tap. It can also swap tools mid-operation without any disruption. The positive beam positioning system consists of an arm attached on the feed conveyor to a rack-and-pinion system. This allows the beam to be positioned more precisely as it passes through the drill line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Beams are designed to allow vertical deflections of no more than 1/180 (or 0.55%) of the horizontal beam length measured at the ends of beams.

Manufacturers limit beams to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.

Consider the same-weight sections and same material beams. This means that all cross sections are equal for axial load purposes.

The strength tolerances of the C-beam are lower than those of the I-beam. This results in lighter components. Continue reading if you have never used C-beam profiles.

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.
