Voortman service technicians do not often have to be present on your machine to address any issues you may have. Voortman technicians will be able operate your control with an internet connection. Voortman equipment features a Powerful Windowsr-based Siemens control. This allows for superior diagnostics and allows for increased productivity.

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.

"..We have drilled approximately 25,000 hole since we purchased our CNC Drill Line just four months ago. It used take us about 5 minutes each to drill and lay out each hole. It now takes us around. 30 seconds per hole... an 1875 man hour savings in four months. That is $84,375 at our shop. As you can see, this machine will be fully paid off in less then one year. It is not only faster than our production, but it also allows us to free up floor space for other jobs.

The CNC Drill Line works very well and Avenger operators were often the ones doing the layout. It is not necessary to have any computer knowledge. Full training is given at the time the installation is completed.

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.

The ability to mill copes speeds up project completion times tremendously. Coupled with the Advantage-2 user-friendly Raptor 3D CAD/CAM software enables the operator to program parts quickly. Inspect, modify and export part information directly within the 3D platform. The biggest advantages of the Advantage-2 drill has been probably the scribing and the ability to mill slots, large lifting holes. I mean this really kind of sets this machine apart. With the scribing we're able to put piece marks and layout lines, center points. I mean having that flexibility to use it when we want to and make that decision has been really great.

"..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.

Renishaw Calibration 5-Axis - The calibration unit for the Renishaw model APCA45 is equipped with a modified spherical pencil. The activation process is completed with a retractable covering and an air purge. It attaches on a swing arm controlled via a pneumatic Rotary.

Beam Drill Lines

Voortman has developed today's CNC beam standard drill line using tried-and-true technology. Advantage-2 processes 150 ton of steel per workweek with the most efficient drilling/milling, scribing/taping, and countersinking operations.

Let's take a look at how Insert Drill bits and Twist Drill Bits work in real-life fabrication situations. This is the most popular drilled hole diameter.

Structural Steel Beam

A 4-axis layout attachment eliminates human error from manual layout methods. The part information can still be used after blasting, painting, or galvanizing.

In medium- to large-sized structural fabrication shops, beam drill lines are an important tool. Beam drills can drill holes in many steel profiles and at different lengths using CNC-controlled programming. These machines can be used to cut holes in a variety of steel profiles without the need for manual layout or chalking. This tedious process can take several weeks and require multiple workers to complete. The beam drill line eliminates the need for manual layout and all associated errors.

Not only will the CNC Drill Line process beams and columns, but it also easily processes all steel profiles including channel, angle, flat bar, base plates, RHS, square, and round profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Channels, or C-beams, are used when the flat back side of the web is mounted to another flat surface. This allows for maximum contact. Sometimes they are welded back-to-back to create a non-standard I beam.

Alloyed high-speed steel (HSS) is used to make drills. This tool steel can reach temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius, which is possible when cutting e.g. steel and metals. You can use high-speed steel with a higher amount of cobalt (5% or more) as the material hardens.

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.

A 10mm diameter bar can be used to reinforce a beam's longitudinally, but this all depends on the beam's size, span, and the load placed over it. The designer determines the steel cross-section area required when designing.

RSA was kicked out of the key exchange process and will no longer be used to generate the key for the HTTPs tunnel. Why? It's too slow and doesn't support forward secrety. (And where a long-term breach of the core key cracks all keys derived from them).
