Cnc Drill Line Hardware

If a CNC drill machine doesn't allow a fabricator the ability to compete at the highest level in steel fabrication, what good is it? The Advantage-2 is able to process technical programming with intelligence and speed. Each drill axis comes equipped with three five station tool changers. These can be used to drill, mill and countersink as well as tap and scribe. Signoscript underside or Signomat part stamping units can be added to this drill line. You can keep your part information even after you have finished painting, blasting, or galvanizing. Minimizing shop errors? Check. The Advantage-2's carbide tooling allows for more aggressive drilling and more holes per hour than any other drill line. The high torque drilling tools have a more aggressive cut, removing more chips each rotation. This drill line is capable of cutting through beams, channels, angles, tubes, and even flat bars. Advantage-2 can handle any profile with a processing window of 44inches wide by 18inches high.

Voortman’s 24 hour tech support center can resolve 90% of your support issues. An extensive network of 50+ Voortman personnel is stationed across North and South America.

Voortman machines are the world leaders in structural steel fabrication technology. Steel fabricators that own Voortman machines uphold an advantage in the steel industry and have the ability to optimize tonnage capacity. The Advantage-2 CNC beam drill line is the backbone of any structural steel fabrication shop. High-speed, multi-spindle, relentless carbide drilling is the very core of this machine. The design of the Advantage-2 has created one of the most profitable drill lines in the steel industry. A heavy steel frame ensures this drill line will support shops for the long haul. The Advantage-2 can run profiles end to end with no stop in production all thanks to the roller feed design on the infeed and outfeed. Hundreds of fabricators across the globe run hundreds of thousands of tons of steel through their Advantage-2s year after year.

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

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.

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.

Programming of the CNC Drill Line is very simple even when done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat and most operators can learn how to program most parts in less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However the best way to program the machine is to import parts directly from a CAD drawing preferably done in some 3-D modeling software such as Tekla Structures, SDS/2, ProSteel 3D, StruMis etc. These files import directly into the machine and the operator merely selects the part to be processed and hits the Cycle Start button.

Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measurement machine offers different saw measurements. AccuMeasure is flexible in handling and has a simplified CNC solution. Splitting apart a saw and drill allows each machine to work simultaneously, increasing production.
