4 Spindle Drill Press
The programming of the CNC Drill Line can be done even manually. Peddimat is the machine programming software and most operators can program most parts within less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best way to program the machine, however, is to import parts from a CAD drawing, preferably created in 3-D modeling software like ProSteel 3D or StruMis. These files can be imported directly into the machine. The operator simply selects the part and presses the Cycle Start button.
Automatic Edge Finder – The edge finder can be used manually (Jogging method & Screen Buttons), programmatically, or fully automated (dedicated programme). This option adjusts offsets and program rotation to match orientation and location on the cutting board.
Voortman will install and calibrate your machine once he is done. Then, he will meet with your operators and take them through the simple but comprehensive training program. They will be trained in:
Advantage-2 carbide drill line uses automatic tool changing technology, completely electronic ball screw-feed spindle motion, and fully electronic ball screws feed spindle. These combined with Voortman’s outstanding build quality and design make the Advantage-2 carbide drill line an ideal combination of strength and agility.
These drop-in stainless grippers allow you to secure base plates or flat bars, angle, or other profiles that might have rounded edges and want to push away the datum line.
Voortman technicians will complete the installation and calibration of your machine. After that, he'll spend time with operators and guide them through our comprehensive training program. Training will be given to your operators in:
Beam drill lines are important tools in medium to large-sized structural fabrication shops. Beam drill lines accurately drill holes in a variety of steel profiles at different lengths with CNC controlled programming. These machines eliminate the need to manually chalk or layout the positions and produce the hole by hand with a mag drill, punch, or plasma. This cumbersome process can take weeks and multiple employees to do the job. A beam drill line eliminates manual layout and the associated errors.
GSS Machinery is often asked by customers which drill bits they should use: insert bits or twist drill bits. We want to make sure that our customers get the lowest possible cost per hole. This will allow them to be more competitive and profit. It is vital that customers fully understand the Insert Drill Bit (Spade Drill Bit) advantages.
The Franklin HD145 (3) spindle-cNC drill is 44 inches wide. The HD-145 can lift beams of up to 750 lbs per feet. The high-performance spindle design allows drilling speeds of up to 2000 RPM. The rigid design of the spindle allows for very aggressive feed rates, up to 300 ft per minute. There are many material handling options available for the Franklin HD145, from 300 lbs to 750 pounds per foot.
We at GSS Machinery are often asked by our customers what drill bits should they use – twist drill bits or insert bits? Our number one agenda is to ensure that our customers pursue the lowest cost per hole drilled, as this will make them more competitive and profitable. However it is important that they fully understand their options, Insert Drill Bit (Spade Drill Bit ) Advantages
Since 1950, we have been designing machines and solutions to help you as a steel fabricator. Automation is our response to ever-decreasing labor availability and rising labor cost. We can help you lower production costs and improve your margins. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill line can guarantee the highest productivity, accuracy, reliability and quality. Our CNC Beam Drill Lines include many functions, including drilling, milling and marking as well as countersinking, thread tapping, and other functions to optimize productivity and increase automation. Voortman has a wide range of Beam Drill Lines to suit every production and company.
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 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.
CNC Drill Line not only processes beams and columns but can also easily process all steel profile including channel, flat, flat, base plates RHS, square and round.
Direct push technology is often called DPT. It uses the static weight combined with a hydraulic wrench to advance instrumentation or tooling through the subsurface. The drill cuttings cannot be removed from the hole unlike rotary.
CNC drilling is a process where a rotating cutter cuts holes in a stationary piece of workpiece. These holes are usually made to accept machine screws or bolts. They can also be used to enhance the aesthetics of the component.
Codes do not specify beam dimensions. These requirements are related to reinforced concrete beams' width-depth ratio. As a general rule, it is best to use depths that are two-and-a-half to three times the beam width. It is more economical to use narrower sections for long-span beams.
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.
Wood beam size for 25-foot span: As a general rule, the size of a wood beam or lumber joint should be 2x16. This is 16' from the centre of any residential building, projects, or construction. The beam's depth is 400mm (16'), and beam width is either 50 mm or 2.
