We have been creating machines and solutions for steel fabricators for 50 years. As a result of the decreasing ability to find qualified labor and rising labor costs we focus on automation. This will allow you to lower your production costs and increase margins. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines will ensure that you have the highest level of productivity, accuracy, and reliability. Our CNC Beam Drill Lines combine many functions such as drilling, marking, countersinking and thread-tapping to maximize productivity and automate your workflow. Voortman offers a complete line of Beam Drill Lines that can be used for any type of production.
Voortman has designed the CNC Drill Line exclusively for GSS Machinery. Voortman is responsible for the installation, warranty, and service of the CNC Drill Line. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the CNC Drill Line. However, GSS Machinery is always available to assist if necessary.
Beam drills can be a valuable tool in large and medium-sized structural fabrication shops. Beam drills are able to drill holes in a wide range of steel profiles, at different lengths, using CNC controlled programming. These machines make it possible to eliminate the need for manually drawing or laying out the positions. This lengthy process can take up to a week and requires multiple workers. A beam drill line eliminates manual planning and any associated errors.
GSS Machinery is frequently asked by our customers which drill bit they should use. Insert bits or twist drills? Our top priority is to help customers drill the most holes for their money. This will increase their competitiveness and profitability. But they must fully understand their options. Insert Drill Bit Advantages
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.
“..In an effort to meet customer demands and increase production, we have installed a new beam drill line the resulting reduced labor cost and quicker turnaround times have consistently helped usin landing quality jobs.
Not every problem can be diagnosed with remote assistance. Mechanical issues or questions that require the human eye are still common. Voortman machines are shipped with high definition web cameras and software; allowing Voortman employees to directly experience the activity at the installation without the need to leave the office. The webcam has significant value in foreign countries or in situations where language might be a barrier to effectively communicate the issue.
With its strong material handling support and precise measurement capabilities, the Advantage-2 CNC beam drill is perfect for tandem installations with any Voortman automated sawing system.
FlexBeam is a new machine tool designed for the fast, precise, and economical production of steel profiles. This machine is an efficient solution for beam processing in small- to medium-sized shops that are looking to take on larger projects.
Z-Reader Probe-The Z-Reader Probe is a device that maps the location of the surface. It can be programmed or manually controlled. It can be disabled while cutting, and it can be pulled out of harm's reach. It can be activated to verify the surface at each pierce prior to cutting, or to drive surface mapping for the entire part before cutting begins. It is used to initialize or zero the device to the desired surface and then tracks or accumulates the difference between that zeroing effort.
When the Voortman service technician has finished installing and calibrating your machine he will spend time with your operators taking them through our simple yet thorough training program. Your operators will receive training in:
It is obviously preferable to import files directly from your steel detailing software because it eliminates an unnecessary step and also eliminates possible incorrect data capture. There are two separate and distinct camps in this respect:
Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines are often included in a combined Drill Saw Line or even in larger fully automated integrated production lines, also referred to as Multi System Integration. Find out more about it below!
Let’s compare Twist Drill Bits and Insert Drill bits in the real life fabrication situation. We will just look at one example – 13/16? (22mm), which is typically the most commonly drilled hole diameter.
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.
