Q Drill
Voortman's beam drill line design is intelligent not only because of its capabilities, but also because it can be easily plugged into any environment due to its modularity. Tandem solutions that include band saws, robotic coppers, and PeddiWriters expand the shop’s throughput positioning. This allows for a more economical approach to the steel industry when it cools down and a more aggressive approach as the industry heats up. Voortman created the Multmaster to make it possible for even the smallest parts to be turned into a tandem bandsaw. Fabricators will make more money by using the entire profile and minimising the remnant. Increase your output Check. Material handling is essential for any Voortman CNC drill lines to make a profit. Fabricators can lose money each time a profile has to be manually moved. However, material handling is safer than using fork trucks or cranes for the most heavy profiles.
Peddimat's interface is simple and intuitive. You can learn it in under an hour even if your computer skills are not the best.
GSS Machinery's magnetic brush (and broom) help remove chips from the machine as well as sweep up chips from floor.
Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated and well-trained. Call for pricing and details.
The CNC Drill Line operates very easily, and the majority of Avenger operator were the ones doing floor layouts. The installation requires no prior computer knowledge. All training is provided during the process.
There are two options when it comes to CNC machinery. One is a Vertical Machining center and one is a CNC router. You can use both pieces of equipment for different reasons. Which one should I choose?
We have successfully installed over 1000 CNC Drill Lines and Angle Lines all around the world. It has been our experience that an average operator who has never programmed a machine before can get up to 50% efficiency on it in less than half a day.
MultMaster acts as an extension for the Roller Feed measurement device to perform cuts that otherwise would require manual positioning. This accessory allows for fast material processing using a Voortman drilling and saw tandem system.
Voortman builds machines specifically for GSS Machinery to meet our demanding specifications. GSS Machinery specifically targets the small to medium fabricator whereas Voortman targets the larger fabricators. Voortman has been building machines for GSS Machinery for more than 10 years, and GSS Machinery is Voortman largest customer worldwide.
GSS Machinery gets asked often by our customers which drill bits to use. Should they use twist drill bits, or insert bits. As this will help our customers be more competitive and more profitable, it is our number one goal to reduce the cost per hole. But it is crucial that they understand all of their options. Insert Drill Bit (Spade Drill Bit). Advantages
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.
The CNC Drill Line can lay out and drill all of your holes in any type of steel profile in fractions of the time that it takes to do manually with a mag drill. It also marks all your welded attachments, eliminating the need to use a tape measure.
Project completion times are greatly reduced when you can mill. Combining Advantage-2's user-friendly Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software, the operator can quickly program parts. You can view, modify, export and export parts information right from the 3D platform. Advantage-2 drills have many advantages, including the ability to scribe and mill slots and large lifting holes. This really sets the machine apart. We can use the scribing to create piece marks, layout lines and center points. That flexibility to use it when and how we choose has been amazing.
Let's look at Twist Drill Bits versus Insert Drill Bits in a real-world fabrication situation. Let's just focus on one example: 13/16" (22mm), which is the most common drilled hole diameter.
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.
Because of their small cross-section area (known by the web), I beams require minimal material. However, they can still achieve the desired shape and function to carry out their load bearing duties. This design allows the I beam to bend under stress, rather than buckling.
How big a beam should span 24 feet? A 4 nailed 2x18, 4-2x18, or 8x18 wood beam will allow you to span 24ft. For a span of 24 feet, you'll need at least 4-2x18 or 8x18 wood beams.
Drill blowout can be prevented by attaching a scrap of wood to the backside the piece that you are drilling on. When you drill the whole, wood that would have otherwise "blown out", hits the scrap wood instead and stays in place.
According to the International Residential Building Code (IRC), 2021, a common 6x6 softwood beam span is 3'-5" to 7'-6". The wood's strength and other variables affect how long the span. While hardwood of similar dimensions will span more than steel, the cost difference can be substantial.
