Cnc Drill Line Cut-off Program

The CNC Drill Line is the most affordable CNC beam drill line on the market today and ensures that the fabricators is the low-cost producer, allowing him to win more work and to make more margin.

Z-Reader Probe – The Z-Reader is a device for mapping the location of the surface. It can be controlled manually & programmatically. The option is NOT active while cutting & is retracted out of harm’s way. It can be triggered to verify the surface at every pierce before the cutting process starts, or it could be used to drive surface mapping of the whole part before cutting starts. It begins with initialization or zeroing of the device to the surface at the beginning of a program and then accumulates or tracks the difference from that zeroing effort.

Voortman's Roller Feed Measurement System exceeds industry standards for roller measurement technology. It is essential to ensure that accurate measurements are taken without any delay in production. Even if there are slight variations in the material, accuracy is maintained.

CNC Drill Line will not only drill columns and beams but can also process all types of steel profiles such as channel, angle, flat bars, base plates and RHS square and circular profiles.

GSS Machinery's support has been invaluable in enabling us to excel in the steel fabrication market that we currently find ourselves in.

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.

Voortman’ Roller Feed Measurement system exceeds the industry standard for roller measurement technology. Maintaining accurate measurements without any hesitation in production is crucial. Accuracy is not compromised even despite deviations in material.

The Advantage-2 CNC beam drill line with its powerful material handling support, meticulous measurement capabilities and high speed designs are ideal for tandem installations with any of Voortman' automatic sawing systems.

A CNC drill line is useless if it does not position a fabricator for success in the steel fabrication industry. The Advantage-2 can process technical programs quickly and with intelligence. Each drilling axis is equipped with three five-station tool changers. They can drill, mill countersink tap, tap, and scribe. You can also equip this drill line with a Signoscript underside Scriber or Signomat Part Stamping Unit. Even after blasting, painting, and galvanizing, part information can be retained. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Check. High torque drilling axes feature a thicker, more aggressive cut that removes more chips with every rotation. This drill line can chew through beams and tube, channel, angle, tube, and flat bars. Advantage-2 has a processing window that measures 44 inches in width and 18 inches high.

Z-Reader Probe- The Z-Reader probe is used to map the surface. You can control it manually or programmatically. It is not active during cutting and can be retracted to keep it out of harm's path. You can trigger it to check the surface at each pierce before cutting begins. Or, you could use it to drive the surface mapping of the entire part. It starts with the initialization of the device to the surface at program start. The difference is then accumulated or tracked.

Material handling helps tie multiple CNC machines together and keep material flowing through a shop allowing fabricators to continually grow as their business expands. The Advantage-2 high-speed drill line alone processes up to 150 tons of steel on average per 40-hour workweek. The ideal drill line for small to large fabricators the world over. Full stop. The success of the steel industry is Voortman' top priority. That is why our service and support is unmatched.

“..Since purchasing our CNC Drill Line about four months ago, we have drilled approximately 25,000 holes. It used to take us approximately 5 minutes to lay out and drill each hole. Now it takes us approx. 30 seconds per hole … a savings of 1875 man hours in 4 months. In our shop that equals about $84,375! As you can see this machine will pay for itself in less than one year. Not only is it speeding up our production, it is freeing up floor space for additional jobs..”

Fabricators

Voortman-designed beam drilling lines have intelligence not only in their own capabilities but also in the fact that they can be plugged into any environment because of their modularity. Tandem solutions, such as band saws with robotic coppers or PeddiWriters, expand the shop’s throughput positioning. It allows for a more cost-effective approach when the steel sector cools down and a more aggressive one when it heats. Voortman invented the Multmaster, which can be used to advance small parts into a tandem-bandsaw. Fabricators are more profitable when they use the whole profile and minimize the remnant. Do you want more output? Check. Material handling is key to any Voortman CNC drill-line profit. Fabricators not only lose money when a profile is manually moved but material handling is far safer than using fork trucks and cranes to move the largest profiles.

Based on the current pricing of the different suppliers, we believe the customer is better off getting good quality Ocean Penetrator twist drilling bits and a sharpener.

Frequently Asked Questions

Beams are designed to allow vertical deflections of no more than 1/180 (or 0.55%) of the horizontal beam length measured at the ends of beams.

A cobalt-blend drill bit is the best for drilling hardened metals or steel. This alloy includes 5% to 8% cobalt. The cobalt is a part of the steel mixture, so it doesn't wear away with a coating (like titanium bits).

When drilling hard metals, you will need a stronger bit. You can use the same standard high-speed steel bit you would use for wood if you are drilling a soft metal such as aluminum. Use a cobalt or titanium bit to drill steel or other hard metals.

Tube may be stronger or lighter depending on how thick the C.

1- T beams have a greater second moment inertia than ordinary beams. This means they are more resistant to bending.
