CNC Beam Drill Line Birmingham Alabama

Voortman’s CNC Beam Drill Lines often come in combination with a Drill Saw Line or larger fully automated integrated production line, commonly referred to as Multi System Integration. You can find out more information about it here!

It doesn't matter if a CNC drill isn't able to position a steel fabricator to be competitive in the steel fabrication market. The Advantage-2's ability to process technical files with intelligence, speed and precision is what makes it so special. Each drilling axis can operate with three five-station tools changers. Signoscript's underside scriber and Signomat's part stamping unit can be attached to this drill axis. Part information is preserved even after galvanizing, blasting, and painting. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Advantage-2 uses carbide tooling to drill more holes and is more aggressive than any other drill. High torque drilling instruments have a thicker and more aggressive cut which removes more chips from each rotation. This drill can remove beams, channel and angle tubes as well as flat bars. Advantage-2's processing window is 44 inches wide by 18 inches high.

It may be between a Vertical Machining Centre or a CNC Router when deciding on the CNC machinery that you want to buy. These two pieces of equipment can be used for different purposes. Which one should you choose?

The CNC Drill Line not only lays out and drills all your holes in any steel profile in a fraction of the time it takes you to do it manually with a mag drill, but it also lays out the marks for all your welded attachments, virtually eliminating the need for a tape measure.

Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Lines can be included in a Drill Saw Line, or in larger fully-automated integrated production lines. This is also known as Multi System Integration. Learn more!

Continuous production? Check. It is more than just being able to manage processes. Fabricators must also be able to meet industry standards for quality and time management. Triple axis drilling allows for fast processing. The Siemens spindle motors are 25 horsepower and have industry-leading penetration times. Each axis is equipped with ball screw feed positioning. The drill line features an advanced clamping system to minimize vibrations due to its high power. Extreme accuracy Check.

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.

“.. Although this machine is marketed for the Structural fabricators, I knew immediately it would work well for drilling truck frames. The accuracy & repeatability have ensured the assembly without error. The Avenger drills a set of channels for one truck in less than one 2 hours; when we did this manually, it would take 16 hours. This machine has increased our productivity & profitability hands down!..”

Cnc Beam Drill Line Quiz

GSS Machinery receives a lot of questions from customers asking us which drill bits we should use. Are they insert bits or twist bits? We are committed to ensuring that our customers have the lowest cost per hole, which will make them more profitable and competitive. But, it is essential that they fully comprehend their options. Insert Drill Bit/Spade Drill Bit Advantages

Voortman AccuMeasure Roller Feed measurement equipment offers saw measurement options. AccuMeasure provides complete handling versatility while offering a simple, streamlined CNC solution. This allows for both a drill and saw to be disassembled, which maximizes production.

Let's see how Twist Drill Bits are compared to Insert Drill Bits in real life. One example will be shown - 13/16 inch (22mm), the most frequently drilled hole size.

Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has a Drill Line or Beam Drill Line that will suit every fabricator. We also have Beam drills for those who have limited work space.

Frequently Asked Questions

To resist and redistribute load, beams should bend. The girders on the other side are more rigid as they support the beams and provide horizontal support to the structure. The girder is designed to support large, all-encompassing loads like beam responses or structural pillars.

These nodes can connect a beam to a column or a wall. A beam that supports multiple beams is called the main beam. Some of its nodes can be non-supporting. These can be, for example, the nodes on which secondary beams rest.

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.

Alloyed high-speed steel (HSS) is used to make drills. This tool steel can reach temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius, which is possible when cutting e.g. steel and metals. You can use high-speed steel with a higher amount of cobalt (5% or more) as the material hardens.

Manufacturers limit beams to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.
