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.

The Advantage-2 CNC beam drilling machine is ideal for tandem installations with any Voortman automatic sawing system.

".. This machine is designed for Structural fabricators. But I knew it would work well for drilling trucks frames. The assembly was flawless due to the machine's repeatability and accuracy. Avenger drills one channel for a truck in just two hours. We would have taken 16 hours if it was done manually. The machine has increased our productivity AND profitability !.."

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.

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.

Remote assistance cannot diagnose every problem. Frequently, mechanical issues and questions that require the attention of a human eye are still being addressed. Voortman machines come with high-definition web cameras and software. This allows Voortman employees the opportunity to see the installation in action without leaving the office. This webcam is invaluable in countries where English might not be an option or situations in which it may be difficult to communicate effectively.

The Advantage-2 is powered by 25 HP (18.5kW) Siemens spindle motors. It has 3 drill spindles each with 5-station tool changers. This drilling technology is extremely efficient and allows for maximum operating time and excellent drill hole quality.

Drilling Holes

Each of our beam drill line machines have linear guides, central lubrication, and a tool cooling system to ensure smooth operation and lower maintenance. Within each coordinate system there is a 4 station tool changer, allowing it to drill, mill, scribe, counter sink, or tap as needed; tools can even be swapped out mid-operation easily and without disruption. Positive beam positioning consists of an arm attached to a rack and pinion system on the feed conveyor to more accurately position the beam as it goes through the drill line, maintaining .004”, making our steel beam drill lines much more accurate than friction roller machines.

Voortman’s roller feed measurement system exceeds industry standard. It is important to maintain accurate measurements without hesitation during production. Even though there may be slight deviations in the material, accuracy should not be compromised.

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.

Voortman has developed today's CNC beam standard drill line using tried-and-true technology. Advantage-2 processes 150 ton of steel per workweek with the most efficient drilling/milling, scribing/taping, and countersinking operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Beam can support strain and pressure, while bars can maintain pressure (intended to take pressure). The Rods/Bars refer to any part that is exposed to the hub (Tensile/Compressive but no Transverse/Torsional load) Loads, as it were.

The H beam's cross section is more robust than that of the I beam. This means it can support a heavier load. The cross section of the H beam, on the other hand, can only bear direct load and tensile. However, it cannot resist twisting due to its narrow cross section. It can only bear force in one direction.

Channels, or C-beams, are used when the flat back side of the web is mounted to another flat surface. This allows for maximum contact. Sometimes they are welded back-to-back to create a non-standard I beam.

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.
