Cnc Drill Line G Code

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

Voortman is the man behind today's CNC beam drilling line standard. He has used time-tested technology. Advantage-2 processes 150 tonnes of steel per week on average. It is the most efficient way to drill, mill, tap, and countersink.

Although 90% of support issues can be resolved by Voortman’ 24 Hour Tech Support center, an expansive network of 50+ Voortman field service personnel are stationed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand.

Continuous production? Check. Check. A triple axis drill and milling allows for the processing of a complete profile in record-breaking time. This strength is powered by 25 horsepower Siemens spindlemotors. Each drilling axis uses ball screw feed positioning. This drill line is equipped with an advanced clamping system that reduces vibrations by utilizing all the power. Extreme accuracy? Check.

The attachment for 4-axis layout marking eliminates human error in manual layout. Even after galvanizing, blasting, and painting, part information can be retained.

Renishaw 5Axis Calibration – The calibration unit used is a Renishaw model APCA45 and a modified spherical pen. It has a retractable cover that can be removed and an air purge that will remove any dust or debris from the device during activation. It is mounted to a swingarm controlled by a pneumaticrotary. The device swings into calibration for calibration only.

CNC Drill Line is an efficient beam processing solution that requires very little floor space. It can be used for up to 70ftx9ft. CNC Drill Line installations can also be found outside, which gives the fabricator more space.

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.

Material

Yes. Outside, we have many CNC Drill Lines. It is important to provide weather protection for both the control panel, and the moving mobile platform. To view photos from many of the outside installations we have, please feel free to contact our office.

You may choose between a Vertical Machine Center and a CNC router when choosing the CNC machine you want. Both of these pieces can be used for many purposes. Which one should you use?

The Advantage-2 CNC beam is a powerful tool for material handling and precision measurement. This machine can be used in tandem with any Voortman’s automatic sawing systems.

“..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..”

What good is a CNC drill line if it doesn't position a fabricator to compete at a high level in the steel fabrication arena. The Advantage-2 has the functionality to process technical programs with intelligence and speed. Equipped with three five-station tool changers, each drilling axis has the capability to drill, mill, countersink, tap and scribe. This drill line can also be equipped with a Signoscript underside scriber or Signomat part stamping unit. Part information is retained even after painting, blasting and galvanizing processes. Minimizing shop errors? Check. Carbide tooling gives the Advantage-2 more aggressive drilling and a higher quantity of holes than any drill line before it. The high torque drilling axes have a thicker more aggressive cut removing more chips with each rotation. This drill line will chew through beams, channel, angle, tube and even flat bar. With a processing window of 44 inches wide and 18 inches tall no profile can escape the reach of the Advantage-2.

Auto Stand-Off is currently defined as surface stand-off. It should not be confused with vector standoff in 5-axis mode. Auto stand-off currently works on a changing surface. It adjusts vertically based upon the angle of the Axis. This means that five (5) axes are taken into consideration during calculations. However, this is not the same thing as tool vector standoff. You can change the vector standoff while the machine runs manually by pressing buttons on the screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Theoretically, a beam could be any length provided it was properly designed. The issue is one of practicality. Although it's theoretically possible to have an RC beam 16m long, it is very difficult to have a reinforcement bars that are longer than 12m.

IS-456 (2000) Clause 29 states that a supported beam can be classified as deep if the ratio of its effective span to its overall depth D is less then 2. Continuous beams are classified as deep if the ratio L/D falls below 2.5. The centre-t is the measure of effective span.

For small buildings, the distance between two reinforced columns is between 3-4m and 6-9m. Larger facilities that require large columns and lots of free space will have to be at least 6-9m. A distance of 5m is acceptable for ordinary structures. The maximum span is 7.5, while the minimum is 2.5m.

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.

I beams are mainly made from steel and provide structural integrity with unwavering strength and support. I beam strength is more impressive in the transverse direction, and it can also withstand torsion. Steel can withstand heavy loads.
