If you’re assembling any sort of steel structure, the chances are you’ll need to bolt parts together. To do that, you’ll need accurately drilled holes – this is why we use Voortman V600 beam drilling machine.
The Voortman V600 beam drilling machine is CNC controlled and has one horizontal drilling unit and is extremely suitable for drilling holes for bolts in structural steel.
The V600 is ‘specially designed for profile drilling, thread tapping, countersinking and centre point marking. It consists of a drilling table and a drilling cabin, which moves horizontally along the table. Synchronous driven servomotors in combination with ball screw spindles provide fast and accurate drilling at all times.’
In order to drill accurate holes in a steel beam, the machine clamps the beam down and the computer automatically chooses the right drill diameter. Then, the drilling head is positioned in the right place and then it drills the hole through the steel beam. It only takes just about 1 second to drill one hole, so it drastically speeds up our production process.
