Voortman

Introduction

Drilling system V613 The V613 is a flexible beam drilling system with one rotating drilling unit, which makes it suitable to approach the beam on three sides. This results in a unique system designed for the medium and even big size fabricators. Needless to say the V613 drilling machine meets the highest Voortman automation standards.

M or T? For measuring the material, the machine can be equipped with feeder rolls (M) or with a feeder truck (T).

Advantages

Price effective

This machine gives you value for money since it has one rotating drilling head. Combined with the 2 x 5 position tool changer our clients are ensured of the high Voortman automation level.

Combining with other systems for increased production capacity

All drilling systems can be combined with a horizontal band sawing machine from the VB-range and a hydraulic numbering machine. For an increased production capacity the sawing system and drilling system can be split into separate connected lines. After sawing, the profiles will be transported with cross transports into the drilling system automatically. For further automation of the pre-fabrication process a Voortman shot blaster can be added to the production line. Therefore one operator can centrally control all these machines for drilling, sawing and shot blasting.

Measuring

The V613 drilling system is available with two measuring systems. The V613 is executed with a machine integrated feeder roll positioning system. The V613T is executed with a feeder truck with a hydraulic gripper. The Voortman gripper can clamp various types of profiles without manual setting. By adding an automatic unloading system for short products and off cuts a combined drilling and sawing system can produce automatically for longer periods.

Advantages for measuring by feeder rolls

High speed production
More flexibility in lay-out configuration
Less floor space
“Unlimited” beam length
Configuration length may be shorter than standard used beam length

Advantages for measuring by feeder truck

High efficiency with short length products
Optional short piece discharge system
Length measuring of incoming profiles

High production capacity by automatically material handling systems.

For high production capacity the sawing and drilling system can be split into two lines connected by fully automatic cross transports. This enables sawing and drilling at the same time still operated by only one operator and results in an extreme high output.

Interconnect all your machines with VACAM control software

The software program “VACAM-Machine Edition” is installed on the control system. The control system can be integrated in the company’s network, so that DSTV- and DSTV+-data can be directly downloaded, from system files within the company database, to the drilling system.

Options

By combining the V613M or V613T with other systems, the prefabrication of steel profiles can be completely automated. This drilling system for steel profiles can be provided with several options.

Hydraulic numbering machine VN36

Automatically marking
36 characters placed on the circumference of a numbering disk
Rotation and numbering automatically controlled by control system
Code printing at the outside of the profile

Cross transports

Infeed and outfeed cross transports
Executed with detectors enabling automatic transport of beams
Produce products without operator for lengthy periods

Automatic outfeed system for short products (in combination with feeder truck)

Short products and remnant pieces are automatically discharged
4 pneumatically operated vertical clamps
Designed for fully automatic combined drilling and sawing system
Driven by a frequency controlled motor

Drill sharpening unit

Drill sharpening unit This drill sharpener is suitable for sharpening of HSS twist drills from 2 up 40mm. The drill sharpener comes with a precision 6-jaws chuck, Morse cones and several grinding wheels.

Horizontal (mitre) cutting band saw machine

By adding a mitre cutting band sawing machine to the processing line, the system becomes very flexible. In the delivery program of Voortman are four types of sawing machines; these machines can also be delivered individually.

Shot Blaster

For further automation of the pre-fabrication a Voortman shot blaster can be added to the production line. The shot blasters can also be delivered as a stand-alone system.

Software

In VACAM, production data can be in- and exported in the format of DStV(+).

Besides the comfort of a Windows based environment VACAM has the advantage that authorized persons at all times can retrieve real-time information about the production progress. This can be done through an on-screen in-motion presentation of the system.

For a more detailed report the Production Data Exporter module can be used. This module allows real-time fabrication information sharing. In any case all operations and motions performed on the system are stored for sharing with any ERP, MRP, MIS and BIM software systems.
