Voortman

The V630 drilling system is available with two measuring systems. The V630M is executed with a machine integrated feeder roll positioning system. The V630T 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

All the axes of the drilling machine are driven by high accuracy ball screws and servo motors, so very fast positioning speeds are achieved .

Apart from drilling with HSS and carbide, this system is also suitable for automatic thread tapping, centre point marking, counter sinking, deburring and scribing.

Due to the servo-controlled motor on the drilling head, it is also possible to use carbide drills, which can drill up to 4 times faster then regular HSS. Also with carbide drills there is no need for sharpening, simply replace the carbide tip.

Instead of calculating the drill length by slowly pressing the tip of the drill against the material, the length of the drill is measured by laser before approaching the material. This enables a very fast approach of the drill to the material, and is only carried out when using a new drill for the first time.

Each drilling unit is equipped as standard with an automatic tool changer fitted with a booster system for extra fast changing, the tool changer enables the system to work independently for long periods.

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. With this VACAM software it is possible to carry out different processes simultaneously, so each drill head on this machine can drill, change tools or measure the length of the tool independently.

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.

• 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

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

• 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

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.

By adding a mitre cutting bandsawing 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.

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.
