Beam Coping Machine Assembly
A triple torch or multiple torch CNC beam coping machine typically has three torches. Each torch can be dedicated to a web, flange, or torch. The single torch machine is more versatile than the existing triple torch machines, and can perform a greater number of cuts than the existing triple torch machines. Additionally, the average triple torch machine costs 3-4 times as much as our single torch CNC beam copier.
Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated, highly trained and eager to improve their productivity. Call for pricing and details.
American Wood Council Beam Design FormulasPlasma heads are very popular for cutting steel, due to the high quality and speed of the cuts. However, due to the size of the plasma cutting head it is not possible to get the head close enough to the flange, and many styles of copes typically required in beams are just not possible with plasma heads.
Although we would prefer the machine to remain indoors, many Voortman beam coper installation are outside. However, the machine must be protected from the elements. To see photos from our many outside installations, please feel free to contact me.
Voortman is able to cut steel beams into copes much faster than your layoutman. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Line, and the Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line introduced affordable automation of angles and beams to small-to mid-sized fabricators. The Voortman brings automated beam coping to shops otherwise unimaginable.
Our office hours range from 8am - 5pm Eastern Time. We are very familiar with the machine, and welcome any technical support calls during normal business hours.
Voortman lets you upload a profile for the cope to the CNC software using the built-in shape libraries or CAD. It is easy to calibrate cutting tolerances and nest parts for coping. You can also track the path of robotic cutting before it starts so you can avoid making mistakes. Voortman will then be able to start coping with perfect material by simply loading it and pressing the Start button.
The CNC Beam Coping Machine, which is the world's most affordable beam coper, is the result a strong collaboration with Voortman (the number one manufacturer structural steel fabricating machinery).
All types of steel fabrication machinery are also available for service, including beam-coping machines. To schedule a service, please contact us.
Another drawback is that when cutting thicker areas of a part, even on light wide-flange beams, for instance the radius at the intersection of the web and the flange, it is typical for the flame to blow back, and this can and cause damage to the plasma head.
In the competitive world of steel fabrication, reduction of man hours is the ultimate challenge. Fabricators across the globe utilize this time-tested technology to increase their shop capacity and efficiency.
A CNC beam coping tool is safer than a handheld torch. The machine can also be controlled remotely from the operator. This allows him to stay further away than the flame.
With the ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutting machine, achieve miter or straight cutting on a new level. In record time, place in-line with Voortman’s automatic sawing systems and separate beams.
The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Beam Coping Machine is the most affordable beam coper in the world, and is the result of a strong and productive collaboration with Voortman, the number one manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machinery.
Coping is a process that allows a beam to fit into other parts of a framework.
A coping saw, a type of bow-saw used to cut intricate exterior shapes and interior cuts in woodworking or carpentry, is referred to as a 'combo saw'. It is used for cutting moldings that create mitre or cope joints.
Steel is stronger than wood pound for pound. It's amazing to see how engineered wood beams have evolved over the past 40-years.
To prevent rainwater entering the structure below, copings and caps are used to cover the tops of freestanding walls and parapets made from masonry. You can make them from either profiled metal like lead, aluminium or zinc or special bricks and masonry.
A box beam made from aluminum or acrylics will last longer than an I-Beam. It is stronger and more solid in construction.
