Importing files directly to your steel detailing program is preferable. It eliminates unnecessary steps and can also prevent any incorrect data capture. Two distinct groups exist in this respect.
FANUC's robotic arm can be angled 360 degrees. This allows it to quickly and easily cut any shape or profile required for coping beams. This versatility is coupled with the superior power and flexibility of Hypertherm-X-Definition Plasma.
Because you might get a request from a customer for a couple of pieces, you will need to train your operator in Peddimat.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine operators should be able to use oxy-fuel. Although we can quickly train most operators on the software side, gas cutting skills and experience are best acquired over many years of hand-cutting.
Programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine, even for people with no previous computer or CNC experience, is simple and intuitive.
We also provide service for all structural steel fabrication machinery. Contact us to schedule a service date today.
Your detailer then will provide you with a DWG / LTP / PDF file that can be used to print or plot your drawings. He will also provide the NC1 and NC2 files that you can directly import into your machine. Voortman comes standard with the DSTV - Import function.
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam coping machines have a triple torch design that allows you to simultaneously cut two flanges. Flange thins can simultaneously be performed on top and bottom of flanges. However, weld preparation is done concurrently which reduces operating costs. The ABCM-1250 Ox-fuel Coper is a quick and easy way to cut near the flanges without having to torch probe.
This CNC beam copier with single torch removes the need to manually place your copes.
The Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine programming is easy and intuitive, even for those with little or no computer experience.
Three torches are usually used for multiple torch or triple torch CNC beam-coping machines. Each torch is dedicated to a specific flange or web. The 3-tower machine has a shorter positioning time than the single torch one, but the single torch machine can still do more cuts than existing triple torch machines because of the 5-axis movement in the cutting head. Additionally, triple torch machines tend to be 3-4x more expensive than single torch CNC beam cutter coping machines.
A 5-axis single torch CNC beam-coping machine is a machine that uses only one torch for all coping. One torch can be used to cope a beam. The torch will cut the web, then move on the flanges. It moves from one end of the web to the other in a sequential fashion. The 5-axis torch can move in an almost unlimited number of directions and places, making it possible for even the most difficult of jobs. The 5-axis torch allows for double miter/bevel cut on both flanges and web, something that multi-torch units are unable to do.
Voortman can perform almost all types of structural steel fabrication from shaping beams to plate, to coping reliefs or custom profiles. The state-of-the art CNC beam coping machine is capable of replacing the drill lines, bandsaws, punches, band saws, layout and marking stations and layout and marking station in your shop. This frees up valuable space and allows you to keep a lean workforce. Voortman only requires one technician to operate. Voortman offers many advantages, including better quality, faster turnarounds, reduced waste, and lower costs.
"..the Liberator helps us save time cutting the beam. We also get to save time fitting the 2 pieces together. It does this so well that there is no need for additional trimming. We can no longer fill gaps when we weld. We save time on both the fitting of the structure and the welding. The Liberator saves me time, and I'm not even referring to the grey hairs.
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.
