Beam Coping Machine Bending

Multi-torch or triple torch CNC beam copier machines usually have three torches. Each torch is dedicated for a web or flange. The triple torch machine takes less time to position than the single torch machine. However, the single torch can make a lot more cuts due to the 5-axis movement and versatility of its cutting head. A majority of triple torch machines are 3-4 times more expensive than our single torch CNC beam-coping machine.

This machine is available immediately for delivery and is stored in storage. For an additional charge, a factory-trained technician is available for installation and operator training.

Is it hard to use a coping saw

Voortman can improve your beam handling capabilities and help your business reach new heights.

Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. offers the assurance of robotic profiling and coping that are unsurpassed in the industry. Our high definition plasma technology system, capable of cutting through a wide array of metal profiles for structural steel and other metal pieces, is backed by our company.

The basic unit is semi-automatic, with oxy-fuel coping machines. The operator positions and finetunes the workpiece before it is cut. The laser can also be set up automatically to auto-probe and adjust the torch height. The basic unit has powered conveyors. Before cutting, the operator must manually measure and mark X on the feedstock. The optional laser measuring of the feedstock can also be used as an automated measurement system. The interface allows the operator input the material type to which they want to cut. The operator navigates through a variety of options by using the touch screen to see pictorial representations. The computer program includes all dimensions of structural steel AISC. A fully dimensioned deal drawing is displayed to simplify programming, save time and reduce operator input errors. The operator has the ability to modify or override the input. It can also be saved as an additional program, if needed. DSTV exported drawings can also be used to pre-programme your machine. An operator can use the wireless remote control to operate, start, stop and manage the equipment. The wireless remote control allows the operator to easily view the equipment from any angle that is needed to verify and maintain accuracy. Operator marks the material, moves the material in the right position and clamps it hydraulically to ensure that the material is cut correctly. The laser operator aligns the laser to the mark, then begins the process. The torch lightens and pre-heats the material. The operator initiates and finishes the cutting process, as long as he maintains the correct torch height.

Voortman uses an extended torch nozzle to reach inside Flanges. These are available in a variety of sizes, depending on how thick the material is to be cut. The torch tips can also be gas-specific so please specify the type of gas you use: Acetylene or Natural Gas, MAPP or Propane, etc.

Software included in this group includes X-Steel. SDS/2. Tekla Structures. StruCAD. DetailCAD. SteelCAD. ProSteel 3-D. All three-dimensional modeling programs export the DSTV format that can be easily imported into Voortman.

The best part is that many large fabricators have upgraded to a Voortman from a 3-torch. You will be amazed at the results!

This plasma drilling machine can be used to perform as many functions as possible. The PCR41 can produce fully finished parts at low manufacturing costs. This machine automates all traditional cutting operations as well structural steel.

Voortman Technical Support Offices are available 24 hours a week and are always willing to help you with any question, no matter how simple, or complex.

Beam Coping Machine Knotting

The Voortman CNC Beam Coper was designed for fabricators and general jobs shops that have to deal with or notch all types of steel profiles. These questions will help you determine if the machine is right for you.

The PCR42 robotic plasma cutter does beam coping and notches, holes, and weld preps. It also splits beams and scribes as well as marks on all four sides of H-beams channels angles, HSS, plates, and H-beams.

Weld

Voortman can make the steel beams’ copes cut faster than your layoutman. Voortman CNC Angle Line and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line both brought automation of beams and angles at an affordable price to small-to–medium fabricators. Voortman does the same.

The Voortman can import DXF files and can use them to process 3-D shapes as long as the steel is detailed according to specific rules. Some of these rules might be different to the way you are detailing at the moment and might require some adjustment. This process is not nearly as seamless as the 3-D modeling software solutions above.

Frequently Asked Questions

A machine that cuts and trims marble slabs using a combination of a wheel and a gearing.

Preheat the I-beam using the torch flame. To start cutting, grab the torch trigger and hold it. Holding the torch trigger, point it at the outer edge to cut along the line. You can stop if necessary and then continue where you left off.

To remove more wood from the back, angle the coping saw 30 degrees. Pro tip: Trimmings that have been cut with coping cuts can often leave thin, pointed tips. To prevent them from splintering, support the tips with your finger while you file, cut, or sand. Pro tip: Keep your eyes on the outside of the line.

The ideal thickness for aluminum copings According to architectural fabrication manuals, a thickness of 2.00mm is recommended for coping widths of up to 550mm and 3.00mm for those that exceed 650mm. These are only guidelines.

Continuous: A beam that extends over more than two supports. Cantilever: A beam that projects from one end and is fixed at the other. The support on the opposite end of the beam is not needed. We will examine some classic beam loading examples. This simple beam has two supports and a centre load.
