Beam Coping Machine Diagram

The Voortman beam handling machine is simple with few moving parts. It makes it easy to maintain and very economical. Voortman was specifically designed to be used around the globe and uses only components made by major manufacturers. However, many of the parts can be purchased locally. Voortman maintains all parts in stock so that they can be delivered next day to the USA. In many countries, we offer support and local service.

This machine is available for immediate delivery. Extra cost can be charged for training and installation by a factory-trained technician.

Along with the basic unit that has some optional upgrade features, there is also the fully upgraded APC 1200. It has combination plasma and oxy-fuel cutting with both torches mounted on a pivoting head. They will flip one to the other interchangeably via computer control in a second without having to do anything manually. The machine is operated primarily with the Plasma to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed to automatically switch to the Oxy Fuel when the material thickness is beyond the cutting capacity of the Plasma. This upgraded unit comes standard with the laser probing for automatic height adjustment.

Programming the CNC Beam Coping Machine is extremely simple, even if done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat. Most operators will be able to program most of the parts in no more than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best method to program the machine is by import parts directly from an CAD drawing. These files can then be imported directly to the machine. Sometimes the operator will need to edit a part program to ensure smooth cuts. In these cases, he simply selects the part that he wants to process and hits the Cycle Star button.

Voortman uses roller conveyors to move steel through the machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. offers a modular system specifically designed for this machine. This modular system is known as the Ocean Eliminator. It features infeed and outfeed powered roller conveyors and powered lift and cross transfers.

These two features have been designed to improve cutting precision. They are not standard on beam coping machines. Voortman comes with them.

The Voortman CNC Beam Coper has been specifically designed for fabricators, general job shops, and other workers who need to notch or cope with all types of steel profiles. Take a look at the following questions to determine if this machine suits your needs.

The Voortman beam coping machine is equipped with extended rigid and durable torch tips that enable accurate positioning inside flanges. In addition, the closed loop system allows the torch head to break away in the event that the torch head contacts an unexpected obstruction, such as slag build-up.
