I-beams
This software includes X-Steel and SDS/2, Tekla Structures as well as StruCAD, DetailCAD (BOCAD), SteelCAD, ProSteel 3D, etc. These 3-D modeling programs export the DSTV files that can be seamlessly imported into Voortman.
Another problem is that when cutting thicker portions of a piece, even using light wide-flange beams (e.g. the radius at intersection of the web, and the flange), it is not uncommon for the flame back to blow away, which can damage the plasma head.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine operators must be proficient in cutting with oxyfuel. While we can train any operator quickly on the machine's software side, the skills and experience required to cut with gas are acquired over many years.
The process of making relief cuts to the beam in order for it to fit into other parts of a framework is called coping. A handheld torch can be used to coping, but professional structural steel fabricators prefer to use a beam coping device to speed up production and improve precision. Voortman is an industry-leading CNC beam cutter that gives you a significant advantage over your competitors.
These features were designed to increase cut precision and are not available on all beam coping machines. Voortman includes them as standard.
The Voortman comes equipped with a 12-month parts or labor warranty. The factory service technicians will fix your Voortman Beam Coping Machine in no time.
Copping is an industry term that refers to making relief cuts in the beam in order to ensure it fits with the other parts of the framework. You can do coping using a handheld torch but many professional structural steel fabricators will use a beam cutter machine to improve accuracy and speed up production. Voortman-savvy workers have an advantage because of the many benefits that this CNC beam coping machine provides.
Literally anything that you can draw, can be cut by this superbly versatile profile cutting machine. Not only does it cope, but it cuts to length too!
Programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine is very simple and intuitive even for operators with no CNC or computer experience.
Your operator will quickly learn to use the PCR42 Plasma cutter in less than a single day. The interface is extremely user-friendly and straightforward to use. Mac-Tech can help you if ever you have any questions.
Plasma heads are popular because of the quality and speed with which they can be used to cut steel. Plasma heads cannot cut close to the flange because they are too large. There are many styles of copes that can be used in beams, but it is impossible with them.
AutoCAD is an architectural software that can export flat 2-D parts to plate processing machines. The only problem is its inability to export files for 3D shapes, such as beams, channels, angles, and so on. AutoCAD can export DWG files as well as DXF files. This is great for plates.
WTD is back, with extended dates. Now visitors have five days of access to our member's extensive showrooms, and the latest technology. There is no other event that has such a broad display of woodworking equipment. Each location also features live demonstrations.
WTD returns with extended dates. Visitors now have five days to visit the extensive showrooms of our members and view the most recent technology, some even introducing it in North America. You won't find a single event or show that offers such a large selection of woodworking equipment and impressive live demonstrations at every location.
A 10-foot I-beam of steel will cost $60-$180, while a 40 foot beam will cost between $240-$720.
H-Beams. H-beams are one of the strongest steel beams. It is composed of horizontal elements and the web by vertical beams. Popular in civil engineering and construction, the web and flanges create a cross section that is similar to the shape of the letter H.
Coping, Latin for "coping", is the covering or capping of a wall. A wedge or splayed coping slopes in one direction. A saddle coping slopes to the opposite side of a central highpoint.
The H beam's cross section is more robust than that of the I beam. This means it can support a heavier load. The cross section of the H beam, on the other hand, can only bear direct load and tensile. However, it cannot resist twisting due to its narrow cross section. It can only bear force in one direction.
Weiten identified four types of coping strategies. They are: problem-focused (adaptive cognitive), appraisal-focused (adaptive behavioral), emotion focused (emotion-focused) and occupation-focused. Billings and Moos also added avoidance coping to the list of emotion-focused coping.
