I Beam Vs S Beam
The PCR42 plasma cutter can be used by your operator in just a few days. The interface is simple and easy to use. Mac-Tech is always available for assistance if you need it.
"..the Liberator saves us time for cutting the beam, but we also save time by fitting 2 pieces together so precisely that no trimming or additional work are required. We don't need to fill in any gaps with welding. We are able to save both time and money on the welding of the structure. It is also priceless to have the Liberator do my job for me.
The top-of the line coping/profiler makes 3D coping a breeze. These Robotic Coping & Profiling beams are not just reliable, they are also designed to cut saddles, chamlers or slots.
Three torches for simultaneous oxy-fuel cutting create an unmatched combination of speed and efficiency. Capable of miter cutting and beveled weld preparation on the top and bottom flanges, the ABCM-1250 CNC beam coping machine also boasts automatic torch ignition.
This machine is so versatile that it can cut practically any type of drawing. It cuts to any length, and it does not only do the job.
The ultimate challenge in the steel fabrication industry is to reduce man hours. This time-tested technology is used by fabricators around the world to increase shop capacity and efficiency.
The PCR41 combines vision systems, robotics, and plasma torch technology. This innovative design offers you the best value, speed and precision that a robotic plasma cutter can provide.
With us at Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., there is an assurance that our Robotic Coping and Profiling is second to none in the industry with its high definition plasma technology system that is capable of cutting through a wide range of metal profiles for not only structural steel but other metal pieces.
This safety mechanism increases the time between tip and head wear and prevents costly torch tip changes and repairs.
The high quality and speed of plasma cutting heads make them very popular for cutting stainless steel. Plasma heads can't be moved close enough to the flange due to their size. This makes it impossible to use many types of copes normally required in beams.
The CNC Beam Coping Machine can be described as the most economical beam coper anywhere in the world. It's the result of a strong, productive collaboration between Voortman, the leading manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machine.
Voortman, Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., and Voortman have been dedicated to providing reliable, affordable CNC solutions that are both safe for your employees as well as work. The Voortman meets the highest safety standards and uses state of the-art components.
AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machines are capable of drilling from 6 to 80mm and up to 1/4" to 3-1/8". Material is driven onto the table with balls, and then fixed with hydraulic clamping Jaws. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.
“..the time the Liberator saves us for cutting the beam itself, you add on top of that the time it saves us fitting 2 pieces together so accurately that no trimming or additional work is required. In regard to welding, we are not filling gaps anymore. We save time in both the fitting and welding of the structure. Beyond that the amount of grey hair I have saved from having the Liberator do my work, as far as I am concerned is PRICELESS!”
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.
