Robot Machine
Coping is a process used in structural steel and plate fabrication to make relief cuts in a beam to allow it to fit with other parts of the framework. Although you can coping with a torch handheld, professional structural steel fabricators use a beam-coping machine to increase precision and speed up their production. Voortman's industry-leading CNC beam-coping machine offers a unique advantage to those who know it.
Our office hours run from 8am to 5pm Eastern Time. We are experts in all aspects of the machine. We welcome technical support calls anytime during our business hours.
Multiple axis positioning permits top and bottom flanges to be cut simultaneously. Flange beveling for weld prep is easily achieved with pivoting torches to the programmed miter position.
To coping in the steel and plate manufacturing industry, it is the act of making relief cuts on the beam to make it fit with other parts. While you can do the coping with a handheld torch or a laser, many professional structural steel fabricators will use an automated beam coping machine to speed up production. Voortman knowledge is a huge advantage. This industry-leading CNC beam copier machine has many remarkable advantages.
The CNC Beam Coping Machine is the most affordable beam coper in the world, and is the result of a strong and productive collaboration with Voortman, the number one manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machinery.
Voortman’s Roller Feed Measuring System surpasses industry standards in roller measurement technology. Accuracy in measurement is vital to avoid any production delays. Even with material deviations, accuracy cannot be compromised.
At the time of machine installation our factory trained service tech will spend approximately 5 days on site, installing your machine, calibrating it and re-training your operators. This will provide more than enough hands on operation, as well as maintenance, troubleshooting and diagnostic training.
Because of their high quality and fast cutting speed, plasma heads are extremely popular for cutting steel. Plasma heads are too large to fit into the flange. Many of the copes required for beams are not possible because of this.
Voortman was developed to meet all of your needs for plate and structural steel fabrication. Voortman contains the following state of-the-art features that will improve your production.
Software falling under this category includes X-Steel (SDS/2), Tekla Structures (StruCAD), DetailCAD and SteelCAD. All 3-D modeling software exports the DSTV file which is then seamlessly imported into Voortman.
This machine is in stock and ready for immediate delivery. An additional cost may be charged for installation and operator training.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is confident that its Robotic Coping and Profiling technology is unmatched in the industry. This plasma technology system can be used to cut through a wide range metal profiles.
Voortman's 24-hour tech support can resolve 90%, but there is an extensive network of 50+ Voortman service personnel who are stationed in North and South America as well as Europe, Africa and Asia.
The unbeatable combination of efficiency and speed is achieved by three torchers for simultaneous oxyfuel cutting. The ABCM-1250 CNC beam-coping machine is capable of miter cutting as well as beveled welding preparation on both the top and bottom. It also features automatic torch ignition.
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.
