A triple torch or multiple torch CNC beam coping machine typically has three torches. Each torch can be dedicated to a web, flange, or torch. The single torch machine is more versatile than the existing triple torch machines, and can perform a greater number of cuts than the existing triple torch machines. Additionally, the average triple torch machine costs 3-4 times as much as our single torch CNC beam copier.
Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated, highly trained and eager to improve their productivity. Call for pricing and details.
All types of steel fabrication machinery are also available for service, including beam-coping machines. To schedule a service, please contact us.
Another drawback is that when cutting thicker areas of a part, even on light wide-flange beams, for instance the radius at the intersection of the web and the flange, it is typical for the flame to blow back, and this can and cause damage to the plasma head.
Dragon's front position gate is and chuck is easily adjustable, making it easy to load or set up materials of different shapes and sizes.
All structural steel fabrication machines can be serviced by us. Call us today to set up a service appointment.
In the competitive world of steel fabrication, reduction of man hours is the ultimate challenge. Fabricators across the globe utilize this time-tested technology to increase their shop capacity and efficiency.
A CNC beam coping tool is safer than a handheld torch. The machine can also be controlled remotely from the operator. This allows him to stay further away than the flame.
With the ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutting machine, achieve miter or straight cutting on a new level. In record time, place in-line with Voortman’s automatic sawing systems and separate beams.
The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. 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 lets you upload a profile for the cope to the CNC software using the built-in shape libraries or CAD. It is easy to calibrate cutting tolerances and nest parts for coping. You can also track the path of robotic cutting before it starts so you can avoid making mistakes. Voortman will then be able to start coping with perfect material by simply loading it and pressing the Start button.
The CNC Beam Coping Machine, which is the world's most affordable beam coper, is the result a strong collaboration with Voortman (the number one manufacturer structural steel fabricating machinery).
Plasma heads are very popular for cutting steel, due to the high quality and speed of the cuts. However, due to the size of the plasma cutting head it is not possible to get the head close enough to the flange, and many styles of copes typically required in beams are just not possible with plasma heads.
Although we would prefer the machine to remain indoors, many Voortman beam coper installation are outside. However, the machine must be protected from the elements. To see photos from our many outside installations, please feel free to contact me.
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.
Fixed connections, pinned and roller connections are the most popular types of support in beams and structures that connect to their foundation. You can see any of these supports at any point along the length of a structural component.
Coping Saw Coping Saws are handsaws that can cut extremely tight curves in thin stock like trim molding. They can be used to cut outside (from the edge), on stock up to two or three inches thick.
A coping, an architectural construction that is placed on top of a wall then runs down its sides, encasing bricks and providing weather protection, is called a coping. A capping is a covering that sits on top of the wall, with its edges aligned to the wall's width.
Manufacturers limit beam lengths to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.
