We also provide service for all structural steel fabrication machinery, including beam coping machines. Contact us to schedule a service date today.
The Voortman CNC Beam Coper can be used by fabricators or general job shops to cut and notch different types of steel profiles. The following questions can help you decide if this machine is the right one for your needs.
Another issue is that plasma heads can be damaged if the flame blows back when cutting thicker sections of material, even with wide-flange beams.
The most important factor is, of course, cost. Plasma cutting produces extremely carcinogenic dust, which must be captured in a dust extraction filtering device. The cost of enclosing the machine completely to evacuate the dust increases the cost far beyond what a typical fabricator would be willing to pay for a beam-coping solution.
Many large fabricators upgraded from a 3 ton machine to a Voortman. It will tell all.
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam-coping machine's triple torch design allows you to cut two flanges at once. Flange thins can be performed simultaneously on top and bottom flanges. Weld prep can also be done concurrently to keep operating costs low. The ABCM-1250 oxyfuel coper makes it possible to do more close flange cutting without the need for torch probing.
Although 90% of support issues can be resolved by Voortman’ 24 Hour Tech Support center, an expansive network of 50+ Voortman field service personnel are stationed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand.
Programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine is very simple and intuitive even for operators with no CNC or computer experience.
To service our global clientele, Voortman proudly provides our partners with 24 hour technical support. Voortman’ inside service staff have years of experience in the field, assembly, or factory checkout which provides them with hands-on experience with most machines. At Voortman their service staff is not only available when you need them, but they maintain superior knowledge to solve questions as they arise.
We can assure you that the Robotic coping/profiler machine has passed all critical fabrication tests: hardness, surface texture and beam flange access hole quality. It also successfully scaled bolt hole sizing and positioning. We have made available, through our stocking, the Voortman CNC Coping and Profiling machine. It is made to an exceptional standard for you, hence its extraordinary capacities.
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.

We prefer to have the machine installed indoors. However, we do have several Voortman beam cooper installations outside. But the machine and its control panel should be protected from the elements. Contact us for photos of any of our outside installations.
Voortman has been built for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. only. Voortman takes care of installation, warranty work and service. Voortman provides the service, but Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is available to assist if required.
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.
Lightweight coping saws have a thin blade that is ideal for cutting intricate shapes and curves. Although coping saws can be easy to use, they can be intimidating.
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.
Coping is an architectural term that refers to the top course masonry used to "cape" an exterior wall's top. Coping can be sloped or curved to divert water away.
Fret Saws are also known as Jeweler's Saws. They are smaller than Coping Saws. They have shorter blades and are designed for maneuverability and quick turns. They can be used for metal work and woodwork if the blade is right.
