Beam Coping Machine Drum

Even for operators who have never used a computer or CNC, programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine can be very easy and intuitive.

Voortman can handle nearly every type of structural steel fabrication, from shaping beams and plate to coping reliefs and custom profiles. In fact, this state-of-the-art CNC beam coping machine can replace the punches, drill lines, band saws, coping and grinding stations, and layout and marking stations in your shop, freeing up valuable space and allowing you to maintain a lean workforce—Voortman requires only one technician to operate. The benefits of Voortman are many and include better quality work, faster turnarounds, and reduced waste.

Programming of the CNC Beam Coping Machine is very simple even when done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat and most operators can learn how to program most parts in less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However the best way to program the machine is to import parts directly from a CAD drawing preferably done in some 3-D modeling software such as Tekla Structures, SDS/2, ProSteel 3D, StruMis etc. These files import directly into the machine. In some cases the operator might need to edit the part program to create a lead out to ensure smooth cutting and then he merely selects the part to be processed and hits the Cycle Start button.

Voortman beam copier machine is equipped to position the torch head precisely within flanges. In the event that the torchhead comes in contact with an unanticipated obstruction, such slag buildup, the closed loop allows it to separate.

Voortman inside service technicians often don’t need to be at your machine to solve a problem you may have. A common internet connection is all that is needed for the Voortman technician to operate your control as if he was standing with you at the machine. The Powerful Windows® based Siemens control used on Voortman equipment allows for this capability, and provides superior diagnostics via Windows® based platform.

The Robotic Coping/Profiling system is an equivalent of an automated fabrication process. It can handle the following processes: beam drill lines, angle lines, hydraulic punches and ironworkers. This is just one way to make your fabrication processes more efficient.

Voortman beam coping machines are equipped with rigid, long-lasting torch tips that allow for precise positioning within flanges. The closed loop system also allows for the torch head's release in the case of an unanticipated obstruction such as slag.
