Beam Coping Machine Elevator

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 Voortman beam and coping machine has very few moving components, which makes maintenance easy and affordable. Voortman has been designed for worldwide use and only uses parts from top manufacturers. The majority of components can be obtained locally. Voortman always has spare parts available for next-day delivery in the USA. We offer local service and support in almost all of our overseas destinations.

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.

Voortman’s software includes CAD and CAM for custom designs as well as nesting and CNC for automated operation. The software is compatible for almost all profiles and designs. There is no annual contract.

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.

This versatile profile cutter can cut virtually any shape you can imagine. It can also be used to cut lengths!

Beam Coping Machine How To Use

To move the steel through the Voortman's machine, the Voortman needs roller conveyors. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. provides a customized modular system for the machine. The modular system, called the Ocean Eliminator, features in-feed or out-feed powered roller conveyors as well as powered lift/carry cross transfers.

“..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!”

Voortman uses a torch nozzle specially made for him. It will usually last between 3 and 6 months, depending on how hot the machine is run. The torch nozzle can be bent almost impossible due to the breakaway head that redirects the torchnozzle. The heat from the gases that pass through the nozzle eventually causes the nozzles to wear out. For $75 each tip, you can get replacement torch tips.

Frequently Asked Questions

A coping saw, a type of bow-saw used to cut intricate exterior shapes and interior cuts in woodworking or carpentry, is referred to as a 'combo saw'. It is used for cutting moldings that create mitre or cope joints.

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.

To ensure beams and columns are in harmony (interference free), it is necessary to notch or copoe beams. Sometimes, it is necessary to remove material from a web or flange in order to allow the intersecting steel pieces fit.

Coping, Latin for "coping", is the covering or capping of a wall. A wedge or splayed coping slopes in one direction. A saddle coping slopes to the opposite side of a central highpoint.

Weiten identified four types of coping strategies. They are: problem-focused (adaptive cognitive), appraisal-focused (adaptive behavioral), emotion focused (emotion-focused) and occupation-focused. Billings and Moos also added avoidance coping to the list of emotion-focused coping.
