Beam Coping Machine Engine

Remote assistance cannot diagnose every problem. Frequently, mechanical issues and questions that require the attention of a human eye are still being addressed. Voortman machines come with high-definition web cameras and software. This allows Voortman employees the opportunity to see the installation in action without leaving the office. This webcam is invaluable in countries where English might not be an option or situations in which it may be difficult to communicate effectively.

The Voortman uses a specially designed torch nozzle that will typically last about 3 – 6 months depending on how hot you run the machine. Because of the break-away head that deflects the torch nozzle, the torch nozzle is almost impossible to bend.However, the nozzles eventually get worn out due to the heat of the gases passing through the nozzle. Replacement torch tips are around $75 per tip.

AutoCAD is an architectural software that can export flat 2-D parts to plate processing machines. The only problem is its inability to export files for 3D shapes, such as beams, channels, angles, and so on. AutoCAD can export DWG files as well as DXF files. This is great for plates.

And of course the most important reason is cost. Cutting steel with plasma produces highly carcinogenic dust that MUST be captured in a dust extraction filtering system. This as well as the cost to completely enclose the machine to evacuate the dust raises the price to far beyond what our typical fabricator is prepared to pay for a beam coping solution.

Your operator will be trained in Peddimat. You might have customers who bring a few pieces to you.

Voortman targets larger fabricators, while Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. targets smaller to medium-sized fabricators. Voortman has been designing machines for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. since more than 10 years. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. ranks as Voortman's largest customer in the world.

The Voortman CNC Beam Coper was designed for fabricators and general jobs shops that have to deal with or notch all types of steel profiles. These questions will help you determine if the machine is right for you.

A single torch CNC beam coping machine is a 5-axis machine that uses only one torch to do all the coping. When coping a beam, the single torch will start cutting at the web and then move on to the flanges. It moves from the web to each flange in sequence. The 5-axis torch is able to move in an almost infinite number of directions and positions, allowing the most complex of copes. The 5-axis torch and will accomplish double miter/bevel cuts on both flange and web – something that multi-torch systems are unable to do.
