Most importantly, many large fabricators have upgraded their 3-torch machines to a Voortman. This should tell you everything.

Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line, Voortman CNC Beam Drill Line, and Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line made it possible to automate beams and angles at a reasonable cost for the small-tomedium fabricator. Now the Voortman Liberty allows automated beam handling in shops that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.

AutoCAD can be used to export flat 2-D pieces to plate-processing machines. It is not able to export files for 3-D shapes such as angles, beams, channels, etc. AutoCAD can export both DWG and DXF files, which is perfect for plates.

Developed by Voortman, Raptor 3D CAD/CAM Software takes CNC innovation further by enabling users to program faster and more accurately. Inspect, modify and export part information directly within the 3D platform. This coupled with Voortman CNC technology means maximum capacity for fabricators.

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.

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.

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.

This safety mechanism increases the time between tip and head wear and prevents costly torch tip changes and repairs.

Voortman's software has CAD to create custom designs, CAM to nest, and CNC to automate operations. The software is compatible to almost all designs and profiles, and doesn't require an annual service agreement.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are many ways to think about coping strategies. The five most common types are problem-focused, emotion-focused, religious, social, and meaning-making.

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.

The blade is very thin so it works well with the pull. The steel frame's spring tension keeps the blade in place. This rigidity allows for the blade to move on both the upward and downward strokes, but it is only when the blade actually cuts that the blade cuts.

H-Beams. H-beams are one of the strongest steel beams. It is composed of horizontal elements and the web by vertical beams. Popular in civil engineering and construction, the web and flanges create a cross section that is similar to the shape of the letter H.

A coping saw simply has a C-shaped steel frame that holds pivoting blade holders. These pin the blade's ends. The blade can be tightened by a few twists of its handle. This tensions the blade and allows it to make fast, precise cuts in almost any material.
