Beam Coping Machine John

The CNC Beam Coping Machine has the lowest price beam coper in the universe and was developed through a productive partnership with Voortman. Voortman is the largest manufacturer of structural steel fabrication machinery.

"..in the two and half years we've had a Voortman the efficiency of the preparation processes for our product has been dramatically increased. The old method of handling and welding preparation was tedious. Manually laying out, and burning, left much to be desired. The Liberator burns much cleaner and takes up less time. The Liberator can be compact and still deliver big results. Ocean has offered a way to save time and money. Our customers also get a quality product.

The basic unit is an oxy-fuel, semi-automatic coping machine. The operator places the workpiece and finetunes it before starting the cutting. An automated laser option is available to automatically probe the workpiece and adjust the torch height. The basic unit includes powered conveyors that allow the operator to manually measure and mark the length of the feed stock before cutting. Optional automated measuring system using Laser measurement of feed stock is available. Operators can input the material type they wish to cut via the interface. The computer touch screen allows the operator to scroll through a selection of options using pictorial representations. All dimensions of the AISC structural steel are programmed into the computer. The computer displays a fully dimensioned cope drawing, which simplifies programming and minimizes operator error. Operators can modify and override the input, and it can also be saved as a new program, as desired. You can pre-programme the machine from your office using DSTV exported drawings. The operator can use a wireless remote to control the equipment. The Operator can view the equipment from any angle he needs to ensure accuracy and verify operations. The operator marks the material and moves it into position. Finally, hydraulically clamps the material for cutting. The laser is aligned to the operator's mark by the operator and the cycle begins. The torch is ignited, pre-heating material. Operator initiates and finishes the cutting process manually, ensuring that the torch height is maintained.

Multi-torch or triple torch CNC beam copier machines usually have three torches. Each torch is dedicated for a web or flange. The triple torch machine takes less time to position than the single torch machine. However, the single torch can make a lot more cuts due to the 5-axis movement and versatility of its cutting head. A majority of triple torch machines are 3-4 times more expensive than our single torch CNC beam-coping machine.

Remote assistance can't solve all problems. Still, there are common mechanical problems and questions that require human attention. Voortman machines include high-definition webcams and software. Voortman workers can directly experience the activity at the site without having to travel. It is very useful in foreign countries and situations where it might be difficult to communicate the issue effectively.

Voortman can make the steel beams’ copes cut faster than your layoutman. Voortman CNC Angle Line and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line both brought automation of beams and angles at an affordable price to small-to–medium fabricators. Voortman does the same.

Of course, the most important reason is price. High-carcinogenic dust from plasma cutting must be collected in a dust extraction filtering unit. The price of fully enclosing the machine to evacuate dust is much higher than what a typical fabricator can afford for a beam handling solution.
