Simple Beam Vs Continuous Beam

METEOR-1200 can reduce the time it takes to drill or on-site assembly. METEOR-1200 can drill beams, angles and flat sheets of any geometry. The state-of-art control system allows you to mill slots, pockets, and any other geometry.

The basic unit comprises a semiautomatic, oxyfuel-fuel coping system. The operator positions the piece, fine tunes it, cuts the material, and adjusts the torch height. A laser can be used to automatically set the torch height and probe the material. The basic unit also comes with powered conveyors. These allow the operator the ability to manually measure the length of the feedstock and mark it before cutting. There is an optional automated measuring device that uses laser to measure the feed stock. The operator can input the material to be cut through the interface. Operator scrolls through a number of options via pictorial representations displayed on the computer touch screen. The computer is programmed to display all the dimensions of AISC structural Steel. A fully dimensioned, dimensional cope drawing is available to facilitate programming and save time. Operators have the option to override or customize input and they can save it as a new programming program, if required. DSTV exported diagrams can also be used to program the machine. The wireless remote control allows the operator to turn on, off and operate the equipment. The operator can freely view the equipment at any angle that is necessary to verify operation and maintain accuracy. The operator marks the material, then moves it to a suitable position. Finally, he clamps the material hydraulically so that it can be cut. The operator aligns his laser to the mark and starts the cycle. The torch turns on, preheating and heating the material. The operator initiates the process of cutting and finishes it as long the torch height is maintained.

Another problem is the fact that it is common for flames to blow back when cutting thicker pieces of a part.

APC 1200, a fully upgraded unit, is available in addition to the basic unit. It is capable of oxy-fuel cutting and plasma combination, both with the torches mounted on a pivoting cylinder head. They can switch between them electronically in under a second and without any need to be done manually. The Plasma is used most of the time to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed with the ability to automatically switch over to Oxy Fuel if there is a material thickness that exceeds the Plasma's cut capacity. The laser probing is included in this upgraded unit.

The APC 1200 is an upgraded version of the APC 1200. The combination plasma and oxy fuel cutting features are available with both torches mounted on pivoting heads. The computers will control the flipping of one to the other in less than a second, so you don't have to do any manual work. To maximize efficiency, the machine is operated primarily using the Plasma. The machine is preprogrammed so that it automatically switches to the Oxy Fuel if the material thickness exceeds the Plasma's cutting capabilities. The upgraded unit includes laser probing to adjust the height automatically.

Along with the basic unit that has some optional upgrade features, there is also the fully upgraded APC 1200. It has combination plasma and oxy-fuel cutting with both torches mounted on a pivoting head. They will flip one to the other interchangeably via computer control in a second without having to do anything manually. The machine is operated primarily with the Plasma to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed to automatically switch to the Oxy Fuel when the material thickness is beyond the cutting capacity of the Plasma. This upgraded unit comes standard with the laser probing for automatic height adjustment.

The CNC Beam Coping Machine (also known as the Beam Coping Machine) is the most cost-effective beam coper on the market. It is the result of strong and productive cooperation with Voortman - the top manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machines.

Because of the speed and quality of their cuts, plasma heads are very popular in cutting steel. The plasma head is too big to reach the flange. Also, many of the types of copes that are required in beams cannot be done with the plasma head.
