Wooden Beam Vs Steel Beam

Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cutting heads are simple and economical oxy fuel heads. They use oxygen and any fuel that you like, such as propylene, acetylene, and natural gas. These gases are extremely inexpensive and easily available from your welding dealer. Welders that are familiar with torch cutting techniques will be able adjust the flow rate of the Oxy fuel just as they are used.

There are two options for upgrading the APC 1200, which is a fully upgraded version of the basic unit. Combination plasma and oxyfuel cutting are possible with both torches mounted onto a pivoting head. Both can be switched between each other by computer control, and they will do so in one second. To maximize efficiency, the Plasma is used to operate the machine. It has been preprogrammed to switch to Oxy Fuel automatically when material thickness exceeds its cutting capabilities. This upgraded unit is standard with laser probing for height adjustment.

The basic unit is a semi-automatic, oxy-fuel coping machine. The operator positions the workpiece, finetunes it, starts the cut and adjusts the torch height while cutting. (There is an automated option for a laser to auto probe and set the torch height.) The basic unit comes with powered conveyors where the operator manually measures and marks the X length on the feed stock prior to cutting. (There is also an optional automated measuring system via Laser measuring of the feed stock.) The interface allows the operator to input material type to be cut. The operator scrolls through a list of options via pictorial representations on the computer touch screen. The computer is programmed with all the AISC structural steel dimensions. A fully dimensioned cope drawing is displayed simplifying programing, saving time and minimizing operator input error. The operator can override and customize the input as needed, and it can be stored as a new program, if desired. The machine can also be pre-programmed from the office through DSTV exported drawings. There is a wireless remote control that the operator uses to start, stop and operate the equipment. This allows the Operator to freely walk around viewing from any angle needed to verify operations and maintain accuracy. The operator makes his mark on the material, moves the material into position, and hydraulically clamps the material to be cut into place. The operator lines the laser to the mark and begins the cycle. The torch ignites, pre-heating the material. The operator manually initiates the cutting process and finishes the cut as he maintains the proper torch height.

Voortman CNC Beam Coper can be operated easily and is used mainly by men who are responsible for floor layout. It is not necessary to have any computer knowledge. Full training is given at the time the installation is completed.

Dragon's front positioning gate and the chuck are easily adjustable, making it easy for you to load and arrange different shapes and sizes of materials.

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.
