Capping Beam Design Example
Voortman uses the Voortman's torch nozzle. The nozzle is specially engineered to last 3 - 6 month depending on how hot your machine runs. The torch nozzle is difficult to bend due to the head breakaway that deflects it. The heat of the gases through the nozzle eventually causes nozzles to become worn. Replacement torch tips are available for $75 per tip.
Even if you are programming the CNC Beam Coping Machine manually, it is easy to program. Programming the machine is easy with Peddimat. Most operators can program most parts in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. It is best to program the machine by importing parts directly from a 3D CAD drawing. This should be done using software like StruMis, ProSteel 3D and StruMis. These files are directly imported into the machine. In some cases, the operator may have to edit the part programming to create a guide out for smooth cutting. After selecting the part to process, he presses the Cycle start button.
