Voortman
Voortman can open DXF files, and can process 3-D shapes provided the steel is properly detailed. Some of these rules might not apply to what you are currently detailing. This may mean that some adjustments might be required. This is not as easy as using 3-D modeling software.
All structural steel fabrication machines can be serviced by us. Call us today to set up a service appointment.
Advanced solution at steel construction sector once again from AKYAPAK… High speed and high processing performance with AFD up to 1000×1500 mm (40”x60”) materials.
Voortman offers regularly scheduled training courses for all Voortman Ocean equipment in their Bradley Illinois facility. These courses are available for both new operators and retraining existing operators. Participants who have completed this course return to the shop motivated, educated and eager to improve productivity. Please contact us for more information and pricing.
This software includes X-Steel and SDS/2, Tekla Structures as well as StruCAD, DetailCAD (BOCAD), SteelCAD, ProSteel 3D, etc. These 3-D modeling programs export the DSTV files that can be seamlessly imported into Voortman.
This safety feature ensures long head and tip life, as well as greatly increasing the time it takes to prevent costly torch tip repairs and changeovers.
We have successfully installed over a thousand CNC beam and angle lines all around the globe. Our experience has shown that an average operator who has never programmed before can get the machine up and running in less time than one and a half days.
Voortman Technical Support Office is available round the clock and always happy to answer questions, regardless of how simple or difficult.
The ultimate challenge in the steel fabrication industry is to reduce man hours. This time-tested technology is used by fabricators around the world to increase shop capacity and efficiency.
These two features are engineered to improve cut precision, and they’re not found on all beam coping machines. However, they are included standard with Voortman.
Another problem is that when cutting thicker portions of a piece, even using light wide-flange beams (e.g. the radius at intersection of the web, and the flange), it is not uncommon for the flame back to blow away, which can damage the plasma head.
FANUC's robotic arm is equipped with six axes that can bevel 360°. This makes it easy to make any profile or coping beam, plate, or pipe. Hydraulic clamps keep round materials from rotating during processing. This versatility is combined with the exceptional power of HyperthermX-Definition plasma.
Remote assistance may not be able to diagnose all issues. There are still many mechanical problems that need to be addressed by a human. Voortman machines can be shipped with high-definition Web cameras and software. Voortman staff can see what is happening at the installation from their offices without needing to leave the office. The webcam is extremely useful for communicating issues in foreign countries, or where the language barrier might make it difficult.
FANUC has six axes. It can bevel 360°. The FANUC robotic arms can make quick work of any shape or profile. This versatility is complemented by the power and precision of HyperthermXDefinition plasma.
To remove more wood from the back, angle the coping saw 30 degrees. Pro tip: Trimmings that have been cut with coping cuts can often leave thin, pointed tips. To prevent them from splintering, support the tips with your finger while you file, cut, or sand.
Maladaptive coping strategies These are also known as maladaptivecoping mechanisms. Imagine the following stressful situation. We can clearly see that adaptive and maladaptive coping mechanisms are quite different.
Reinforced concrete beams can be made by embedding steel bars along the lengths of structural members to increase their tensile strength. These beams are the most popular.
Manufacturers limit beam lengths to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.
Continuous: A beam that extends over more than two supports. Cantilever: A beam that projects from one end and is fixed at the other. The support on the opposite end of the beam is not needed. We will examine some classic beam loading examples. This simple beam has two supports and a centre load.
