Voortman's beam coping capabilities can help you propel your business forward and keep your competition at bay. Contact us today to find out more.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine operators should be able to use oxy-fuel. Although we can quickly train most operators on the software side, gas cutting skills and experience are best acquired over many years of hand-cutting.
This safety mechanism ensures long tip and head life as well as significantly increasing up time to avoid costly torch tip changeovers and repairs.
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam-coping machine can achieve miter and straight cutting at new heights. You can place the machine in line with any Voortman's automatic sawing system or separate beams in record-breaking time.
This safety mechanism increases the time between tip and head wear and prevents costly torch tip changes and repairs.

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.
Voortman's Roller Feed Measurement System exceeds industry standards for roller measurement technology. It is essential to ensure that accurate measurements are taken without any delay in production. Even if there are slight variations in the material, accuracy is maintained.
Bend-Tech Dragon A400 is a commercial grade CNC tube cutting, engraving, and marking machine. Combined with the world’s most powerful CAD/CAM software, Dragon A400 will get the job done with accuracy and speed.
The cutting head for the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine is a simple and inexpensive oxy-fuel head, and utilizes oxygen and any fuel of your choice, including propane, acetylene, propylene, or natural gas. These gases are very inexpensive and freely available from your welding supplier, and welders familiar with hand torch cutting will be able to set up the flow rates of the Oxy-Fuel just as they are used to doing.
The CNC Beam Coping Machine is the most affordable beam coper in the world, and is the result of a strong and productive collaboration with Voortman, the number one manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machinery.
Voortman has been built for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. only. Voortman takes care of installation, warranty work and service. Voortman provides the service, but Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is available to assist if required.
Voortman can import DXF file and can use them for processing 3-D shapes, provided that the steel is detailed according specific rules. These rules may not be applicable to your current detailing and may require some adjustments. This process is not as smooth as the 3-D modeling software.
Voortman’s Roller Feed Measuring Technology exceeds the industry standard. It is important to maintain accurate measurements without hesitation during production. Even though there may be slight deviations in the material, accuracy should not be compromised.
Cladding is usually made up of thin slabs of about 3cm thickness with a front finish and placed on the walls. Copings come in different thicknesses and are located at the top of walls.
Steel is stronger than wood pound for pound. It's amazing to see how engineered wood beams have evolved over the past 40-years.
Coping is a process that allows a beam to fit into other parts of a framework.
Douglas fir is perhaps the strongest of all wood beams. Although there may be a stronger wood, I don't know of any. Lumber mills today make beams in the same way as plywood. To make extremely strong structural engineered timbers, they use layers of solid wood that have been glued together.
As can be seen, shear stresses change quadratically with distance y1 from neutral axis. The neutral axis is the point where shear stress is maximal. It is also zero at the beam's top and bottom surfaces.
