Oxy-fuel
Copping is an industry term that refers to making relief cuts in the beam in order to ensure it fits with the other parts of the framework. You can do coping using a handheld torch but many professional structural steel fabricators will use a beam cutter machine to improve accuracy and speed up production. Voortman-savvy workers have an advantage because of the many benefits that this CNC beam coping machine provides.
The PCR41 is a revolutionary design that combines robots, vision systems, and plasma torch tech to offer the best combination in speed, accuracy, and precision when cutting steel.
We can assure you that the Robotic coping/profiler machine has passed all critical fabrication tests: hardness, surface texture and beam flange access hole quality. It also successfully scaled bolt hole sizing and positioning. We have made available, through our stocking, the Voortman CNC Coping and Profiling machine. It is made to an exceptional standard for you, hence its extraordinary capacities.
With our top of-the-range profiling and coping robot, all of your 3D coping can be made much easier. These Robotic Coping and Profile beams are reliable and can be used for cutting slots, chamlers, or saddles.
This 5-axis CNC robotic oxyfuel cutting beam coper is extremely economical. It can make any type cut on beams and channels, angels or plates. This versatile profile cutter can cut virtually any shape you can imagine. It can also be used to cut lengths!
Importing files directly from steel detailing software is preferable. This eliminates the need for additional steps and eliminates any potential errors in data capture. In this regard, there are two distinct groups:
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutting machine features a triple torch design which allows simultaneous cutting of two different flanges. Flange thins on both the top and bottom end of the flanges are done simultaneously. This reduces operating expenses. The ABCM-1250 is an oxy-fuel coper that allows for easier near-flange cuts without lengthy torch probing.
Voortman designs machines to meet our strict specifications. Voortman focuses on larger fabricators while Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is a machine manufacturer that targets small-medium fabricators. Voortman has been building machines in Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s shop for over 10 years. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is Voortman's biggest customer.
"..the Liberator's time saved for cutting beams, we can also add the time it takes to fit 2 pieces together perfectly so that no additional trimming or extra work is required. We do not need to fill gaps in welding. We save time both in the fitting and welding. "The Liberator saved me so much time and grey hair. It's worth it!"
Professional fabricators need to be aware of the complexities that economic turbulence can bring. Many structural steel fabrication companies adopt a lean manufacturing strategy to manage operating costs and still meet their production goals when economic storms strike. This is a key way to keep costs down.
To service our global clientele, Voortman proudly provides our partners with 24 hour technical support. Voortman’ inside service staff have years of experience in the field, assembly, or factory checkout which provides them with hands-on experience with most machines. At Voortman their service staff is not only available when you need them, but they maintain superior knowledge to solve questions as they arise.
A factory trained service technician will spend around 5 days on-site installing your machine and calibrating it. This will give you hands-on training, troubleshooting, and diagnostics.
The Voortman is built exclusively for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. by Voortman. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the Voortman. And while Voortman is the service provider, Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is always there to get involved should the need arise.
Voortman's Roller Feed Measuring system surpasses industry standards. The key to accurate measurements is not allowing for any production hesitations. Even when there are material variations, accuracy must be maintained.
A 10-foot I-beam of steel will cost $60-$180, while a 40 foot beam will cost between $240-$720.
To ensure beams and columns are in harmony (interference free), it is necessary to notch or copoe beams. Sometimes, it is necessary to remove material from a web or flange in order to allow the intersecting steel pieces fit.
Avoiding problems is one of the most popular unhealthy coping strategies. ... Too much sleep. ... Excessive use of drugs or alcohol. Impulsive spending. ... Eating too much or not enough.
The strength tolerances of the C-beam are lower than those of the I-beam. This results in lighter components. Continue reading if you have never used C-beam profiles. Let us walk you through the basics to help you decide if it is right for you.
Both can serve the same purpose. A coping saw can also be used for cutting thin pieces of metal, plastic or wood. A jigsaw is also useful.
