Beam Coping Machine Manual

The basic unit is an oxy-fuel, semi-automatic coping machine. The operator places the workpiece and finetunes it before starting the cutting. An automated laser option is available to automatically probe the workpiece and adjust the torch height. The basic unit includes powered conveyors that allow the operator to manually measure and mark the length of the feed stock before cutting. Optional automated measuring system using Laser measurement of feed stock is available. Operators can input the material type they wish to cut via the interface. The computer touch screen allows the operator to scroll through a selection of options using pictorial representations. All dimensions of the AISC structural steel are programmed into the computer. The computer displays a fully dimensioned cope drawing, which simplifies programming and minimizes operator error. Operators can modify and override the input, and it can also be saved as a new program, as desired. You can pre-programme the machine from your office using DSTV exported drawings. The operator can use a wireless remote to control the equipment. The Operator can view the equipment from any angle he needs to ensure accuracy and verify operations. The operator marks the material and moves it into position. Finally, hydraulically clamps the material for cutting. The laser is aligned to the operator's mark by the operator and the cycle begins. The torch is ignited, pre-heating material. Operator initiates and finishes the cutting process manually, ensuring that the torch height is maintained.

A CNC beam coping machine using a single torch can be referred to as a 5-axis machine. It uses one torch to complete all the coping. A single torch is used to coping a beam. It will first cut at the web then move onto the flanges. It will move from one flange to another in an ordered manner. The 5-axis torch has the ability to move in virtually any direction or position. This allows for complex and intricate tasks. The 5-axis torch will make double miter/bevel cuts to both the web and flange. Multi-torch systems can't do this.

Bend-Tech Dragon A400 CNC Tube Cutting, Engraving, and Marking Machine is commercial grade. Dragon A400, combined with the most powerful CAD/CAM program in the world will accomplish the job quickly and accurately.

For those who may have questions as to the standards of our Robotic coping and profiling machine, we can confidently say that ours has scaled the most vital fabrication tests successfully; hardness, surface texture, beam flange weld access hole quality, bolt hole sizing, positioning and perpendicularity. As always, we have through our stocking made available the Voortman CNC coping and profiling machine, which is designed to an exceptional standard just for you, hence its outstanding capacities.

Voortman is proud to offer 24 hour technical assistance to its partners in order that they can serve our global clients. Voortman's staff are highly skilled in all aspects of the service industry, including assembly and factory checkout. This gives them a lot of hands-on experience with almost all machines. Voortman’s service staff is always there for you, and they have the knowledge and experience to resolve any problems that arise.

Voortman's software features CAD for custom design, CAM to nest and CNC for automated operations. It is compatible with almost any profile or design and does not require an annual service contract.

Voortman was developed to meet all of your needs for plate and structural steel fabrication. Voortman contains the following state of-the-art features that will improve your production.

Voortman lets you upload a profile for the cope to the CNC software using the built-in shape libraries or CAD. It is easy to calibrate cutting tolerances and nest parts for coping. You can also track the path of robotic cutting before it starts so you can avoid making mistakes. Voortman will then be able to start coping with perfect material by simply loading it and pressing the Start button.
