Steel Beam Coping
Voortman was designed to be an all-in-one solution for your structural steel and plate fabrication needs. To refine your production, Voortman includes the following state-of-the-art features:
Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated, highly trained and eager to improve their productivity. Call for pricing and details.
We are very particular about making fabrication tasks easy and efficient. This Robotic coping beam and profiling beam can process square tubes, angles bars, channels, square pipes, as well as T bars, plates, bulbs, and other materials. The possibilities for functions on your pipes/profiles are endless with any of our Coping or profiling Robots. It is an extremely efficient tooling system that produces high quality outputs. These outputs could be H, I, and T beams respectively, or U and L channels.
Reducing man hours in steel fabrication is a major challenge. This tried-and-true technology is used worldwide by steel fabricators to increase shop capacity, and their efficiency.
We have installed more then a thousand CNC beamlines and angle lines across the globe. We have found that the average operator who has never programmed any machine before can become proficient on it in less half a day.
Because you might get a request from a customer for a couple of pieces, you will need to train your operator in Peddimat.
Because we care about making fabrication tasks smooth and efficient, this Robotic Coping and Profiling beam was created. It is capable of processing square tubes, channel bars, angle bars, square tubes, but also pipes, T-bars, plates, and bulbs. Our Coping and profiling robots can perform a wide variety of functions on your pipe cuts/profiles. They are an efficient tooling system with unmatched quality. These outputs may be H, T beams, U or L channels.
Voortman has to use roller conveyors for moving the steel through his machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. makes a special modular system to fit the machine. This modular system, known as the Ocean Eliminator features infeed/outfeed powered roller conveyors as a well as powered lift/carry cross transfer.
The best part is that many large fabricators have upgraded to a Voortman from a 3-torch. You will be amazed at the results!
Voortman was built only for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. Voortman is responsible for the installation, warranty, and service of the Voortman. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the Voortman. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. can also be contacted if necessary.
The detailer will then send you a DWG, PLT, or PDF file to use for printing or plotting your drawings. You will also receive the NC1 or NC2 files from your detailer that you can import directly into you machine. Standard on the Voortman is the DSTV-Import feature.
Voortman's support can make it possible to reduce production time by as much 80%. That is a huge return on your investment. This beam coping machine, which is the best in its industry, comes with unlimited support throughout your life. You can even get turnkey installation and training anywhere within the U.S.
AutoCAD is and architectural software and works well for exporting flat 2-D pieces to plate processing machines. Where it falls short is in its ability to export files for 3-D shapes like beams, channel, angles etc. AutoCAD exports both DWG files and DXF files which are perfect for plates.
Voortman uses the long torchnozzle of a special torch to reach the insides of Flanges. We offer a range of sizes to suit the thickness of your material. You can specify which gas is being used with torch tips: Acetylene (Natural Gas), MAPP, Propane and others.
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.
