Another issue is that plasma heads can be damaged if the flame blows back when cutting thicker sections of material, even with wide-flange beams.

Voortman developed Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software, which takes CNC innovation to the next level by allowing users to program more quickly and accurately. The 3D platform allows you to inspect, modify, and export part information. This, combined with Voortman CNC technology, means maximum fabricator capacity.

The Voortman beam copier machine is very simple and has few moving parts. This makes maintenance very affordable. Voortman's components are sourced from the major manufacturers. Voortman stocks all parts for next day delivery in America. We offer local support in many of our overseas countries.

Using a CNC beam coping machine is actually safer than using a handheld torch. The operator is able to operate the machine remotely and this moves the operator further removed from the cutting flame.

Voortman’s software includes CAD for custom designs, CAM for nesting, and CNC for automated operations. The software is compatible with nearly any design or profile and requires no annual service contract.

At the time of machine installation our factory trained service tech will spend approximately 5 days on site, installing your machine, calibrating it and re-training your operators. This will provide more than enough hands on operation, as well as maintenance, troubleshooting and diagnostic training.

Frequently Asked Questions

The blade is very thin so it works well with the pull. The steel frame's spring tension keeps the blade in place. This rigidity allows for the blade to move on both the upward and downward strokes, but it is only when the blade actually cuts that the blade cuts.

Maximum stress is found at the beam's surface farthest away from the neutral axis. This is known as "maximum surface stress", and it is usually represented by the sigma symbol.

A coping, an architectural construction that is placed on top of a wall then runs down its sides, encasing bricks and providing weather protection, is called a coping. A capping is a covering that sits on top of the wall, with its edges aligned to the wall's width.

Both coping saws as well as jigsaws can cut curves or irregular shapes. Due to its shorter blade and faster speed, a jigsaw works better for cutting very irregular shapes or tight curves. For curved or circular curves, coping saws work better.

A coping saw is what you need if you're cutting intricate exteriors or interior cuts into wood. A hacksaw is a tool that can be used to cut metal pipes and plastic.
