Steel Beam Coping

Hardened hydraulic jaws with piston helps to fix material to prevent faults. AFD Flange and Plate Drilling Machine is able to drill, tab, mill, mark with scribing and mark with dot.(optional).

Voortman allows you to upload a profile of your cope from either the built-in shape library, or CAD into the CNC software. You can then manually calibrate the cutting tolerances, nest parts to cope, and track robotic cutting routes before work starts. Voortman can then begin to work with perfection by simply loading the material and pressing the start button.

AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machine is able to drill 6 to 80 mm | 1/4” to 3-1/8” thickness within its own working area. Material is driven on the table with balls by fixing it with hydraulic clamping jaws. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.

The PCR42 robotic plasma-cutting machine can do beam coping, notches and holes, weld preps and split beams. Additionally, it can scribe plus marks on all four faces H-beams.

Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cuttinghead is an easy, inexpensive oxyfuel head. It utilizes oxygen as well as any fuel of your choosing, including propylene (acetylene), natural gas, and propane. These gases are cheap and readily available at your welding supplier. Welders experienced in hand torch cutting will easily set up the flow rates for the Oxy-Fuel as they are accustomed to.

Another drawback is that when cutting thicker areas of a part, even on light wide-flange beams, for instance the radius at the intersection of the web and the flange, it is typical for the flame to blow back, and this can and cause damage to the plasma head.

Multiple axis positioning allows top & bottom flanges of the same axis to be cut simultaneously. You can easily flange bevel in weld prep by using pivoting torches that are programmed to the miter position.

What are the 5 types of coping

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.

Multiple axis positioning enables top and/or bottom flanges are cut simultaneously. The pivoting torch can be used for flange shaping in preparation for welding.

Voortman inside service technicians often don’t need to be at your machine to solve a problem you may have. A common internet connection is all that is needed for the Voortman technician to operate your control as if he was standing with you at the machine. The Powerful Windows® based Siemens control used on Voortman equipment allows for this capability, and provides superior diagnostics via Windows® based platform.

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.
