Robotic Coping Machine Accident

Steel beams, tubes and pipes are often required to be coping in order to fit within an assembly. These assemblies often have to fit together irregular-shaped parts and angles such as handrails and car bumpers or racecar roll cages. Coping allows all parts to fit into their respective settings, regardless of size or shape.

AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machine can drill from 6 to 80mm, 1/4" to 3-1/8", within its own work area. Material is fixed to the table using hydraulic clamping jaws by driving it on balls. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.

Voortman v808 does not need to be trimmed with every nesting product. The V808 can reduce scrap to a minimum, which is a time-saving option. This is because the last cut of one product is also the cut of the next. The V808 can import DSTV+ and VACAM files. VACAM's beam-nesting module allows continuous nesting to ensure that you get the best product from every stock length.

We pride ourselves on making fabrication tasks simple and efficient. The Robotic Coping and Profiling beam is designed to handle both square tubes and angle bars. It can also process pipes, T bars, plates, and bulbs. You can do anything you want with our Coping and Profiling Robots. The quality of its outputs is unmatched. These outputs can include H, I andT beams, U, and L channels, respectively.

FAST PROFILE MESSURINGThe Voortman TL-1800G3 coping Robot is compatible with the Voortman v808 robotic thermal cutter machine. The measuring sensor fitted to the torch nozzle of this robot allows for precise measurement of profile dimensions. To ensure the best result possible, the difference between the actual and theoretical profile dimensions is compensated during the cutting process. To save time, the robot only measures the sides to be cut.

FUTURE EXPANSION? The VoortmanV808 is the ideal foundation for future expansion capabilities. Voortman machines including the V808 use the standard VACAM control system, which allows them to communicate the same language. You can combine the V808 with other Voortman equipment to create a fully integrated and automated production system. Also known as Multi System Integration, it is possible to add more capacity as you grow your company.

Our in-house developed VACAM software is known for its high performance regarding automated material handling and buffer management. Active buffer management secures a priority position for the first profile in line while buffering following profiles. By continuously shifting profiles toward the datum line, new profiles can be loaded onto the handling system where the datum line is always provided with material. This significantly increases your productivity and efficiency, since machines are not waiting in idle mode for a next profile or production batch.

Voortman sets up safety measures after a machine is installed or a production line. These safety measures include light curtains, emergency cords, and emergency stop buttons. Voortman made it a priority to provide a safe production line and not stop production if an operator has to enter the safe zone. By using gated light curtains that allow loading and unloading of machines while they continue processing, and by providing remote controls with a kill switch so operators can perform tasks within the safety zone, this is possible.
