I-robots
We will work with you to find a solution to any problem you may face, including integration into an existing production line or outside loading and roll conveyors. The machine housing houses the roller-feed measuring system. This gives you complete flexibility for expansion and planning in your workshop. As your business grows, you can start small and expand the machine later with automated logistics. Voortman machines can be expanded with your company without adding labor costs.
Mac-Tech offers a wide range of machines for the metal fabrication industry, including beam drilling and robotic plasma cutters. Some of our structural steel cutting machines or CNC beam drilling machinery may do more than the PCR41 and PCR42, but you can be sure that each piece of steel fabrication machinery we list here will satisfy your structural beam coping, drilling, and other needs.
The AKD angle punching, shearing & marking line is the perfect solution if your business plan calls for reducing production time.
Robotic Coping and Profiling can make your fabrication process more efficient. This system has been specifically designed for metalwork and fabricators. It is able to work with angle lines, beam drilllines, hydraulic punches, ironworkers as well as band saws, band saws, and coping machines. This is a great way to improve your fabrication processes by taking them from zero to one hundred.
The PCR42 robotic Plasma Cutting Machine does beam coping. Notches, holes and welding preps are performed. Split beams can also be split. Scribes can be used to mark all four faces of H beams, channels, angles, HSS or plates.
Hardened hydraulic jaws with piston allow for material fixing to avoid faults. AFD Flange and Plate Drilling Machines are able to drill and tab, mill and mark with dots. (optional).
To integrate the machine to an MSI beam line, full automatic profile transport can be provided. Our/The VACAM software controls sensors drag-dogs and liftables for transporting profiles onto and off the outfeed roller conveyor. Select products will automatically be made from the trading lengths. Cross-transports can handle multiple profiles. The machine can operate independently for a considerable time.
After installing a machine or production line, Voortman installs a net of safety measures. These safety measures comprise of light curtains, emergency cords and emergency stop buttons. Voortman has made it one of its priorities to deliver a safe production line, yet not hold up production if the operator needs to enter the safe zone. This is accomplished by using gated light curtains allowing loading and unloading while the machines continue processing, and by delivering remote controls with a kill switch that operators can use when carrying out tasks inside the safety zone.
Rat holes and seismic structural design connections (jayallan/dog bone connections), copes near the trail end of a products, blockouts, holes in all shapes and sizes, weld preparations, marking on each side and many other things! Voortman’s V808 has the best versatility on the market, as it can process all sides of the material with just one robot. The software does not require any programming.
With us at Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., there is an assurance that our Robotic Coping and Profiling is second to none in the industry with its high definition plasma technology system that is capable of cutting through a wide range of metal profiles for not only structural steel but other metal pieces.
We take pride in making fabrication tasks as seamless and efficient as possible. Therefore, this Robotic coping/profiler beam is available. It can be used to cut angle bars and channels, square tubes, as well pipes, T bars and plates. Because it is an efficient tooling platform, our Coping/Profiling Robot is unmatched in its ability to perform many functions on your profile/pipe cuts. These outputs are H, I, T beams and U channels respectively.
Copping is the most versatile of all applications. A robotic plasma process is capable of offering an "all in one" solution. You can process all types of material with a plasma unit as well as a robot: block outs, rat holes, and seismic structural design connections like jay allan and "dogbone" cuts.
If you want to save time in your business, then the AKD Angle Punching, Shearing & Marking Line may be the answer.
FAST PROFILE MEASURINGThe Voortman V808 robotic thermal cutting machine is equipped with the fast, accurate and versatile Panasonic TL-1800G3 coping robot. The torch nozzle of the robot is fitted with a measuring sensor to measure the exact profile dimensions. The difference between actual measured profile dimensions and theoretical dimensions are compensated during the cutting process to ensure the most accurate result possible. To save time, the coping robot only measures the sides of the profile that will actually be processed.
A beam made from a stiffer, stronger material will produce a beam that's stronger and more rigid. The material property that is measured in terms of stiffness is known as "Youngs Modulus Elasticity".
H-Beams. H-beams are one of the strongest steel beams. It is composed of horizontal elements and the web by vertical beams. Popular in civil engineering and construction, the web and flanges create a cross section that is similar to the shape of the letter H.
Miters do all the cutting. The hardest part of mitering is measuring accurately and cutting the molding to the right length. Handsaws are perfect for precise cuts and special techniques.
In many types of structures, material strength is more important than weight. I-beams, which look like a capital "I", in cross-section, are often used in bridges and buildings. Although it is lighter and heavier than a regular beam, an I-beam is almost as strong and rigid.
Reinforced concrete beams can be made by embedding steel bars along the lengths of structural members to increase their tensile strength. These beams are the most popular.
