Robot Coping Machine Empire

The PCR41 plasma drilling machine was designed to combine as many fabrication functions into one machine as possible. The PCR41 can produce finished parts at very low manufacturing costs. The machine automates all common cutting operations and structural steel.

Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has been a market leader in 3D Pipe Profiling for over 35 years. It was the first company to provide a robot beam profiling system with reliable capabilities cutting all types of saddles, chamfers & slots. This machine is called the RPC 1200 Mk3. We fulfilled a long-standing demand by introducing a beam cutting machine that can profile beams. Angle bars, channel, square pipes, as well plates, T bars and bulbs.

VACAM determines the best route to achieve the highest efficiency based on customer preferences, production available, and MSI-line machinery. MSI is the process of moving semi-finished and raw products from one machine to another. MSI stands to represent one integrated production system. With VACAM, Voortman’s proprietary CNC control software, you can monitor and track every profile, product, and future plan in real-time.

Our robotic coping machines can cut seismic design connections (like "dog bone" and "slotted web"), rat holes and copes at the beginning and end of products, holes in any size or shape, block outs, weld preparations and bevels.

Highly skilled and experienced fabricators must be able to handle manual setups and layouts. Low-skilled partners could cause costly mistakes and lower quality work that will cost more than working with a CNC operator.

The PCR41 is a revolutionary design that combines robots, vision systems, and plasma torch tech to offer the best combination speed, accuracy, and 4-face operation to cut structural steel.

Coping is the most versatile process. A robotic plasma processor is capable of providing an all-in-one solution. With a plasma unit or robot, you can process any number of things: rat holes, seismic design connections such as jay-allan, "dog bone" cuts and copes at the product's trail end.

The V808 roller-feed measurement and clamping system locks profiles and keeps them in the same exact place throughout processing. The fully automated measuring roller feed system saves time and money by not requiring a pusher or gripper before returning home to load the next piece. Voortman’s roller feed system is fully automated within a standard range for profile processing. Voortman’s automated in-feed crossing transports provide enough stability and support so that beams of up to 15.000kg (33,000 lbs) can be properly positioned and processed.
