Beam Coping Machine Details

This single torch CNC beam coper removes the need for manually laying out your copes, and ensures that copes are done neatly and accurately, direct from your CNC detail drawings.

Reduced man hours are a key challenge in the highly competitive steel fabrication industry. This proven technology is used by metal fabricators all over the globe to increase their shop's capacity and efficiency.

Multi-torch or triple torch CNC beam copier machines usually have three torches. Each torch is dedicated for a web or flange. The triple torch machine takes less time to position than the single torch machine. However, the single torch can make a lot more cuts due to the 5-axis movement and versatility of its cutting head. A majority of triple torch machines are 3-4 times more expensive than our single torch CNC beam-coping machine.

The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Beam Coping Machine, which is the best-selling beam coper in the market, is the result a strong collaboration with Voortman (the number one structural steel fabricating machine manufacturer).

The Voortman CNC Beam Coper is very simple to operate and most of our operators were the men doing layout on the floor. No prior computer knowledge is necessary, and full training is provided at the time of the installation.

The PCR41 is an innovative design that combines robotics, vision systems and plasma torch technology to bring you the best combination of value, speed, precision, and 4-face operation to cutting structural steel that a robotic plasma cutter can offer.

Of course, the most important reason is price. High-carcinogenic dust from plasma cutting must be collected in a dust extraction filtering unit. The price of fully enclosing the machine to evacuate dust is much higher than what a typical fabricator can afford for a beam handling solution.

The programming of the CNC Beam Coping Machine can be done even if it is not done manually. The machine programming software, Peddimat, is very easy to use and most operators can program most parts within an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best way to program the machine, however, is to import parts from a CAD drawing, preferably created in 3-D modeling software like ProSteel 3D or StruMis. These files can be imported directly into the machine. Sometimes, the operator may need to edit the part programme to create a lead-out to ensure smooth cutting. Then he selects the part and presses the Cycle Start button.

Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated, highly trained and eager to improve their productivity. Call for pricing and details.

Although we prefer the machine to be installed indoors, there are several Voortman beam copier installations outside. The machine and control panel must have adequate weather protection. For photos of many of our outdoor installations, please contact us.

How To Calculate Beam Stress

The CNC Beam Coping Machine has the lowest price beam coper in the universe and was developed through a productive partnership with Voortman. Voortman is the largest manufacturer of structural steel fabrication machinery.

Voortman designs machines to meet our strict specifications. Voortman focuses on larger fabricators while Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is a machine manufacturer that targets small-medium fabricators. Voortman has been building machines in Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s shop for over 10 years. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is Voortman's biggest customer.

Flame Cutting

In the structural steel and plate fabrication industry, coping refers to the process of making relief cuts in the beam so that it will fit with other components of the framework. While coping can be done with a handheld torch, a lot of professional structural steel fabricators will use a beam coping machine to improve precision and speed up production. In fact, those who are in the know about Voortman have a distinct advantage over competitors thanks to the remarkable benefits this industry-leading CNC beam coping machine delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lightweight coping saws have a thin blade that is ideal for cutting intricate shapes and curves. Although coping saws can be easy to use, they can be intimidating.

A box beam made from aluminum or acrylics will last longer than an I-Beam. It is stronger and more solid in construction.

Continuous: A beam that extends over more than two supports. Cantilever: A beam that projects from one end and is fixed at the other. The support on the opposite end of the beam is not needed. We will examine some classic beam loading examples. This simple beam has two supports and a centre load.

1- T beams have a greater second moment inertia than ordinary beams. This means they are more resistant to bending.

Oscillating Power Tool. Coping is the best choice for any corners in the room. A coping saw could be used to accomplish the task, but an oscillating power instrument could make it easier.
