Beam Coping Machine

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.

Robotic Coping or Profiling is equivalent to an optimized fabrication procedure that has been designed to ease the lives of metalwork and fabricators. The system can operate various processes such as beam drill lines, angles lines, band saws, hydraulic punches, and ironworkers. This is an easy way to transform your fabrication process into a hundred.

Voortman's inside service technicians don't often need to be present at your machine in order to fix a problem. Voortman technicians can operate your control using an internet connection. Voortman equipment uses the Powerful Windows(r), Siemens control that allows for this capability. It also provides superior diagnostics via Windows(r).

Coping is a process used in structural steel and plate fabrication to make relief cuts in a beam to allow it to fit with other parts of the framework. Although you can coping with a torch handheld, professional structural steel fabricators use a beam-coping machine to increase precision and speed up their production. Voortman's industry-leading CNC beam-coping machine offers a unique advantage to those who know it.

Voortman uses a long torch nozzle that is specially designed to reach the inside of Flanges. These can be supplied in various sizes depending on what thickness of material needs to be cut. Also, torch tips are gas-specific, so please let us know what gas you are using.

We train every operator on how to operate the machine using Peddimat. This is because you may be faced with a situation where a customer has a couple pieces of steel that require holes or layout markings and you need to be able produce these quickly without causing any inconvenience to your detailing staff, who might be working on a larger project.

Hardened hydraulic jaws with piston allow for material fixing to avoid faults. AFD Flange and Plate Drilling Machine enables you to drill, tab and mill as well as mark with scribing and with dot. (optional).

Voortman can import DXF file and can use them for processing 3-D shapes, provided that the steel is detailed according specific rules. These rules may not be applicable to your current detailing and may require some adjustments. This process is not as smooth as the 3-D modeling software.

Dragon's front position gate is and chuck is easily adjustable, making it easy to load or set up materials of different shapes and sizes.

A global pandemic, natural disasters, material shortages—economic turbulence is an ever-present issue that professional fabricators must navigate to ensure a profitable business. When economic storms arise, a lot of structural steel fabrication companies take a lean manufacturing approach to keep operating costs low while still hitting their production goals. A key way to maintain costs.

Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cutting head is an inexpensive and simple oxy-fuel head. It uses oxygen and any fuel you choose, such as propane, acetylene or propylene. These gases are inexpensive and readily available from your welding supplier. Welders who are familiar with torch cutting will be able set the flow rates of the Oxyfuel just like they are used too.

Once you have created an AutoCAD DXF file, import it with the DXF Import Utility (optional).

This profile-cutting machine can easily cut almost any drawing you can think of. This machine can not only cope but it can also cut to length!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Douglas fir is perhaps the strongest of all wood beams. Although there may be a stronger wood, I don't know of any. Lumber mills today make beams in the same way as plywood. To make extremely strong structural engineered timbers, they use layers of solid wood that have been glued together.

To remove more wood from the back, angle the coping saw 30 degrees. Pro tip: Trimmings that have been cut with coping cuts can often leave thin, pointed tips. To prevent them from splintering, support the tips with your finger while you file, cut, or sand.

A 10-foot I-beam of steel will cost $60-$180, while a 40 foot beam will cost between $240-$720.

The ideal thickness for aluminum copings According to architectural fabrication manuals, a thickness of 2.00mm is recommended for coping widths of up to 550mm and 3.00mm for those that exceed 650mm. These are only guidelines.
