Voortman’s 24 hour tech support center can resolve 90% of your support issues. An extensive network of 50+ Voortman personnel is stationed across North and South America.

Voortman is able to cut steel beams into copes much faster than your layoutman. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Line, and the Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line introduced affordable automation of angles and beams to small-to mid-sized fabricators. The Voortman brings automated beam coping to shops otherwise unimaginable.

Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has the assurance that their Robotic Coping and Profiling systems are second to none. They have a high definition plasma technology system that can cut through a wide variety of metal profiles.

Voortman software offers CAD for custom designs and CAM for nesting. The software can be used with virtually any design or profile, and there is no annual service contract.

Most importantly, many large fabricators have upgraded their 3-torch machines to a Voortman. This should tell you everything.

The WTD is back with extended dates, now giving visitors five days to visit our members’ extensive showrooms and see the latest new technology, including some North American premieres. No other show or single event offers you such a wide display of woodworking equipment, combined with impressive live demonstrations at each location.

AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machines are capable of drilling from 6 to 80mm and up to 1/4" to 3-1/8". Material is driven onto the table with balls, and then fixed with hydraulic clamping Jaws. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.

Beam Coping Machine Near Me

A CNC beam-coping machine is safer than using handheld torch. The machine can be operated remotely by the operator, which makes it possible to move the operator away from the cutting flame.

Bend-Tech Dragon A400 is a commercial grade CNC tube cutting, engraving, and marking machine. Combined with the world’s most powerful CAD/CAM software, Dragon A400 will get the job done with accuracy and speed.

Voortman has to use roller conveyors for moving the steel through his machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. makes a special modular system to fit the machine. This modular system, known as the Ocean Eliminator features infeed/outfeed powered roller conveyors as a well as powered lift/carry cross transfer.

Reducing man hours in steel fabrication is a major challenge. This tried-and-true technology is used worldwide by steel fabricators to increase shop capacity, and their efficiency.

The high quality and speed of plasma cutting heads make them very popular for cutting stainless steel. Plasma heads can't be moved close enough to the flange due to their size. This makes it impossible to use many types of copes normally required in beams.

We prefer to have the machine installed indoors. However, we do have several Voortman beam cooper installations outside. But the machine and its control panel should be protected from the elements. Contact us for photos of any of our outside installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Manufacturers limit beam lengths to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.

The blade is very thin so it works well with the pull. The steel frame's spring tension keeps the blade in place. This rigidity allows for the blade to move on both the upward and downward strokes, but it is only when the blade actually cuts that the blade cuts.

Install the coping saw blade with the teeth facing the handle. The coping saw cuts on the pull stroke, unlike a hacksaw which has the teeth facing away from the handle.

Coping saws, hand saws that have a distinctive U-shaped shape, are used to make curved cuts in thinner materials at home or in the shop.

Notching or coping is the act of joining two pieces of tubing together. This is a function of angles determined by the location of the tube.
