Portable Beam Coping Machine
AutoCAD is and architectural software and works well for exporting flat 2-D pieces to plate processing machines. Where it falls short is in its ability to export files for 3-D shapes like beams, channel, angles etc. AutoCAD exports both DWG files and DXF files which are perfect for plates.
The Voortman beam and coping machine has very few moving components, which makes maintenance easy and affordable. Voortman has been designed for worldwide use and only uses parts from top manufacturers. The majority of components can be obtained locally. Voortman always has spare parts available for next-day delivery in the USA. We offer local service and support in almost all of our overseas destinations.
What Is T Beam And L BeamThe basic unit is semi-automatic, with oxy-fuel coping machines. The operator positions and finetunes the workpiece before it is cut. The laser can also be set up automatically to auto-probe and adjust the torch height. The basic unit has powered conveyors. Before cutting, the operator must manually measure and mark X on the feedstock. The optional laser measuring of the feedstock can also be used as an automated measurement system. The interface allows the operator input the material type to which they want to cut. The operator navigates through a variety of options by using the touch screen to see pictorial representations. The computer program includes all dimensions of structural steel AISC. A fully dimensioned deal drawing is displayed to simplify programming, save time and reduce operator input errors. The operator has the ability to modify or override the input. It can also be saved as an additional program, if needed. DSTV exported drawings can also be used to pre-programme your machine. An operator can use the wireless remote control to operate, start, stop and manage the equipment. The wireless remote control allows the operator to easily view the equipment from any angle that is needed to verify and maintain accuracy. Operator marks the material, moves the material in the right position and clamps it hydraulically to ensure that the material is cut correctly. The laser operator aligns the laser to the mark, then begins the process. The torch lightens and pre-heats the material. The operator initiates and finishes the cutting process, as long as he maintains the correct torch height.
Voortman and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. have a shared goal: to provide affordable, reliable CNC solutions which not only work but are also safe for your employees. The Voortman uses only the most advanced components and meets all safety standards.
It is obviously preferable to import files directly from your steel detailing software because it eliminates an unnecessary step and also eliminates possible incorrect data capture. There are two separate and distinct camps in this respect:
Voortman Technical Support Office is available round the clock and always happy to answer questions, regardless of how simple or difficult.
Voortman offers regularly scheduled training courses for all Voortman Ocean equipment in their Bradley Illinois facility. These courses are available for both new operators and retraining existing operators. Participants who have completed this course return to the shop motivated, educated and eager to improve productivity. Please contact us for more information and pricing.
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.
To move the steel through the Voortman's machine, the Voortman needs roller conveyors. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. provides a customized modular system for the machine. The modular system, called the Ocean Eliminator, features in-feed or out-feed powered roller conveyors as well as powered lift/carry cross transfers.
The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Beam Coping Machine has the lowest price in the world and is the result a strong and productive partnership with Voortman. Voortman is the largest manufacturer of structural steel fabrication machinery.
And most importantly, several large fabricators have upgraded from a 3-torch machine to an Voortman. That will tell you everything!
Voortman technicians can often work remotely from their computers to solve any problems you might have. Voortman technicians only need an internet connection to be able to use your control like he were there with you. Voortman equipment is equipped with a Powerful Windows (r)-based Siemens control, which allows for this capability. This platform also offers superior diagnostics.
The Voortman beam-coping machine is very easy to maintain and has very few moving parts. Voortman is a machine that can be used worldwide. It uses components from only major manufacturers. Most of these parts can be found in local markets. Voortman has all the parts in stock for next-day delivery to the USA. We offer support and service in most of our overseas locations.
Voortman CNC Beam Coper is made for fabricators and general shops that deal with all types steel profiles. You can determine if this machine meets your needs by answering the following questions:
Coping is a process that allows a beam to fit into other parts of a framework.
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.
What are some examples of coping strategies you might use? Avoidance, seeking support, drug and/or alcohol abuse, journaling and procrastination are all examples of coping strategies.
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.
Both can serve the same purpose. A coping saw can also be used for cutting thin pieces of metal, plastic or wood. A jigsaw is also useful.
