Cut
Voortman & Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. work together to offer reliable and affordable CNC solutions that will not only work but also be safe for your workers. The Voortman is constructed to the highest safety standards, using only the best components.
Another problem is that the flame can blow back when cutting thicker parts, even with light-wide-flange beams. This can cause damage to the plasma head.
Voortman can open DXF files, and can process 3-D shapes provided the steel is properly detailed. Some of these rules might not apply to what you are currently detailing. This may mean that some adjustments might be required. This is not as easy as using 3-D modeling software.
All of your 3D coping and profiling is made easier with us using our top of the range coping and profiling robot. These Robotic Coping and Profiling beams are not only reliable but are designed for capacities which include cutting saddles, chamlers and slots respectively.
Your operator will be trained in Peddimat. You might have customers who bring a few pieces to you.
Our office hours are 8am to 5pm Eastern Time. We are intimately familiar with all aspects of the machine and we welcome your technical support calls at any time during our business hours.
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.
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.
Voortman is able to import DXF files. They can be used to create 3-D shapes as long the steel has been detailed according to certain rules. You might need to adjust some of these rules to match the details you are currently using. This process may not be as seamless as 3-D modeling software.
The PCR42 robotic plasma cutting machine does beam coping, notches, holes and weld preps, splits beams, and scribes plus marks on all four faces of H-beams, channels, angles, HSS and plates.
Most importantly, many large fabricators have moved from a 3-torch to a Voortman. This will tell you all!
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam coping machines have a triple torch design that allows you to simultaneously cut two flanges. Flange thins can simultaneously be performed on top and bottom of flanges. However, weld preparation is done concurrently which reduces operating costs. The ABCM-1250 Ox-fuel Coper is a quick and easy way to cut near the flanges without having to torch probe.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. offers the assurance of robotic profiling and coping that are unsurpassed in the industry. Our high definition plasma technology system, capable of cutting through a wide array of metal profiles for structural steel and other metal pieces, is backed by our company.
The Voortman CNC Beam Coper was designed for fabricators and general jobs shops that have to deal with or notch all types of steel profiles. These questions will help you determine if the machine is right for you.
Miters do all the cutting. The hardest part of mitering is measuring accurately and cutting the molding to the right length. Handsaws are perfect for precise cuts and special techniques.
Continuous steel beams are made up of multiple beams, which are joined and supported by beams. This creates a strong, but flexible component for large-scale structures. Continuous beams can be used for bridges, multi-story buildings and complex roof structures.
A box beam made from aluminum or acrylics will last longer than an I-Beam. It is stronger and more solid in construction.
Both coping saws as well as jigsaws can cut curves or irregular shapes. Due to its shorter blade and faster speed, a jigsaw works better for cutting very irregular shapes or tight curves. For curved or circular curves, coping saws work better.
