Beam Coping Machine 80
The basic unit comprises a semiautomatic, oxyfuel-fuel coping system. The operator positions the piece, fine tunes it, cuts the material, and adjusts the torch height. A laser can be used to automatically set the torch height and probe the material. The basic unit also comes with powered conveyors. These allow the operator the ability to manually measure the length of the feedstock and mark it before cutting. There is an optional automated measuring device that uses laser to measure the feed stock. The operator can input the material to be cut through the interface. Operator scrolls through a number of options via pictorial representations displayed on the computer touch screen. The computer is programmed to display all the dimensions of AISC structural Steel. A fully dimensioned, dimensional cope drawing is available to facilitate programming and save time. Operators have the option to override or customize input and they can save it as a new programming program, if required. DSTV exported diagrams can also be used to program the machine. The wireless remote control allows the operator to turn on, off and operate the equipment. The operator can freely view the equipment at any angle that is necessary to verify operation and maintain accuracy. The operator marks the material, then moves it to a suitable position. Finally, he clamps the material hydraulically so that it can be cut. The operator aligns his laser to the mark and starts the cycle. The torch turns on, preheating and heating the material. The operator initiates the process of cutting and finishes it as long the torch height is maintained.
Voortman uses a torch nozzle specially made for him. It will usually last between 3 and 6 months, depending on how hot the machine is run. The torch nozzle can be bent almost impossible due to the breakaway head that redirects the torchnozzle. The heat from the gases that pass through the nozzle eventually causes the nozzles to wear out. For $75 each tip, you can get replacement torch tips.
Programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine is very simple and intuitive even for operators with no CNC or computer experience.
Voortman developed Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software, which takes CNC innovation to the next level by allowing users to program more quickly and accurately. The 3D platform allows you to inspect, modify, and export part information. This, combined with Voortman CNC technology, means maximum fabricator capacity.
Once you have created an AutoCAD DXF file, import it with the DXF Import Utility (optional).
METEOR-1200 reduces labor time. METEOR-1200 can drill beams of all shapes and sizes, including angles, flat sheet, and flat sheets. A state of the art control system can be used to make slots, pockets, or any other geometry.
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.
Structural steel can be used to construct almost every type of structure, from buildings to bridges and ships. There are many variations in the designs of these structures. Steel beams need to be manufactured precisely to match blueprints. Steel beams must be cut to the correct size and thickness.
AutoCAD is an architectural program that exports flat 2-D pieces of information to plate processing machines. It does not export files for 3-D forms such as beams and angles. AutoCAD exports DWG files and DXF file, which are ideal for plates.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine operators must be proficient in cutting with oxyfuel. While we can train any operator quickly on the machine's software side, the skills and experience required to cut with gas are acquired over many years.
Voortman’s Roller Feed Measuring System surpasses industry standards in roller measurement technology. Accuracy in measurement is vital to avoid any production delays. Even with material deviations, accuracy cannot be compromised.
METEOR-1200 has the ability to cut down on your labor, whether you are drilling or performing on-site assembly. METEOR-1200 has the ability to drill beams and angles, flat sheets, and other suitable geometry. With the state of art control system, you can also mill slots and pockets.
Because of their high quality and fast cutting speed, plasma heads are extremely popular for cutting steel. Plasma heads are too large to fit into the flange. Many of the copes required for beams are not possible because of this.
The Voortman comes standard with a 12-month parts-and labor warranty. Your Voortman Beam Coping Machine will be repaired by factory service technicians if it fails to work within the warranty period.
Reinforced concrete beams can be made by embedding steel bars along the lengths of structural members to increase their tensile strength. These beams are the most popular.
The beams are structural elements that move loads from the slab to columns. Transfer beams are used to transfer load from one load-bearing wall into another. They are usually horizontal members. A beam's purpose is to support walls and avoid concrete slab loading.
A continuous beam with two spans is the simplest statically undeterminate structure. It contains only one indeterminacy but it exhibits the basic characteristics of a statically uncertain structure.
Commonly, a coping saw can be used to cut appropriate designs for joining two surfaces. This tiny hand tool can make precise cuts to create inside joints that are professional-quality.
I-Beam. . . . This is the ultimate beam profile. It is extremely strong in the vertical direction and has an equal response to all other forces. It is the strongest profile in strength to weight (vertical), making it an excellent DIY beam profile for Cranes and main beams for long and large trailers.
