We always recommend that your Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine operator is someone who really knows how to cut with oxy-fuel. We can train almost any operator very quickly on the software side of the machine, but the skill and experience of cutting with gas is something that is built up over years of cutting by hand.
The CNC Beam Coping Machine programming is simple, even when done manually. Programming of the CNC Beam Coping Machine is simple with Peddimat. Most operators are able to program most parts in less that an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best way is to program your machine from a CAD file. It's recommended that you use a 3-D modeling program such as ProSteel 3D, StruMis, Tekla Structures or SDS/2. These files can be directly imported into your machine. In certain cases, an operator might have to edit the program to ensure smooth cut. Once the lead has been created, the operator selects the part to be used and clicks on the Cycle Start button.
