Beam Coping Machine Benefits
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
FANUC's robotic arm can be angled 360 degrees. This allows it to quickly and easily cut any shape or profile required for coping beams. This versatility is coupled with the superior power and flexibility of Hypertherm-X-Definition Plasma.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine makes use of oxyfuel. This means that any material with a thickness of 6'' or more can be dealt with.
1- T beams have a greater second moment inertia than ordinary beams. This means they are more resistant to bending.
Maximum stress is found at the beam's surface farthest away from the neutral axis. This is known as "maximum surface stress", and it is usually represented by the sigma symbol.
Concrete beam concrete is one of the most popular types of beam material. Concrete beams can withstand high loads and strong forces. Concrete beams are used mainly in commercial construction. Concrete structural beams can also be used to support bridges and highways.
Douglas fir is perhaps the strongest of all wood beams. Although there may be a stronger wood, I don't know of any. Lumber mills today make beams in the same way as plywood. To make extremely strong structural engineered timbers, they use layers of solid wood that have been glued together.
The H beam's cross section is more robust than that of the I beam. This means it can support a heavier load. The cross section of the H beam, on the other hand, can only bear direct load and tensile. However, it cannot resist twisting due to its narrow cross section. It can only bear force in one direction.
