Developed by Voortman, Raptor 3D CAD/CAM Software takes CNC innovation further by enabling users to program faster and more accurately. Inspect, modify and export part information directly within the 3D platform. This coupled with Voortman CNC technology means maximum capacity for fabricators.

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.

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.
