How do you increase the strength of a beam
Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cuttinghead is an easy, inexpensive oxyfuel head. It utilizes oxygen as well as any fuel of your choosing, including propylene (acetylene), natural gas, and propane. These gases are cheap and readily available at your welding supplier. Welders experienced in hand torch cutting will easily set up the flow rates for the Oxy-Fuel as they are accustomed to.
Voortman manufactures machines exclusively for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. so that they can meet our stringent specifications. Voortman focuses on the larger fabricators. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. focuses on small to medium size fabricators. Voortman is a machine builder for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has become Voortman’s largest client worldwide.
Software that falls in this camp includes X-Steel, SDS/2, Tekla Structures, StruCAD, DetailCAD, BOCAD, SteelCAD, ProSteel 3-D etc. All these 3-D modeling programs export the DSTV file that is seamlessly imported into the Voortman.
Because of the speed and quality of their cuts, plasma heads are very popular in cutting steel. The plasma head is too big to reach the flange. Also, many of the types of copes that are required in beams cannot be done with the plasma head.
With the ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutter, you can achieve mitering and straight cutting to new heights. Use the ABCM-1250 CNC beam coping machine to quickly and easily connect with Voortman's automaticsawing systems or separate beams.
A factory trained service technician will spend around 5 days on-site installing your machine and calibrating it. This will give you hands-on training, troubleshooting, and diagnostics.
Voortman makes it easy to upload a model of the cope to the CNC program from either the builtin shape library (CAD) or the shape library. The interface is user-friendly and allows you to manually calibrate cutting tolerances, nest pieces for coping, track robotic cutting paths, and even avoid mistakes. Voortman is ready to get to work. All that's required is to load the material and press the start button.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is confident that its Robotic Coping and Profiling technology is unmatched in the industry. This plasma technology system can be used to cut through a wide range metal profiles.

This machine is so versatile that it can cut practically any type of drawing. It cuts to any length, and it does not only do the job.
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.
