Cnc Pipe Cutting
Voortman has the ability to handle almost every type of structural metal fabrication, including shaping beams and plate, as well as coping reliefs. The CNC beam coping machine, which is state-of–the-art, can replace all the tools in your shop. Voortman's benefits include faster turnarounds, better quality and less waste.
Structural Steel is used for the construction of nearly every type of structure including bridges and buildings. The designs of these structures are subject to considerable variation. Steel beams must meet exact specifications as outlined in blueprints. Steel beams need to be cut to the proper size and thickness.
APC 1200 can be upgraded to the full extent of the base unit. It can do both oxy-fuel and combination plasma cutting, with both torches mounted upon a pivoting base. They can flip between the two via computer control in a matter of seconds. The Plasma is the main tool used by the machine to maximize its efficiency. It can automatically switch to Oxy Fuel when the thickness of the material exceeds the Plasma's cutting capacity. This upgraded unit also includes the laser probing feature for height adjustment.
Dragon's front gate and chuck are easily adjustable. This makes it easy to load and set up different sizes and shapes of materials.
The PCR41 is a unique design that combines vision systems, robotics and plasma torch technology. It offers the best combination value, speed, precision and 4-face operation for cutting structural steel.
The Voortman Technical Support Office is open 24 hours a day, and is always ready to answer your questions, no matter how simple or complicated.
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.
Voortman offers regularly scheduled training courses for all Voortman Ocean equipment in their Bradley Illinois facility. These courses are available for both new operators and retraining existing operators. Participants who have completed this course return to the shop motivated, educated and eager to improve productivity. Please contact us for more information and pricing.
We prefer to have the machine installed indoors. However, we do have several Voortman beam cooper installations outside. But the machine and its control panel should be protected from the elements. Contact us for photos of any of our outside installations.
We train every operator on how to operate the machine using Peddimat. This is because you may be faced with a situation where a customer has a couple pieces of steel that require holes or layout markings and you need to be able produce these quickly without causing any inconvenience to your detailing staff, who might be working on a larger project.
With Voortman, a profile of the cope can be uploaded to the CNC software from the built-in shape library or CAD. The user-friendly interface will then allow you to manually calibrate cutting tolerances, nest parts for coping, and track robotic cutting paths before the work begins so that any mistakes can be avoided. Then, the material simply needs to be loaded and the start button pressed for Voortman to begin coping with perfection.
Your operator will be trained in Peddimat. You might have customers who bring a few pieces to you.
Voortman can handle nearly every type of structural steel fabrication, from shaping beams and plate to coping reliefs and custom profiles. In fact, this state-of-the-art CNC beam coping machine can replace the punches, drill lines, band saws, coping and grinding stations, and layout and marking stations in your shop, freeing up valuable space and allowing you to maintain a lean workforce—Voortman requires only one technician to operate. The benefits of Voortman are many and include better quality work, faster turnarounds, and reduced waste.
The Voortman comes supplied with a 12-month parts & labor on-site warranty. Factory service technicians will make sure your Voortman Beam Coping Machine is up and running in no time.
1- T beams have a greater second moment inertia than ordinary beams. This means they are more resistant to bending.
Continuous: A beam that extends over more than two supports. Cantilever: A beam that projects from one end and is fixed at the other. The support on the opposite end of the beam is not needed. We will examine some classic beam loading examples. This simple beam has two supports and a centre load.
Coping is an architectural term that refers to the top course masonry used to "cape" an exterior wall's top. Coping can be sloped or curved to divert water away.
Coping Saw Coping Saws are handsaws that can cut extremely tight curves in thin stock like trim molding. They can be used to cut outside (from the edge), on stock up to two or three inches thick.
