Metal Fabrication
And most importantly, several large fabricators have upgraded from a 3-torch machine to an Voortman. That will tell you everything!
Hardened hydraulic jaws with piston allow for material fixing to avoid faults. AFD Flange and Plate Drilling Machine enables you to drill, tab and mill as well as mark with scribing and with dot. (optional).
Not every problem can be diagnosed with remote assistance. Mechanical issues or questions that require the human eye are still common. Voortman machines are shipped with high definition web cameras and software; allowing Voortman employees to directly experience the activity at the installation without the need to leave the office. The webcam has significant value in foreign countries or in situations where language might be a barrier to effectively communicate the issue.
Voortman has developed Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software. This software takes CNC innovation one step further. Users can program faster and more accurately with Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software. The 3D platform makes it easy to view, modify, and export information about parts. This combination with Voortman CNC technology ensures maximum productivity for fabricators.
The Voortman beam copier machine is very simple and has few moving parts. This makes maintenance very affordable. Voortman's components are sourced from the major manufacturers. Voortman stocks all parts for next day delivery in America. We offer local support in many of our overseas countries.
This safety mechanism ensures long tip and head life as well as significantly increasing up time to avoid costly torch tip changeovers and repairs.
We have used more than 1000 CNC beam lines and angles lines around the globe and have found that even if the operator has never programmed a machine before they can be productive on it in less than half an hour.
Roller conveyors are required by Voortman to move the steel around the machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has a custom-made modular system that is suitable for this machine. The Ocean Eliminator is a modular system that features in-feed and outside-feed powered roller conveyors. It also includes powered lift and carry cross transfers.
Voortman beam-coping machine comes equipped with long, durable, rigid torch tips that can be used to precisely position the machine within flanges. Additionally, the closed loop system allows for the torchhead's disengagement in the unlikely event that it comes into contact with an obstruction such as slag.
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutting machine features a triple torch design which allows simultaneous cutting of two different flanges. Flange thins on both the top and bottom end of the flanges are done simultaneously. This reduces operating expenses. The ABCM-1250 is an oxy-fuel coper that allows for easier near-flange cuts without lengthy torch probing.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machines should only be operated by someone who is proficient with using oxy-fuel. Although it is possible to train virtually any operator on the software part of the machine quickly, cutting with gas requires years of experience and skill.
Structural steel can be used to construct almost every type of structure, from buildings to bridges and ships. There are many variations in the designs of these structures. Steel beams need to be manufactured precisely to match blueprints. Steel beams must be cut to the correct size and thickness.
The PCR41 combines vision systems, robotics, and plasma torch technology. This innovative design offers you the best value, speed and precision that a robotic plasma cutter can provide.
These two features were created to improve the precision of cut, but they aren't found on every beam coping machine. Voortman has them included as standard.
When you are assembling a coping-saw, ensure that the teeth point towards the handle. The teeth will cut if you pull the saw rather than pushing it. This will improve accuracy and prevent your saw from breaking. It will also keep your wood from chipping.
To remove more wood from the back, angle the coping saw 30 degrees. Pro tip: Trimmings that have been cut with coping cuts can often leave thin, pointed tips. To prevent them from splintering, support the tips with your finger while you file, cut, or sand.
Price of 30 ft lvl beam: The average cost/price of LVL is $3-$12 per linear foot. For 30 ft. lvl beam price, 30x3 = $90, 30x12 = $360. This means that 30 ft. lVL beam, Laminated veneer lumber, or Engineered beam costs between $50 and $200 for materials, or between $90 and $360 for installation.
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.
Commonly, a coping saw can be used to cut appropriate designs for joining two surfaces. This tiny hand tool can make precise cuts to create inside joints that are professional-quality.
