Although we would prefer the machine to remain indoors, many Voortman beam coper installation are outside. However, the machine must be protected from the elements. To see photos from our many outside installations, please feel free to contact me.
".. In the two-and-a half years that we have had a Voortman, both the efficiency and the quality of our product preparation has been greatly improved. The past process of weld preparation and handling was time-consuming. Manually burning and laying out the material left much to be desired. The Liberator makes it much easier to burn, and reduces grind time. The Liberator is small and compact, but it delivers great results. Ocean has allowed us to save both time and energy. This allows us to make more money, and also ensures that our customers receive a high-quality product.
Voortman's 24-hour tech support can resolve 90%, but there is an extensive network of 50+ Voortman service personnel who are stationed in North and South America as well as Europe, Africa and Asia.
For those who may have questions as to the standards of our Robotic coping and profiling machine, we can confidently say that ours has scaled the most vital fabrication tests successfully; hardness, surface texture, beam flange weld access hole quality, bolt hole sizing, positioning and perpendicularity. As always, we have through our stocking made available the Voortman CNC coping and profiling machine, which is designed to an exceptional standard just for you, hence its outstanding capacities.
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.
This highly versatile profile cutting machine can cut just about anything you can draw. It not only handles, but can be cut to any length.
Our office hours range from 8am - 5pm Eastern Time. We are very familiar with the machine, and welcome any technical support calls during normal business hours.
It is an amazingly economical 5-axis CNC robotic oxy-fuel cutting beam coper that will enable you to make any type of cut on beams, channels, angels, plates, and rectangular tubes. Literally anything that you can draw, can be cut by this superbly versatile profile cutting machine. Not only does it cope, but it cuts to length too!

The high quality and speed of plasma cutting heads make them very popular for cutting stainless steel. Plasma heads can't be moved close enough to the flange due to their size. This makes it impossible to use many types of copes normally required in beams.
Structural steel is used in the construction of just about every kind of structure, including buildings, bridges, and ships. And, of course, designs of these structures can vary greatly. To precisely match specifications outlined in blueprints, steel beams must be fabricated to perfection. In addition to being cut to size and thickness, steel beams often.
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.
Of course, the most important reason is price. High-carcinogenic dust from plasma cutting must be collected in a dust extraction filtering unit. The price of fully enclosing the machine to evacuate dust is much higher than what a typical fabricator can afford for a beam handling solution.
Steel is stronger than wood pound for pound. It's amazing to see how engineered wood beams have evolved over the past 40-years.
There are several types of beam structures Continuous beams. Continuous beams are those that have two or more supports to reinforce the beam. ... Simply supported beams Simply supported beams have support at one end and both ends. ... Fixed beams ... Overhanging beams. ... Cantilever beam.
Install the coping saw blade with the teeth facing the handle. The coping saw cuts on the pull stroke, unlike a hacksaw which has the teeth facing away from the handle.
A coping saw, a type of bow-saw used to cut intricate exterior shapes and interior cuts in woodworking or carpentry, is referred to as a 'combo saw'. It is used for cutting moldings that create mitre or cope joints.
Preheat the I-beam using the torch flame. To start cutting, grab the torch trigger and hold it. Holding the torch trigger, point it at the outer edge to cut along the line. You can stop if necessary and then continue where you left off.
