Beam Coping Machine Birmingham
AKYAPAK once more offers an innovative solution to steel construction. High speed and high processing with AFDs up at 1000x1500 mm. (40"x60") Materials
Multiple torch or triple torch CNC beam coping machines typically have three torches, and each torch is dedicated to a flange or web. Even though there is less positioning time with the triple torch machine than there is with the single torch machine, the single torch machine can do a lot more cuts than the EXISTING triple torch machines due to the versatility of the 5-axis movement of the cutting head. In addition, most triple torch machines cost 3-4 times more than our single torch CNC beam coping machine.
Voortman uses roller conveyors to move steel through the machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. offers a modular system specifically designed for this machine. This modular system is known as the Ocean Eliminator. It features infeed and outfeed powered roller conveyors and powered lift and cross transfers.
Once you have created a DXF IMPORT COMPLIANT AutoCAD file, you then import it via the DXF-Import Utility (optional purchase)
AutoCAD is an architectural tool that allows you to export flat 2-D shapes to plate processing machines. Its inability to export 3-D shapes, such beams, channels and angles, is where it falls short. AutoCAD exports DWG and DXF DWG files which are great for creating plates.
Our office hours run from 8am to 5pm Eastern Time. We are experts in all aspects of the machine. We welcome technical support calls anytime during our business hours.
Voortman CNC Beam Coper works very well and was used by most of our floor operators. The installation requires no prior computer knowledge.
Dragon's front-position gate and chuck can be easily adjusted, making it simple to set up and load different materials and shapes.
In the same way that the Voortman CNC Beam Drill Line and the Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line brought affordable automation of beams and angles to the small-to-medium fabricator, the Voortman Liberator similarly brings automated beam coping into shops that otherwise could never have considered it.
“..the time the Liberator saves us for cutting the beam itself, you add on top of that the time it saves us fitting 2 pieces together so accurately that no trimming or additional work is required. In regard to welding, we are not filling gaps anymore. We save time in both the fitting and welding of the structure. Beyond that the amount of grey hair I have saved from having the Liberator do my work, as far as I am concerned is PRICELESS!”
A CNC beam coping tool is safer than a handheld torch. The machine can also be controlled remotely from the operator. This allows him to stay further away than the flame.
This CNC beam coper with single torch eliminates the need for manual laying of your copes. Instead, it makes sure that your CNC detail drawings are accurate and precise and your copes are completed neatly.
The Voortman is supplied with a 12 months parts and labor on-site warranty. If your Voortman Beam Coping Machine breaks down during the warranty period, factory service technicians will get your machine up and producing in the shortest amount of time possible, at no cost to you.
The process of making relief cuts to the beam in order for it to fit into other parts of a framework is called coping. A handheld torch can be used to coping, but professional structural steel fabricators prefer to use a beam coping device to speed up production and improve precision. Voortman is an industry-leading CNC beam cutter that gives you a significant advantage over your competitors.
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.
