Bottom Flanges
The CNC Beam Coping Machine can be described as the most economical beam coper anywhere in the world. It's the result of a strong, productive collaboration between Voortman, the leading manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machine.
Although 90% of support issues can be resolved by Voortman’ 24 Hour Tech Support center, an expansive network of 50+ Voortman field service personnel are stationed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand.
The Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine uses oxy-fuel so the material thickness is completely irrelevant. Any material up to 6 inches can be handled.
Developed by Voortman, Raptor 3D CAD/CAM Software takes CNC innovation further by enabling users to program faster and more accurately. Inspect, modify and export part information directly within the 3D platform. This coupled with Voortman CNC technology means maximum capacity for fabricators.
The PCR42 robotic plasma-cutting machine can do beam coping, notches and holes, weld preps and split beams. Additionally, it can scribe plus marks on all four faces H-beams.
This machine is available for immediate delivery. Extra cost can be charged for training and installation by a factory-trained technician.
Voortman can do almost all kinds of structural steel fabrication. From shaping beams, plate to coping relieves and custom profiles. The CNC beam coping machines can be used to replace drill lines and band saws as well as layout and marking stations. Voortman is only one-man-operable. Voortman is a better choice for quality work, quicker turnarounds, and less waste.
METEOR-1200 reduces labor time. METEOR-1200 can drill beams of all shapes and sizes, including angles, flat sheet, and flat sheets. A state of the art control system can be used to make slots, pockets, or any other geometry.
With us at Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., there is an assurance that our Robotic Coping and Profiling is second to none in the industry with its high definition plasma technology system that is capable of cutting through a wide range of metal profiles for not only structural steel but other metal pieces.
These two features are engineered to improve cut precision, and they’re not found on all beam coping machines. However, they are included standard with Voortman.
A single torch CNC beam coping machine is a 5-axis machine that uses only one torch to do all the coping. When coping a beam, the single torch will start cutting at the web and then move on to the flanges. It moves from the web to each flange in sequence. The 5-axis torch is able to move in an almost infinite number of directions and positions, allowing the most complex of copes. The 5-axis torch and will accomplish double miter/bevel cuts on both flange and web – something that multi-torch systems are unable to do.
A triple torch or multiple torch CNC beam coping machine typically has three torches. Each torch can be dedicated to a web, flange, or torch. The single torch machine is more versatile than the existing triple torch machines, and can perform a greater number of cuts than the existing triple torch machines. Additionally, the average triple torch machine costs 3-4 times as much as our single torch CNC beam copier.
The Voortman uses a specially designed torch nozzle that will typically last about 3 – 6 months depending on how hot you run the machine. Because of the break-away head that deflects the torch nozzle, the torch nozzle is almost impossible to bend.However, the nozzles eventually get worn out due to the heat of the gases passing through the nozzle. Replacement torch tips are around $75 per tip.
To coping in the steel and plate manufacturing industry, it is the act of making relief cuts on the beam to make it fit with other parts. While you can do the coping with a handheld torch or a laser, many professional structural steel fabricators will use an automated beam coping machine to speed up production. Voortman knowledge is a huge advantage. This industry-leading CNC beam copier machine has many remarkable advantages.
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. Pro tip: Keep your eyes on the outside of the line.
A channel for rainwater is the primary purpose of coping. The coping prevents rainwater from seeping into walls by allowing it to drip down the walls. It also gives the wall an artistic look.
Douglas fir is perhaps the strongest of all wood beams. Although there may be a stronger wood, I don't know of any. Lumber mills today make beams in the same way as plywood. To make extremely strong structural engineered timbers, they use layers of solid wood that have been glued together.
H-Beams. H-beams are one of the strongest steel beams. It is composed of horizontal elements and the web by vertical beams. Popular in civil engineering and construction, the web and flanges create a cross section that is similar to the shape of the letter H.
Scroll saw blades are a bit thinner than coping saw blades and have finer teeth. Scroll saws are more suitable for delicate and intricate work. Coping saws, on the other hand, are slightly better for thicker materials that require less delicacy.
