Voortman uses an extremely durable torch nozzle. This varies with how hot it is. It is nearly impossible to bend the torchnozzle due to its break-away head, which deflects the torchnozzle. But, eventually the nozzles will wear down due to heat from the gases passing through them. Replacement torch tips cost around $75 per tip.
Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cuttinghead is an easy, inexpensive oxyfuel head. It utilizes oxygen as well as any fuel of your choosing, including propylene (acetylene), natural gas, and propane. These gases are cheap and readily available at your welding supplier. Welders experienced in hand torch cutting will easily set up the flow rates for the Oxy-Fuel as they are accustomed to.
The FANUC robotic arm has six axes and can bevel 360 degrees, making short work of any shape or profile needed for coping beams, plates, and even pipes—hydraulic clamps prevent round materials from rotating during processing. This versatility is paired with the superior power of Hypertherm X-Definition plasma.
This safety feature ensures long head and tip life, as well as greatly increasing the time it takes to prevent costly torch tip repairs and changeovers.
Your detailer will then provide you with a DWG/PLT/PDF file that you can use to print your drawings or plot them. The detailer will also provide you with the NC1 and NC2 files you will use to import into your computer. Voortman has the DSTV Import function.
Using a CNC beam coping machine is actually safer than using a handheld torch. The operator is able to operate the machine remotely and this moves the operator further removed from the cutting flame.
Programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine takes little to no time and is intuitive for even those who don't have any previous experience with computers or CNC.

A 5-axis single torch CNC beam-coping machine is a machine that uses only one torch for all coping. One torch can be used to cope a beam. The torch will cut the web, then move on the flanges. It moves from one end of the web to the other in a sequential fashion. The 5-axis torch can move in an almost unlimited number of directions and places, making it possible for even the most difficult of jobs. The 5-axis torch allows for double miter/bevel cut on both flanges and web, something that multi-torch units are unable to do.
Hardened hydraulic jaws with piston helps to fix material to prevent faults. AFD Flange and Plate Drilling Machine is able to drill, tab, mill, mark with scribing and mark with dot.(optional).
It is difficult to reduce the number of hours spent on steel fabrication. To increase their shop capacity or efficiency, fabricators worldwide use this tried-and-trued technology.
Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line, Voortman CNC Beam Drill Line, and Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line made it possible to automate beams and angles at a reasonable cost for the small-tomedium fabricator. Now the Voortman Liberty allows automated beam handling in shops that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.
The unbeatable combination of efficiency and speed is achieved by three torchers for simultaneous oxyfuel cutting. The ABCM-1250 CNC beam-coping machine is capable of miter cutting as well as beveled welding preparation on both the top and bottom. It also features automatic torch ignition.
The Voortman CNC Beam Coper is designed specifically for fabricators and general job shops that need to cope or notch steel profiles of all types. Consider the following questions and determine if this machine fits your needs:
Coping is a process that allows a beam to fit into other parts of a framework.
Avoiding problems is one of the most popular unhealthy coping strategies. ... Too much sleep. ... Excessive use of drugs or alcohol. Impulsive spending. ... Eating too much or not enough.
In many types of structures, material strength is more important than weight. I-beams, which look like a capital "I", in cross-section, are often used in bridges and buildings. Although it is lighter and heavier than a regular beam, an I-beam is almost as strong and rigid.
A 10-foot I-beam of steel will cost $60-$180, while a 40 foot beam will cost between $240-$720.
Fret Saws are also known as Jeweler's Saws. They are smaller than Coping Saws. They have shorter blades and are designed for maneuverability and quick turns. They can be used for metal work and woodwork if the blade is right.
