Cnc Cutting

Steel Beam Vs Wood Beam Cost

These two features are designed to increase the accuracy of cuts and are not present on all beam-coping machines. Voortman does include them.

Voortman can make the steel beams’ copes cut faster than your layoutman. Voortman CNC Angle Line and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line both brought automation of beams and angles at an affordable price to small-to–medium fabricators. Voortman does the same.

Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine makes use of oxyfuel. This means that any material with a thickness of 6'' or more can be dealt with.

Beam Coping Machine 001

Beam Coping Machine 001

This single torch CNC beam coper removes the need for manually laying out your copes, and ensures that copes are done neatly and accurately, direct from your CNC detail drawings.

The programming of the CNC Beam Coping Machine can be done even if it is not done manually. The machine programming software, Peddimat, is very easy to use and most operators can program most parts within an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best way to program the machine, however, is to import parts from a CAD drawing, preferably created in 3-D modeling software like ProSteel 3D or StruMis. These files can be imported directly into the machine. Sometimes, the operator may need to edit the part programme to create a lead-out to ensure smooth cutting. Then he selects the part and presses the Cycle Start button.

The basic unit is a semi-automatic, oxy-fuel coping machine. The operator positions the workpiece, finetunes it, starts the cut and adjusts the torch height while cutting. (There is an automated option for a laser to auto probe and set the torch height.) The basic unit comes with powered conveyors where the operator manually measures and marks the X length on the feed stock prior to cutting. (There is also an optional automated measuring system via Laser measuring of the feed stock.) The interface allows the operator to input material type to be cut. The operator scrolls through a list of options via pictorial representations on the computer touch screen. The computer is programmed with all the AISC structural steel dimensions. A fully dimensioned cope drawing is displayed simplifying programing, saving time and minimizing operator input error. The operator can override and customize the input as needed, and it can be stored as a new program, if desired. The machine can also be pre-programmed from the office through DSTV exported drawings. There is a wireless remote control that the operator uses to start, stop and operate the equipment. This allows the Operator to freely walk around viewing from any angle needed to verify operations and maintain accuracy. The operator makes his mark on the material, moves the material into position, and hydraulically clamps the material to be cut into place. The operator lines the laser to the mark and begins the cycle. The torch ignites, pre-heating the material. The operator manually initiates the cutting process and finishes the cut as he maintains the proper torch height.

Voortman offers regular training courses on all Voortman and Ocean equipment at their facility in Bradley Illinois. These courses are suitable for new operators and for refreshing existing operators. Employees that pass through this facility return to your shop highly trained, motivated and eager to improve your productivity. Please call for details and pricing.

The Voortman CNC Beam Coper can be used by fabricators or general job shops to cut and notch different types of steel profiles. The following questions can help you decide if this machine is the right one for your needs.

Voortman uses a torch nozzle specially made for him. It will usually last between 3 and 6 months, depending on how hot the machine is run. The torch nozzle can be bent almost impossible due to the breakaway head that redirects the torchnozzle. The heat from the gases that pass through the nozzle eventually causes the nozzles to wear out. For $75 each tip, you can get replacement torch tips.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coping Saw Coping Saws are handsaws that can cut extremely tight curves in thin stock like trim molding. They can be used to cut outside (from the edge), on stock up to two or three inches thick.

Cladding is usually made up of thin slabs of about 3cm thickness with a front finish and placed on the walls. Copings come in different thicknesses and are located at the top of walls.

Lightweight coping saws have a thin blade that is ideal for cutting intricate shapes and curves. Although coping saws can be easy to use, they can be intimidating.

This is the point where the pool structure meets its surrounding deck. The coping is typically installed in a 12-inch radius around the pool's perimeter and the spa.

Coping, Latin for "coping", is the covering or capping of a wall. A wedge or splayed coping slopes in one direction. A saddle coping slopes to the opposite side of a central highpoint.
