Structural Steel is used for the construction of nearly every type of structure including bridges and buildings. The designs of these structures are subject to considerable variation. Steel beams must meet exact specifications as outlined in blueprints. Steel beams need to be cut to the proper size and thickness.
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.
WTD has extended its dates and visitors can now visit our members' showrooms on five days. They will also be able to see some of the newer technology. The WTD offers a wider range of woodworking equipment than any other single event. There are also live demonstrations at each location.
Another issue is that plasma heads can be damaged if the flame blows back when cutting thicker sections of material, even with wide-flange beams.
Three torches for simultaneous oxy-fuel cutting create an unmatched combination of speed and efficiency. Capable of miter cutting and beveled weld preparation on the top and bottom flanges, the ABCM-1250 CNC beam coping machine also boasts automatic torch ignition.
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.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine uses Oxy-fuel. Therefore, the thickness of materials is not important. Material up to 6" can be handled.
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.
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.
The Voortman Technical Support Office is open 24 hours a day, and is always ready to answer your questions, no matter how simple or complicated.
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.

We always train your operator how to run the machine using Peddimat as you are often going to have the situation where a customer arrives with a couple of pieces of steel that need holes or layout marks and you want to be able to produce them quickly without bothering your detailing staff who might be busy on a larger job.
“.. in the two and a half years we have had an Voortman, the efficiency and quality of the preparation procedures for our product has been drastically increased. Coping and weld prep of the past was very time consuming. Manually laying out and burning left a lot to be desired. With the Liberator, the burns are much cleaner, reducing grind time dramatically. The Liberator is a compact machine that delivers big results. All in all, Ocean has provided an opportunity to save time and energy, which equals out to saving money and our customers get a quality product.”
A beam made from a stiffer, stronger material will produce a beam that's stronger and more rigid. The material property that is measured in terms of stiffness is known as "Youngs Modulus Elasticity".
Units will adhere better if they are pre-wetted and mixed with a slightly wetter mortar. Step 4: The coping should be approximately 2 inches (50mm) high and slope at a slope of 2% from the pool.
The blade is very thin so it works well with the pull. The steel frame's spring tension keeps the blade in place. This rigidity allows for the blade to move on both the upward and downward strokes, but it is only when the blade actually cuts that the blade cuts.
Notching or coping is the act of joining two pieces of tubing together. This is a function of angles determined by the location of the tube.
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.
