Beam Coping Machine Head Lyrics
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line and Voortman CNC Drill Line introduced affordable automation to beams and angles for small-to-medium fabricators. Voortman Liberator is similar in that it allows automated beam coping into shops that might not otherwise have considered it.
Along with the basic unit that has some optional upgrade features, there is also the fully upgraded APC 1200. It has combination plasma and oxy-fuel cutting with both torches mounted on a pivoting head. They will flip one to the other interchangeably via computer control in a second without having to do anything manually. The machine is operated primarily with the Plasma to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed to automatically switch to the Oxy Fuel when the material thickness is beyond the cutting capacity of the Plasma. This upgraded unit comes standard with the laser probing for automatic height adjustment.
A coping saw is what you need if you're cutting intricate exteriors or interior cuts into wood. A hacksaw is a tool that can be used to cut metal pipes and plastic.
Support for beam splices should be provided by some type of post or structural column. A foot-ing should be provided that the column or post rests on. The beams should be attached to the post using an approved metal connector. The beams must be supported by at most 1 in.
Steel is stronger than wood pound for pound. It's amazing to see how engineered wood beams have evolved over the past 40-years.
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.
I-Beam. . . . This is the ultimate beam profile. It is extremely strong in the vertical direction and has an equal response to all other forces. It is the strongest profile in strength to weight (vertical), making it an excellent DIY beam profile for Cranes and main beams for long and large trailers.
