"..the Liberator saves us time for cutting the beam, but we also save time by fitting 2 pieces together so precisely that no trimming or additional work are required. We don't need to fill in any gaps with welding. We are able to save both time and money on the welding of the structure. It is also priceless to have the Liberator do my job for me.

Voortman can cut the copes out of your steel beams quicker than any layout man. The Voortman CNC beam drill line and the Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle line brought automation to small-to-medium fabricators. In the same manner, the Voortman automates beam coping in shops that would otherwise not have considered it.

How To Cope I Beam

Plasma heads are very popular for cutting steel, due to the high quality and speed of the cuts. However, due to the size of the plasma cutting head it is not possible to get the head close enough to the flange, and many styles of copes typically required in beams are just not possible with plasma heads.

We can assure you that the Robotic coping/profiler machine has passed all critical fabrication tests: hardness, surface texture and beam flange access hole quality. It also successfully scaled bolt hole sizing and positioning. We have made available, through our stocking, the Voortman CNC Coping and Profiling machine. It is made to an exceptional standard for you, hence its extraordinary capacities.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
