Coping Beam In Wall

Steel Beam Coping

The process of making relief cuts to the beam in order for it to fit into other parts of a framework is called coping. A handheld torch can be used to coping, but professional structural steel fabricators prefer to use a beam coping device to speed up production and improve precision. Voortman is an industry-leading CNC beam cutter that gives you a significant advantage over your competitors.

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.

The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Beam Coping Machine is the most affordable beam coper in the world, and is the result of a strong and productive collaboration with Voortman, the number one manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machinery.

The Voortman beam and coping machine has very few moving components, which makes maintenance easy and affordable. Voortman has been designed for worldwide use and only uses parts from top manufacturers. The majority of components can be obtained locally. Voortman always has spare parts available for next-day delivery in the USA. We offer local service and support in almost all of our overseas destinations.

Bend-Tech Dragon A400 CNC Tube Cutting, Engraving, and Marking Machine is commercial grade. Dragon A400, combined with the most powerful CAD/CAM program in the world will accomplish the job quickly and accurately.

The basic unit is semi-automatic, with oxy-fuel coping machines. The operator positions and finetunes the workpiece before it is cut. The laser can also be set up automatically to auto-probe and adjust the torch height. The basic unit has powered conveyors. Before cutting, the operator must manually measure and mark X on the feedstock. The optional laser measuring of the feedstock can also be used as an automated measurement system. The interface allows the operator input the material type to which they want to cut. The operator navigates through a variety of options by using the touch screen to see pictorial representations. The computer program includes all dimensions of structural steel AISC. A fully dimensioned deal drawing is displayed to simplify programming, save time and reduce operator input errors. The operator has the ability to modify or override the input. It can also be saved as an additional program, if needed. DSTV exported drawings can also be used to pre-programme your machine. An operator can use the wireless remote control to operate, start, stop and manage the equipment. The wireless remote control allows the operator to easily view the equipment from any angle that is needed to verify and maintain accuracy. Operator marks the material, moves the material in the right position and clamps it hydraulically to ensure that the material is cut correctly. The laser operator aligns the laser to the mark, then begins the process. The torch lightens and pre-heats the material. The operator initiates and finishes the cutting process, as long as he maintains the correct torch height.

Voortman uses a special torch nozzle. It can last approximately 3 to 6 months depending upon how hot it is. Because the torchnozzle has a break-away head that directs the torch nozzle it is almost impossible for it to be bent. The heat from gases passing through the torch nozzle eventually wears out the nozzles. Replacement torch tips start at $75 per tip.

Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated, highly trained and eager to improve their productivity. Call for pricing and details.

Importing files directly from steel detailing software is preferable. This eliminates the need for additional steps and eliminates any potential errors in data capture. In this regard, there are two distinct groups:

Can you use a jigsaw for coping

Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cutting head uses an easy and affordable oxy-fuel cylinder head. This cuts with oxygen and any other fuel, including propane, natural gas, acetylene and propylene. These gases can be purchased at a very low cost from your supplier and are available for free. Welders with experience in torch cutting will also be able to adjust the flow rates of Oxy-Fuel exactly as they do now.

Three torching machines for simultaneous oxy fuel cutting offer unrivalled speed and efficiency. The ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutting machine can be used for miter cutting and beveled-weld preparation on top and bottom flanges.

The PCR41 is an innovative design that combines robotics, vision systems and plasma torch technology to bring you the best combination of value, speed, precision, and 4-face operation to cutting structural steel that a robotic plasma cutter can offer.

"..in the two and half years we've had a Voortman the efficiency of the preparation processes for our product has been dramatically increased. The old method of handling and welding preparation was tedious. Manually laying out, and burning, left much to be desired. The Liberator burns much cleaner and takes up less time. The Liberator can be compact and still deliver big results. Ocean has offered a way to save time and money. Our customers also get a quality product.

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.
