Beam Coping Machine Alaskan Mill

The basic unit is an oxy-fuel, semi-automatic coping machine. The operator places the workpiece and finetunes it before starting the cutting. An automated laser option is available to automatically probe the workpiece and adjust the torch height. The basic unit includes powered conveyors that allow the operator to manually measure and mark the length of the feed stock before cutting. Optional automated measuring system using Laser measurement of feed stock is available. Operators can input the material type they wish to cut via the interface. The computer touch screen allows the operator to scroll through a selection of options using pictorial representations. All dimensions of the AISC structural steel are programmed into the computer. The computer displays a fully dimensioned cope drawing, which simplifies programming and minimizes operator error. Operators can modify and override the input, and it can also be saved as a new program, as desired. You can pre-programme the machine from your office using DSTV exported drawings. The operator can use a wireless remote to control the equipment. The Operator can view the equipment from any angle he needs to ensure accuracy and verify operations. The operator marks the material and moves it into position. Finally, hydraulically clamps the material for cutting. The laser is aligned to the operator's mark by the operator and the cycle begins. The torch is ignited, pre-heating material. Operator initiates and finishes the cutting process manually, ensuring that the torch height is maintained.

METEOR-1200 reduces labor time. METEOR-1200 can drill beams of all shapes and sizes, including angles, flat sheet, and flat sheets. A state of the art control system can be used to make slots, pockets, or any other geometry.

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.

Voortman can handle nearly every type of structural steel fabrication, from shaping beams and plate to coping reliefs and custom profiles. In fact, this state-of-the-art CNC beam coping machine can replace the punches, drill lines, band saws, coping and grinding stations, and layout and marking stations in your shop, freeing up valuable space and allowing you to maintain a lean workforce—Voortman requires only one technician to operate. The benefits of Voortman are many and include better quality work, faster turnarounds, and reduced waste.

The Voortman requires roller conveyors to move the steel through the machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. supplies a modular system made specifically for the machine. This modular system is called the Ocean Eliminator and features in-feed and out-feed powered roller conveyors, as well as powered lift and carry cross transfers.

A global pandemic, natural disasters, material shortages—economic turbulence is an ever-present issue that professional fabricators must navigate to ensure a profitable business. When economic storms arise, a lot of structural steel fabrication companies take a lean manufacturing approach to keep operating costs low while still hitting their production goals. A key way to maintain costs.

And most importantly, several large fabricators have upgraded from a 3-torch machine to an Voortman. That will tell you everything!

Even if you are programming the CNC Beam Coping Machine manually, it is easy to program. Programming the machine is easy with Peddimat. Most operators can program most parts in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. It is best to program the machine by importing parts directly from a 3D CAD drawing. This should be done using software like StruMis, ProSteel 3D and StruMis. These files are directly imported into the machine. In some cases, the operator may have to edit the part programming to create a guide out for smooth cutting. After selecting the part to process, he presses the Cycle start button.
