Voortman can open DXF files, and can process 3-D shapes provided the steel is properly detailed. Some of these rules might not apply to what you are currently detailing. This may mean that some adjustments might be required. This is not as easy as using 3-D modeling software.

This versatile profile cutter can cut virtually any shape you can imagine. It can also be used to cut lengths!

Your operator will be trained in Peddimat. You might have customers who bring a few pieces to you.

Voortman makes the Voortman exclusively for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. Voortman does the installation, warranty and servicing of the Voortman. Voortman acts as the service provider. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., however, is always available to assist if the need arises.

Voortman beam coping machines are equipped with rigid, long-lasting torch tips that allow for precise positioning within flanges. The closed loop system also allows for the torch head's release in the case of an unanticipated obstruction such as slag.

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 has to use roller conveyors for moving the steel through his machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. makes a special modular system to fit the machine. This modular system, known as the Ocean Eliminator features infeed/outfeed powered roller conveyors as a well as powered lift/carry cross transfer.

The Voortman CNC Beam Coper has been specifically designed for fabricators, general job shops, and other workers who need to notch or cope with all types of steel profiles. Take a look at the following questions to determine if this machine suits your needs.

Torch

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.

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.

Cutting

The ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutting machine features a triple torch design which allows simultaneous cutting of two different flanges. Flange thins on both the top and bottom end of the flanges are done simultaneously. This reduces operating expenses. The ABCM-1250 is an oxy-fuel coper that allows for easier near-flange cuts without lengthy torch probing.

The programming of the CNC Beam Coping Machine can be done even if it is not done manually. The machine programming software, Peddimat, is very easy to use and most operators can program most parts within an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best way to program the machine, however, is to import parts from a CAD drawing, preferably created in 3-D modeling software like ProSteel 3D or StruMis. These files can be imported directly into the machine. Sometimes, the operator may need to edit the part programme to create a lead-out to ensure smooth cutting. Then he selects the part and presses the Cycle Start button.

These features were designed to increase cut precision and are not available on all beam coping machines. Voortman includes them as standard.

Voortman provides 24 hour technical support to our worldwide clients. Voortman's inside service staff has years of experience in assembly, field, and factory checkout. This gives them hands-on experience using most machines. Voortman's service staff are available whenever you need them. They also have superior knowledge and can solve any questions that may arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maximum stress is found at the beam's surface farthest away from the neutral axis. This is known as "maximum surface stress", and it is usually represented by the sigma symbol.

Both can serve the same purpose. A coping saw can also be used for cutting thin pieces of metal, plastic or wood. A jigsaw is also useful.

Your coping should be visible enough to make tricks easier but not too much that it blocks your flow. We found that drilling the coping into a parallel-running 2x4 support directly behind it was the best way to fasten it.

A coping, an architectural construction that is placed on top of a wall then runs down its sides, encasing bricks and providing weather protection, is called a coping. A capping is a covering that sits on top of the wall, with its edges aligned to the wall's width.

Continuous: A beam that extends over more than two supports. Cantilever: A beam that projects from one end and is fixed at the other. The support on the opposite end of the beam is not needed. We will examine some classic beam loading examples. This simple beam has two supports and a centre load.
