Beam Coping Machine Design

Voortman CNC Beam Coper operates very easily. Our operators were mostly the ones who laid the floor. Installation is done without any need for computer skills.

A CNC beam coping tool is safer than a handheld torch. The machine can also be controlled remotely from the operator. This allows him to stay further away than the flame.

Voortman can improve your beam handling capabilities and help your business reach new heights.

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.

Another drawback is that when cutting thicker areas of a part, even on light wide-flange beams, for instance the radius at the intersection of the web and the flange, it is typical for the flame to blow back, and this can and cause damage to the plasma head.

AutoCAD is and architectural software and works well for exporting flat 2-D pieces to plate processing machines. Where it falls short is in its ability to export files for 3-D shapes like beams, channel, angles etc. AutoCAD exports both DWG files and DXF files which are perfect for plates.

Voortman developed Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software, which takes CNC innovation to the next level by allowing users to program more quickly and accurately. The 3D platform allows you to inspect, modify, and export part information. This, combined with Voortman CNC technology, means maximum fabricator capacity.

The CNC Beam Coping Machine, which is the world's most affordable beam coper, is the result a strong collaboration with Voortman (the number one manufacturer structural steel fabricating machinery).

Voortman created Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software. It allows users to program faster and with greater accuracy. The 3D platform lets you inspect, modify and export your part information. This combined with Voortman CNC technology allows for maximum fabrication capacity.

While we always prefer that the machine is installed indoors, we do in fact have several Voortman beam coper installations outside. However suitable weather protection must be provided to the control panel and the machine itself. Please feel free to contact us to see photos from many of our outside installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Manufacturers limit beam lengths to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.

The strength tolerances of the C-beam are lower than those of the I-beam. This results in lighter components. Continue reading if you have never used C-beam profiles. Let us walk you through the basics to help you decide if it is right for you.

There are several types of beam structures Continuous beams. Continuous beams are those that have two or more supports to reinforce the beam. ... Simply supported beams Simply supported beams have support at one end and both ends. ... Fixed beams ... Overhanging beams. ... Cantilever beam.

1- T beams have a greater second moment inertia than ordinary beams. This means they are more resistant to bending.

Preheat the I-beam using the torch flame. To start cutting, grab the torch trigger and hold it. Holding the torch trigger, point it at the outer edge to cut along the line. You can stop if necessary and then continue where you left off.
