What shape of beam is strongest
The ultimate challenge in the steel fabrication industry is to reduce man hours. This time-tested technology is used by fabricators around the world to increase shop capacity and efficiency.
We have installed over 1000 CNC beam lines, angle lines, and other lines all over the world. It has been our experience that the average operator can program a machine in under half an hour.
Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line was a tool that allowed for affordable automation of angles and beams in small to medium-sized fabricators. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Line also brought automated beam coping to smaller shops.
A 5-axis single torch CNC beam-coping machine is a machine that uses only one torch for all coping. One torch can be used to cope a beam. The torch will cut the web, then move on the flanges. It moves from one end of the web to the other in a sequential fashion. The 5-axis torch can move in an almost unlimited number of directions and places, making it possible for even the most difficult of jobs. The 5-axis torch allows for double miter/bevel cut on both flanges and web, something that multi-torch units are unable to do.
The Voortman comes standard with a 12-month parts-and labor warranty. Your Voortman Beam Coping Machine will be repaired by factory service technicians if it fails to work within the warranty period.
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.
Voortman's Roller Feed Measuring system surpasses industry standards. The key to accurate measurements is not allowing for any production hesitations. Even when there are material variations, accuracy must be maintained.
The main reason is cost. A plasma-cutting process can produce a high level of carcinogenic dust. This dust must be captured in an extraction filtering system. This and the cost to completely cover the machine to evacuate it raise the price significantly beyond what an average fabricator is willing to pay to get a beam coping solution.
The PCR42 plasma cutter can be used by your operator in just a few days. The interface is simple and easy to use. Mac-Tech is always available for assistance if you need it.
Because you might get a request from a customer for a couple of pieces, you will need to train your operator in Peddimat.
Our office hours run from 8am to 5pm Eastern Time. We are experts in all aspects of the machine. We welcome technical support calls anytime during our business hours.
Most importantly, many large fabricators have moved from a 3-torch to a Voortman. This will tell you all!
AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machine are capable of drilling 6 to 80mm and 1/4" to 3-1/8" thicknesses within their own area. Material is mounted on the table by using balls and fixed with hydraulic clamping jaws. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.
The Voortman beam handling machine is simple with few moving parts. It makes it easy to maintain and very economical. Voortman was specifically designed to be used around the globe and uses only components made by major manufacturers. However, many of the parts can be purchased locally. Voortman maintains all parts in stock so that they can be delivered next day to the USA. In many countries, we offer support and local service.

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.
H-Beams. H-beams are one of the strongest steel beams. It is composed of horizontal elements and the web by vertical beams. Popular in civil engineering and construction, the web and flanges create a cross section that is similar to the shape of the letter H.
As can be seen, shear stresses change quadratically with distance y1 from neutral axis. The neutral axis is the point where shear stress is maximal. It is also zero at the beam's top and bottom surfaces.
Weiten identified four types of coping strategies. They are: problem-focused (adaptive cognitive), appraisal-focused (adaptive behavioral), emotion focused (emotion-focused) and occupation-focused. Billings and Moos also added avoidance coping to the list of emotion-focused coping.
