Steel Fabrication
The best part is that many large fabricators have upgraded to a Voortman from a 3-torch. You will be amazed at the results!
Voortman was built to fulfill all your structural steel or plate fabrication needs. Voortman offers the following advanced features to help you refine your production.
In the competitive world of steel fabrication, reduction of man hours is the ultimate challenge. Fabricators across the globe utilize this time-tested technology to increase their shop capacity and efficiency.
Once you've created a DXFIMPORT COMPLIANT AUTOCAD file, you can then import that file via the DXFImport Utility (optional).
A CNC beam coping machine is safer than a handheld torch. Remote operation of the machine allows the operator to control it remotely, which moves him further away from the cutting flame.
Voortman can help you reduce your production time by up to 80%. This is a great return on investment. We offer turnkey training and installation anywhere in the U.S. for this industry-leading beam coping device.
"..the Liberator's time saved for cutting beams, we can also add the time it takes to fit 2 pieces together perfectly so that no additional trimming or extra work is required. We do not need to fill gaps in welding. We save time both in the fitting and welding. "The Liberator saved me so much time and grey hair. It's worth it!"
We always train your operator how to run the machine using Peddimat as you are often going to have the situation where a customer arrives with a couple of pieces of steel that need holes or layout marks and you want to be able to produce them quickly without bothering your detailing staff who might be busy on a larger job.
WTD returns with extended dates. Visitors now have five days to visit the extensive showrooms of our members and view the most recent technology, some even introducing it in North America. You won't find a single event or show that offers such a large selection of woodworking equipment and impressive live demonstrations at every location.
Although we prefer the machine to be installed indoors, there are several Voortman beam copier installations outside. The machine and control panel must have adequate weather protection. For photos of many of our outdoor installations, please contact us.
Reduced man hours are a key challenge in the highly competitive steel fabrication industry. This proven technology is used by metal fabricators all over the globe to increase their shop's capacity and efficiency.
Most importantly, many large fabricators have upgraded their 3-torch machines to a Voortman. This should tell you everything.
This profile-cutting machine can easily cut almost any drawing you can think of. This machine can not only cope but it can also cut to length!
This machine is available for immediate delivery. Extra cost can be charged for training and installation by a factory-trained technician.
Coping saws, hand saws that have a distinctive U-shaped shape, are used to make curved cuts in thinner materials at home or in the shop.
The ideal thickness for aluminum copings According to architectural fabrication manuals, a thickness of 2.00mm is recommended for coping widths of up to 550mm and 3.00mm for those that exceed 650mm. These are only guidelines.
A box beam made from aluminum or acrylics will last longer than an I-Beam. It is stronger and more solid in construction.
A beam made from a stiffer, stronger material will produce a beam that's stronger and more rigid. The material property that is measured in terms of stiffness is known as "Youngs Modulus Elasticity".
When you are assembling a coping-saw, ensure that the teeth point towards the handle. The teeth will cut if you pull the saw rather than pushing it. This will improve accuracy and prevent your saw from breaking. It will also keep your wood from chipping.
