What Is T Beam And L Beam
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.
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!
The PCR41 is a unique design that combines vision systems, robotics and plasma torch technology. It offers the best combination value, speed, precision and 4-face operation for cutting structural steel.
Software included in this group includes X-Steel. SDS/2. Tekla Structures. StruCAD. DetailCAD. SteelCAD. ProSteel 3-D. All three-dimensional modeling programs export the DSTV format that can be easily imported into Voortman.
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.
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.
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.
A coping saw simply has a C-shaped steel frame that holds pivoting blade holders. These pin the blade's ends. The blade can be tightened by a few twists of its handle. This tensions the blade and allows it to make fast, precise cuts in almost any material.
Oscillating Power Tool. Coping is the best choice for any corners in the room. A coping saw could be used to accomplish the task, but an oscillating power instrument could make it easier.
Douglas fir is perhaps the strongest of all wood beams. Although there may be a stronger wood, I don't know of any. Lumber mills today make beams in the same way as plywood. To make extremely strong structural engineered timbers, they use layers of solid wood that have been glued together.
Support for beam splices should be provided by some type of post or structural column. A foot-ing should be provided that the column or post rests on. The beams should be attached to the post using an approved metal connector. The beams must be supported by at most 1 in.
