APC 1200, a fully upgraded unit, is available in addition to the basic unit. It is capable of oxy-fuel cutting and plasma combination, both with the torches mounted on a pivoting cylinder head. They can switch between them electronically in under a second and without any need to be done manually. The Plasma is used most of the time to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed with the ability to automatically switch over to Oxy Fuel if there is a material thickness that exceeds the Plasma's cut capacity. The laser probing is included in this upgraded unit.
Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cuttinghead is an easy, inexpensive oxyfuel head. It utilizes oxygen as well as any fuel of your choosing, including propylene (acetylene), natural gas, and propane. These gases are cheap and readily available at your welding supplier. Welders experienced in hand torch cutting will easily set up the flow rates for the Oxy-Fuel as they are accustomed to.
METEOR-1200 can reduce the time it takes to drill or on-site assembly. METEOR-1200 can drill beams, angles and flat sheets of any geometry. The state-of-art control system allows you to mill slots, pockets, and any other geometry.
This plasma drilling machine has been designed to incorporate as many fabrication functions as possible into one machine. The PCR41 is able to produce completely finished parts at the lowest possible manufacturing costs. This machine automates all cutting operations typically performed and structural steel.
Software falling under this category includes X-Steel (SDS/2), Tekla Structures (StruCAD), DetailCAD and SteelCAD. All 3-D modeling software exports the DSTV file which is then seamlessly imported into Voortman.
A CNC beam coping device is much safer than using a handheld torch. Remote control of the machine is possible, which allows the operator to work further from the cutting torch.
Our office hours are 8am to 5pm Eastern Time. We are intimately familiar with all aspects of the machine and we welcome your technical support calls at any time during our business hours.
The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Beam Coping Machine is the most affordable beam coper in the world, and is the result of a strong and productive collaboration with Voortman, the number one manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machinery.
Programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine takes little to no time and is intuitive for even those who don't have any previous experience with computers or CNC.
It is much easier to import files directly from your steel detailing tool. In this regard there are two distinct camps.
Voortman designs machines to meet our strict specifications. Voortman focuses on larger fabricators while Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is a machine manufacturer that targets small-medium fabricators. Voortman has been building machines in Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s shop for over 10 years. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is Voortman's biggest customer.
Dragon's front gate and chuck are easily adjustable. This makes it easy to load and set up different sizes and shapes of materials.
Voortman has the ability to import DXF and can use them in order to process 3-D forms as long as the steel details are followed precisely. Some of these might be different from the way you are detailing the steel at the moment, and might need some adjustments. This process isn't as seamless as the 3D modeling software solutions.
The Voortman comes supplied with a 12-month parts & labor on-site warranty. Factory service technicians will make sure your Voortman Beam Coping Machine is up and running in no time.
In many types of structures, material strength is more important than weight. I-beams, which look like a capital "I", in cross-section, are often used in bridges and buildings. Although it is lighter and heavier than a regular beam, an I-beam is almost as strong and rigid.
The beams are structural elements that move loads from the slab to columns. Transfer beams are used to transfer load from one load-bearing wall into another. They are usually horizontal members. A beam's purpose is to support walls and avoid concrete slab loading.
Fret Saws are also known as Jeweler's Saws. They are smaller than Coping Saws. They have shorter blades and are designed for maneuverability and quick turns. They can be used for metal work and woodwork if the blade is right.
A continuous beam with two spans is the simplest statically undeterminate structure. It contains only one indeterminacy but it exhibits the basic characteristics of a statically uncertain structure.
Reinforced concrete beams can be made by embedding steel bars along the lengths of structural members to increase their tensile strength. These beams are the most popular.
