Steel Beam Coping Machine

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 can perform almost all types of structural steel fabrication from shaping beams to plate, to coping reliefs or custom profiles. The state-of-the art CNC beam coping machine is capable of replacing the drill lines, bandsaws, punches, band saws, layout and marking stations and layout and marking station in your shop. This frees up valuable space and allows you to keep a lean workforce. Voortman only requires one technician to operate. Voortman offers many advantages, including better quality, faster turnarounds, reduced waste, and lower costs.

Voortman, Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., and Voortman have been dedicated to providing reliable, affordable CNC solutions that are both safe for your employees as well as work. The Voortman meets the highest safety standards and uses state of the-art components.

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.

Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. offers the assurance of robotic profiling and coping that are unsurpassed in the industry. Our high definition plasma technology system, capable of cutting through a wide array of metal profiles for structural steel and other metal pieces, is backed by our company.

Not every problem can be diagnosed with remote assistance. Mechanical issues or questions that require the human eye are still common. Voortman machines are shipped with high definition web cameras and software; allowing Voortman employees to directly experience the activity at the installation without the need to leave the office. The webcam has significant value in foreign countries or in situations where language might be a barrier to effectively communicate the issue.
