Beam Coping Machine Benefits

Multiple axis positioning enables top and/or bottom flanges are cut simultaneously. The pivoting torch can be used for flange shaping in preparation for welding.

The basic unit comprises a semiautomatic, oxyfuel-fuel coping system. The operator positions the piece, fine tunes it, cuts the material, and adjusts the torch height. A laser can be used to automatically set the torch height and probe the material. The basic unit also comes with powered conveyors. These allow the operator the ability to manually measure the length of the feedstock and mark it before cutting. There is an optional automated measuring device that uses laser to measure the feed stock. The operator can input the material to be cut through the interface. Operator scrolls through a number of options via pictorial representations displayed on the computer touch screen. The computer is programmed to display all the dimensions of AISC structural Steel. A fully dimensioned, dimensional cope drawing is available to facilitate programming and save time. Operators have the option to override or customize input and they can save it as a new programming program, if required. DSTV exported diagrams can also be used to program the machine. The wireless remote control allows the operator to turn on, off and operate the equipment. The operator can freely view the equipment at any angle that is necessary to verify operation and maintain accuracy. The operator marks the material, then moves it to a suitable position. Finally, he clamps the material hydraulically so that it can be cut. The operator aligns his laser to the mark and starts the cycle. The torch turns on, preheating and heating the material. The operator initiates the process of cutting and finishes it as long the torch height is maintained.

The CNC Beam Coping Machine can be described as the most economical beam coper anywhere in the world. It's the result of a strong, productive collaboration between Voortman, the leading manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machine.

This safety mechanism will ensure long tip and heads life and significantly increase uptime to avoid expensive torch tip replacements and repairs.

Voortman uses the Voortman's torch nozzle. The nozzle is specially engineered to last 3 - 6 month depending on how hot your machine runs. The torch nozzle is difficult to bend due to the head breakaway that deflects it. The heat of the gases through the nozzle eventually causes nozzles to become worn. Replacement torch tips are available for $75 per tip.

The PCR41 combines vision systems, robotics, and plasma torch technology. This innovative design offers you the best value, speed and precision that a robotic plasma cutter can provide.

"..in the two and half years we've had a Voortman the efficiency of the preparation processes for our product has been dramatically increased. The old method of handling and welding preparation was tedious. Manually laying out, and burning, left much to be desired. The Liberator burns much cleaner and takes up less time. The Liberator can be compact and still deliver big results. Ocean has offered a way to save time and money. Our customers also get a quality product.

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.
