Metal Fabrication
Voortman inside service technicians often don’t need to be at your machine to solve a problem you may have. A common internet connection is all that is needed for the Voortman technician to operate your control as if he was standing with you at the machine. The Powerful Windows® based Siemens control used on Voortman equipment allows for this capability, and provides superior diagnostics via Windows® based platform.
With Voortman, a profile of the cope can be uploaded to the CNC software from the built-in shape library or CAD. The user-friendly interface will then allow you to manually calibrate cutting tolerances, nest parts for coping, and track robotic cutting paths before the work begins so that any mistakes can be avoided. Then, the material simply needs to be loaded and the start button pressed for Voortman to begin coping with perfection.
Most importantly, many large fabricators have moved from a 3-torch to a Voortman. This will tell you all!
Voortman technicians can often work remotely from their computers to solve any problems you might have. Voortman technicians only need an internet connection to be able to use your control like he were there with you. Voortman equipment is equipped with a Powerful Windows (r)-based Siemens control, which allows for this capability. This platform also offers superior diagnostics.
The factory trained service tech will spend about 5 days at your site installing the machine, calibrating it, and re-training operators. This will give you more than enough hands-on experience, and also help with troubleshooting, maintenance, and diagnostic training.
This CNC beam coper with single torch eliminates the need for manual laying of your copes. Instead, it makes sure that your CNC detail drawings are accurate and precise and your copes are completed neatly.
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's software features CAD for custom design, CAM to nest and CNC for automated operations. It is compatible with almost any profile or design and does not require an annual service contract.
The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Beam Coping Machine makes it the most affordable beam copier in the world. It is the result a productive collaboration with Voortman. Voortman has been the top-ranked manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machinery.
AutoCAD is an architectural program that exports flat 2-D pieces of information to plate processing machines. It does not export files for 3-D forms such as beams and angles. AutoCAD exports DWG files and DXF file, which are ideal for plates.
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.
Reducing man hours in steel fabrication is a major challenge. This tried-and-true technology is used worldwide by steel fabricators to increase shop capacity, and their efficiency.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine uses Oxy-fuel. Therefore, the thickness of materials is not important. Material up to 6" can be handled.
Lightweight coping saws have a thin blade that is ideal for cutting intricate shapes and curves. Although coping saws can be easy to use, they can be intimidating.
Coping Saw Coping Saws are handsaws that can cut extremely tight curves in thin stock like trim molding. They can be used to cut outside (from the edge), on stock up to two or three inches thick.
Continuous steel beams are made up of multiple beams, which are joined and supported by beams. This creates a strong, but flexible component for large-scale structures. Continuous beams can be used for bridges, multi-story buildings and complex roof structures.
Scroll saw blades are a bit thinner than coping saw blades and have finer teeth. Scroll saws are more suitable for delicate and intricate work. Coping saws, on the other hand, are slightly better for thicker materials that require less delicacy.
Both coping saws as well as jigsaws can cut curves or irregular shapes. Due to its shorter blade and faster speed, a jigsaw works better for cutting very irregular shapes or tight curves. For curved or circular curves, coping saws work better.
