How To Cope A Beam
Voortman was built only for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. Voortman is responsible for the installation, warranty, and service of the Voortman. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the Voortman. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. can also be contacted if necessary.
AKYAPAK has a new solution in the steel construction sector... High speed, high processing performance and AFD up 1000x1500 mm (40x60") material.
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.
Your detailer will then supply you a DWG / PLT / PDF file that you will use to print or plot your drawings. He will also supply you with the NC or NC1 files that you will import directly into your machine. The DSTV-Import function is standard on the Voortman.
Another problem is that when cutting thicker portions of a piece, even using light wide-flange beams (e.g. the radius at intersection of the web, and the flange), it is not uncommon for the flame back to blow away, which can damage the plasma head.
FANUC has six axes. It can bevel 360°. The FANUC robotic arms can make quick work of any shape or profile. This versatility is complemented by the power and precision of HyperthermXDefinition plasma.
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).
This safety mechanism prolongs tip and head life and greatly increases uptime to avoid costly torchtip changes and repairs.
Voortman was created to provide a single solution for all your steel and plate fabrication needs. Voortman has the following top-of-the line features to improve your production:
We also provide service for all structural steel fabrication machinery, including beam coping machines. Contact us to schedule a service date today.
We have installed more than a thousand CNC beam lines and angle lines throughout the world and we have found that the average operator, who has never before programmed a machine before, can become efficient on the machine in less than 1/2 day.
Voortman's beam coping machine has extended, rigid and durable torch tips which allow precise positioning within flanges. A closed loop system permits the torchhead to be released in the event of contact with an unexpected obstruction like slag.
Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line and Voortman CNC Drill Line introduced affordable automation to beams and angles for small-to-medium fabricators. Voortman Liberator is similar in that it allows automated beam coping into shops that might not otherwise have considered it.
FANUC's robotic arm can be angled 360 degrees. This allows it to quickly and easily cut any shape or profile required for coping beams. This versatility is coupled with the superior power and flexibility of Hypertherm-X-Definition Plasma.
Coping saws, hand saws that have a distinctive U-shaped shape, are used to make curved cuts in thinner materials at home or in the shop.
To increase your beam's bending capability, you will need to increase the second moment (I) if your beam design is controlled by yielding in bend (not lateral-torsional or plate buckling). This is usually done by attaching additional plates to your beam, often onto the flanges.
Coping is a process that allows a beam to fit into other parts of a framework.
