Beam Coping Machine Mortise
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 PCR41 is an innovative design that combines robotics, vision systems and plasma torch technology to bring you the best combination of value, speed, precision, and 4-face operation to cutting structural steel that a robotic plasma cutter can offer.
Voortman has the perfect beam coping capability to help you take your business to new heights.
Voortman has been built for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. only. Voortman takes care of installation, warranty work and service. Voortman provides the service, but Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is available to assist if required.
The basic unit is an oxy-fuel, semi-automatic coping machine. The operator places the workpiece and finetunes it before starting the cutting. An automated laser option is available to automatically probe the workpiece and adjust the torch height. The basic unit includes powered conveyors that allow the operator to manually measure and mark the length of the feed stock before cutting. Optional automated measuring system using Laser measurement of feed stock is available. Operators can input the material type they wish to cut via the interface. The computer touch screen allows the operator to scroll through a selection of options using pictorial representations. All dimensions of the AISC structural steel are programmed into the computer. The computer displays a fully dimensioned cope drawing, which simplifies programming and minimizes operator error. Operators can modify and override the input, and it can also be saved as a new program, as desired. You can pre-programme the machine from your office using DSTV exported drawings. The operator can use a wireless remote to control the equipment. The Operator can view the equipment from any angle he needs to ensure accuracy and verify operations. The operator marks the material and moves it into position. Finally, hydraulically clamps the material for cutting. The laser is aligned to the operator's mark by the operator and the cycle begins. The torch is ignited, pre-heating material. Operator initiates and finishes the cutting process manually, ensuring that the torch height is maintained.
We also provide service for all structural steel fabrication machinery. Contact us to schedule a service date today.
The PCR41 is a revolutionary design that combines robots, vision systems, and plasma torch tech to offer the best combination in speed, accuracy, and precision when cutting steel.
We prefer to have the machine installed indoors. However, we do have several Voortman beam cooper installations outside. But the machine and its control panel should be protected from the elements. Contact us for photos of any of our outside installations.
We have installed more then a thousand CNC beamlines and angle lines across the globe. We have found that the average operator who has never programmed any machine before can become proficient on it in less half a day.
"..the Liberator's time saved for cutting beams, we can also add the time it takes to fit 2 pieces together perfectly so that no additional trimming or extra work is required. We do not need to fill gaps in welding. We save time both in the fitting and welding. "The Liberator saved me so much time and grey hair. It's worth it!"
And of course the most important reason is cost. Cutting steel with plasma produces highly carcinogenic dust that MUST be captured in a dust extraction filtering system. This as well as the cost to completely enclose the machine to evacuate the dust raises the price to far beyond what our typical fabricator is prepared to pay for a beam coping solution.
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.
