Robotic Coping Machines Best Buy

In steel fabrication and other manufacturing processes, steel beams, tubes, and pipes often must undergo coping so that they fit properly within an assembly. Oftentimes, these assemblies must fit together odd-shaped components and irregular angles, such as handrails, car bumpers, and racecar roll cages. Coping enables all parts to fit perfectly into their setting, regardless of shape or size.

Manual coping requires that you perform every step manually, from reading the drawings to transferring dimensions, framing and cutting beams with a torch handheld. Manual coping requires a lot of grinding and chipping in order to get the desired result. There is also the possibility of human error in terms of angles, finish, dimensions and misalignment. These inefficiencies can increase operational costs and reduce profits.

MSI (also known as Multi System Integration) allows you to automate your production by connecting machines to cross-transports, roller conveyors and product buffers. MSI distributes your production data automatically to all integrated machines in your production system by simply importing the production data once.

Voortman v808 does not need to be trimmed with every nesting product. The V808 can reduce scrap to a minimum, which is a time-saving option. This is because the last cut of one product is also the cut of the next. The V808 can import DSTV+ and VACAM files. VACAM's beam-nesting module allows continuous nesting to ensure that you get the best product from every stock length.

The most versatile application process in most cases is coping and the machine capable of being as close to a “all-in-one” solution as possible is a robotic plasma processor. Rat holes, seismic structural design connections like jay-allan and “dog bone” cuts, copes at the lead or trail end of a product, block outs, holes in any size, weld preparations, marking on all sides – all are possible to process with a plasma unit and a robot.

Dragon’s front position gate and chuck is easily adjustable, making the load and setup between different shapes and sized materials a breeze.

The VACAM software also comes with an Office Edition. VACAM Office Edition runs in a similar way as VACAM Control and Operating software and is dedicated to preparing your products into producible items. The user interface is focused on the preparation activities and also provides real-time insights in the material load on the system enabling you to monitor your production process. With VACAM Office, production information is available throughout the entire company.

The Voortman V808 is the most versatile and market leading robotic thermal cutting machine with 8-axis for processing wide profiles with a operating width up to 1.250 mm (50"). The extreme flexibility of the robot combined with the machine structure enables the machine to cut every 3D shape possible and mark all four sides of your material. This system allows for enormous freedom to design and produce structures with the most complex connections and copes, but also a significant increase in production speed. Copes, bolt holes, slots, notches, bevels, weld preparation and layout marking - The Voortman V808 does it all!
