Robotic Coping Machines Explained
The V808 is equipped with an agile, 8-axis cutting robot that’s able to reach and process the full maximum width of profiles within the machine’s range. Due to the fact Voortman has added two extra axes on top of the six axes of the Panasonic robot itself, the machine has a very wide reach and can place itself underneath the raw material. Voortman programs the robot in a way that it always maneuvers in the most stable position, which also improves cutting quality.
We have created a real-time demo product that shows you how the Voortman v808 robotic thermal cutting machine is the fastest on the market. The Voortman V808 is fast! Watch the video below. This product contains 12 different actions. They are all performed by one machine.
For those who may have questions as to the standards of our Robotic coping and profiling machine, we can confidently say that ours has scaled the most vital fabrication tests successfully; hardness, surface texture, beam flange weld access hole quality, bolt hole sizing, positioning and perpendicularity. As always, we have through our stocking made available the Voortman CNC coping and profiling machine, which is designed to an exceptional standard just for you, hence its outstanding capacities.
Manual coping means that every step is done by hand. Manual coping involves a labor intensive process. To achieve the desired finish, it requires significant grinding and cutting. The risk of human error when it comes to angles, dimensions, finishes and alignment is high. These inefficiencies result in higher operating costs and lower profits.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is confident that its Robotic Coping and Profiling technology is unmatched in the industry. This plasma technology system can be used to cut through a wide range metal profiles.
Your operator will be able to use the PCR42 plasma cutting machine in less than a week. It is easy to use and very user-friendly. Mac-Tech is available to help if you ever have a question.
Voortman V807 is an automated 7-axis thermal profile cutting machine. This system can cut all four sides of materials with extraordinary speed and accuracy. This CNC coping tool can be used to process standard and wide flange beams.
Manual coping is a manual process that involves every step, from reading and transferring dimensions to measuring and framing the beams, using a handheld torch, and then cutting them with a torch. Manual coping can be labor-intensive and requires significant grinding or chipping to achieve the desired results. Human error can also occur regarding angles, finish and dimensions. These inefficiencies increase operational costs and lower profits.
All Voortman V808 robotic thermocutting machines come with the VACAM operating system. This means that all machines speak the same language. The V808 is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of layouts, including cross-transports and roller conveyors that are connected to other Voortman machines or as a standalone processing center.
The PCR41 combines the best of robotics, vision system and plasma torch technology. This design offers you the best value, speed and precision that a robotic plasma cutter can provide.
You can use your profiles fully from front to rear with the V808 equipped with sliding roller conveyors. This ensures that there is no waste material. In full automation, cross-transports and infeed/outfeed roller conveyors combine to reduce the minimum infeed length by sliding roller conveyors.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has been a market leader in 3D Pipe Profiling for over 35 years. It was the first company to provide a robot beam profiling system with reliable capabilities cutting all types of saddles, chamfers & slots. This machine is called the RPC 1200 Mk3. We fulfilled a long-standing demand by introducing a beam cutting machine that can profile beams. Angle bars, channel, square pipes, as well plates, T bars and bulbs.
We also offer service on all structural steel fabrication machines, including beam-coping machines. To schedule a service, please contact us.
Highly skilled and experienced fabricators must be able to handle manual setups and layouts. Low-skilled partners could cause costly mistakes and lower quality work that will cost more than working with a CNC operator.
Coping is a process that allows a beam to fit into other parts of a framework.
Preheat the I-beam using the torch flame. To start cutting, grab the torch trigger and hold it. Holding the torch trigger, point it at the outer edge to cut along the line. You can stop if necessary and then continue where you left off.
A channel for rainwater is the primary purpose of coping. The coping prevents rainwater from seeping into walls by allowing it to drip down the walls. It also gives the wall an artistic look.
To remove more wood from the back, angle the coping saw 30 degrees. Pro tip: Trimmings that have been cut with coping cuts can often leave thin, pointed tips. To prevent them from splintering, support the tips with your finger while you file, cut, or sand.
Maximum stress is found at the beam's surface farthest away from the neutral axis. This is known as "maximum surface stress", and it is usually represented by the sigma symbol.
