Voortman is capable of handling almost any type of structural steel fabrication. This includes shaping beams and plates, coping reliefs, and custom profiles. This state-of the-art CNC beam-coping machine can replace your punches and drill lines, band saws and layout and marking stations. It is also easy to use and requires only one technician to operate. Voortman has many benefits, including faster turnarounds and lower waste.

The Voortman is built exclusively for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. by Voortman. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the Voortman. And while Voortman is the service provider, Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is always there to get involved should the need arise.

Voortman beam coping machines are equipped with rigid, long-lasting torch tips that allow for precise positioning within flanges. The closed loop system also allows for the torch head's release in the case of an unanticipated obstruction such as slag.

Multiple axis positioning enables top and/or bottom flanges are cut simultaneously. The pivoting torch can be used for flange shaping in preparation for welding.

Steel Fabrication

The Voortman will cut the copes in your steel beams faster than your layout man can even layout the copes. In the same way that the Voortman CNC Beam Drill Line and the Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line brought affordable automation of beams and angles to the small-to-medium fabricator, the Voortman similarly brings automated beam coping into shops that otherwise could never have considered it.

Voortman uses an extended torch nozzle to reach inside Flanges. These are available in a variety of sizes, depending on how thick the material is to be cut. The torch tips can also be gas-specific so please specify the type of gas you use: Acetylene or Natural Gas, MAPP or Propane, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

To ensure beams and columns are in harmony (interference free), it is necessary to notch or copoe beams. Sometimes, it is necessary to remove material from a web or flange in order to allow the intersecting steel pieces fit.

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. Pro tip: Keep your eyes on the outside of the line.

Install the coping saw blade with the teeth facing the handle. The coping saw cuts on the pull stroke, unlike a hacksaw which has the teeth facing away from the handle.

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.

A coping saw simply has a C-shaped steel frame that holds pivoting blade holders. These pin the blade's ends. The blade can be tightened by a few twists of its handle. This tensions the blade and allows it to make fast, precise cuts in almost any material.
