Multiple axis positioning permits top and bottom flanges to be cut simultaneously. Flange beveling for weld prep is easily achieved with pivoting torches to the programmed miter position.

Voortman can make the steel beams’ copes cut faster than your layoutman. Voortman CNC Angle Line and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line both brought automation of beams and angles at an affordable price to small-to–medium fabricators. Voortman does the same.

Miter Cutting

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 created Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software. It allows users to program faster and with greater accuracy. The 3D platform lets you inspect, modify and export your part information. This combined with Voortman CNC technology allows for maximum fabrication capacity.

What is the longest a beam can span

Voortman uses the Voortman's torch nozzle. The nozzle is specially engineered to last 3 - 6 month depending on how hot your machine runs. The torch nozzle is difficult to bend due to the head breakaway that deflects it. The heat of the gases through the nozzle eventually causes nozzles to become worn. Replacement torch tips are available for $75 per tip.

Programming of the CNC Beam Coping Machine is very simple even when done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat and most operators can learn how to program most parts in less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However the best way to program the machine is to import parts directly from a CAD drawing preferably done in some 3-D modeling software such as Tekla Structures, SDS/2, ProSteel 3D, StruMis etc. These files import directly into the machine. In some cases the operator might need to edit the part program to create a lead out to ensure smooth cutting and then he merely selects the part to be processed and hits the Cycle Start button.

Beam Coping Machine Radiation

The process of making relief cuts to the beam in order for it to fit into other parts of a framework is called coping. A handheld torch can be used to coping, but professional structural steel fabricators prefer to use a beam coping device to speed up production and improve precision. Voortman is an industry-leading CNC beam cutter that gives you a significant advantage over your competitors.

Voortman is proud to offer 24 hour technical assistance to its partners in order that they can serve our global clients. Voortman's staff are highly skilled in all aspects of the service industry, including assembly and factory checkout. This gives them a lot of hands-on experience with almost all machines. Voortman’s service staff is always there for you, and they have the knowledge and experience to resolve any problems that arise.

Cuts

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.

Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cutting head uses an easy and affordable oxy-fuel cylinder head. This cuts with oxygen and any other fuel, including propane, natural gas, acetylene and propylene. These gases can be purchased at a very low cost from your supplier and are available for free. Welders with experience in torch cutting will also be able to adjust the flow rates of Oxy-Fuel exactly as they do now.

Frequently Asked Questions

A machine that cuts and trims marble slabs using a combination of a wheel and a gearing.

A beam made from a stiffer, stronger material will produce a beam that's stronger and more rigid. The material property that is measured in terms of stiffness is known as "Youngs Modulus Elasticity".

Steel is stronger than wood pound for pound. It's amazing to see how engineered wood beams have evolved over the past 40-years.

Your coping should be visible enough to make tricks easier but not too much that it blocks your flow. We found that drilling the coping into a parallel-running 2x4 support directly behind it was the best way to fasten it.

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.
