Beam Coping Machine Gundam

Voortman can handle nearly every type of structural steel fabrication, from shaping beams and plate to coping reliefs and custom profiles. In fact, this state-of-the-art CNC beam coping machine can replace the punches, drill lines, band saws, coping and grinding stations, and layout and marking stations in your shop, freeing up valuable space and allowing you to maintain a lean workforce—Voortman requires only one technician to operate. The benefits of Voortman are many and include better quality work, faster turnarounds, and reduced waste.

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.

Once you have created a DXF IMPORT COMPLIANT AutoCAD file, you then import it via the DXF-Import Utility (optional purchase)

The CNC Beam Coping Machine (also known as the Beam Coping Machine) is the most cost-effective beam coper on the market. It is the result of strong and productive cooperation with Voortman - the top manufacturer of structural steel fabricating machines.

This profile-cutting machine can easily cut almost any drawing you can think of. This machine can not only cope but it can also cut to length!

The Voortman requires roller conveyors to move the steel through the machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. supplies a modular system made specifically for the machine. This modular system is called the Ocean Eliminator and features in-feed and out-feed powered roller conveyors, as well as powered lift and carry cross transfers.

AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machine can drill from 6 to 80mm, 1/4" to 3-1/8", within its own work area. Material is fixed to the table using hydraulic clamping jaws by driving it on balls. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.

The basic unit is a semi-automatic, oxy-fuel coping machine. The operator positions the workpiece, finetunes it, starts the cut and adjusts the torch height while cutting. (There is an automated option for a laser to auto probe and set the torch height.) The basic unit comes with powered conveyors where the operator manually measures and marks the X length on the feed stock prior to cutting. (There is also an optional automated measuring system via Laser measuring of the feed stock.) The interface allows the operator to input material type to be cut. The operator scrolls through a list of options via pictorial representations on the computer touch screen. The computer is programmed with all the AISC structural steel dimensions. A fully dimensioned cope drawing is displayed simplifying programing, saving time and minimizing operator input error. The operator can override and customize the input as needed, and it can be stored as a new program, if desired. The machine can also be pre-programmed from the office through DSTV exported drawings. There is a wireless remote control that the operator uses to start, stop and operate the equipment. This allows the Operator to freely walk around viewing from any angle needed to verify operations and maintain accuracy. The operator makes his mark on the material, moves the material into position, and hydraulically clamps the material to be cut into place. The operator lines the laser to the mark and begins the cycle. The torch ignites, pre-heating the material. The operator manually initiates the cutting process and finishes the cut as he maintains the proper torch height.

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.
