Beam Coping Standards

The basic unit consists of a semi-automatic, oxygen-fuel coping device. Operator positions the workpiece, adjusts the torch height, and fine tunes it. There is also an automated option that allows the laser to probe the area and set its torch height automatically. The basic unit is equipped with powered conveyors. This allows the operator to measure and mark the feedstock's X length before it can be cut. An optional automated measuring system can be added via Laser measurement of the feed stock. The operator can input the type of material to be cut using the interface. The computer touch screen displays a list of choices that the operator can scroll through. The computer has all dimensions for the AISC structural metal. It is possible to program the computer with a fully dimensioned handle drawing. This simplifies the process and reduces errors. The operator can customize and override any input and save it as a new programme, if necessary. The machine can be programmed remotely using DSTV exported drawing. Operators can control the equipment using a wireless remote. This allows the operator to view from any angle necessary to inspect operations and keep accuracy. The operator places his mark on the material, moves it into place, clamps hydraulically the material to be cut, and then checks for accuracy. The laser is aligned by the operator, and the cycle starts. The torch lights, preheating the material. The operator initiates the cutting process by hand and completes the job as long as the torch height remains constant.

Voortman technicians can often work remotely from their computers to solve any problems you might have. Voortman technicians only need an internet connection to be able to use your control like he were there with you. Voortman equipment is equipped with a Powerful Windows (r)-based Siemens control, which allows for this capability. This platform also offers superior diagnostics.

At the time of machine installation our factory trained service tech will spend approximately 5 days on site, installing your machine, calibrating it and re-training your operators. This will provide more than enough hands on operation, as well as maintenance, troubleshooting and diagnostic training.

Although we would prefer the machine to remain indoors, many Voortman beam coper installation are outside. However, the machine must be protected from the elements. To see photos from our many outside installations, please feel free to contact me.

Can you use hacksaw as a coping saw

We have successfully installed over a thousand CNC beam and angle lines all around the globe. Our experience has shown that an average operator who has never programmed before can get the machine up and running in less time than one and a half days.

The detailer will then send you a DWG, PLT, or PDF file to use for printing or plotting your drawings. You will also receive the NC1 or NC2 files from your detailer that you can import directly into you machine. Standard on the Voortman is the DSTV-Import feature.

Do you push or pull a coping saw

Voortman CNC Beam coping machine's cutting head is an inexpensive and simple oxy-fuel head. It uses oxygen and any fuel you choose, such as propane, acetylene or propylene. These gases are inexpensive and readily available from your welding supplier. Welders who are familiar with torch cutting will be able set the flow rates of the Oxyfuel just like they are used too.

Another issue is that plasma heads can be damaged if the flame blows back when cutting thicker sections of material, even with wide-flange beams.

3 Beam Clamp

A 5-axis single torch CNC beam-coping machine is a machine that uses only one torch for all coping. One torch can be used to cope a beam. The torch will cut the web, then move on the flanges. It moves from one end of the web to the other in a sequential fashion. The 5-axis torch can move in an almost unlimited number of directions and places, making it possible for even the most difficult of jobs. The 5-axis torch allows for double miter/bevel cut on both flanges and web, something that multi-torch units are unable to do.

Voortman service technicians do not often have to be at your computer to fix any issues you may have. Voortman technicians will be able operate your control with an internet connection. Voortman equipment features a Powerful Windowsr-based Siemens control. It allows for this capability as well as superior diagnostics via Windowsr.

Fixed connections, pinned and roller connections are the most popular types of support in beams and structures that connect to their foundation. You can see any of these supports at any point along the length of a structural component.

H-Beams. H-beams are one of the strongest steel beams. It is composed of horizontal elements and the web by vertical beams. Popular in civil engineering and construction, the web and flanges create a cross section that is similar to the shape of the letter H.
