Voortman's software has CAD to create custom designs, CAM to nest, and CNC to automate operations. The software is compatible to almost all designs and profiles, and doesn't require an annual service agreement.

Although 90% of support issues can be resolved by Voortman’ 24 Hour Tech Support center, an expansive network of 50+ Voortman field service personnel are stationed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand.

Because of their high quality and fast cutting speed, plasma heads are extremely popular for cutting steel. Plasma heads are too large to fit into the flange. Many of the copes required for beams are not possible because of this.

Plasma heads are popular because of the quality and speed with which they can be used to cut steel. Plasma heads cannot cut close to the flange because they are too large. There are many styles of copes that can be used in beams, but it is impossible with them.

Beam Coping Machine How To Use

Beam Coping Machine How To Use

The Voortman beam handling machine is simple with few moving parts. It makes it easy to maintain and very economical. Voortman was specifically designed to be used around the globe and uses only components made by major manufacturers. However, many of the parts can be purchased locally. Voortman maintains all parts in stock so that they can be delivered next day to the USA. In many countries, we offer support and local service.

A factory trained service technician will spend around 5 days on-site installing your machine and calibrating it. This will give you hands-on training, troubleshooting, and diagnostics.

Beam Coper

Voortman can help you reduce your production time by up to 80%. This is a great return on investment. We offer turnkey training and installation anywhere in the U.S. for this industry-leading beam coping device.

Along with the basic unit that has some optional upgrade features, there is also the fully upgraded APC 1200. It has combination plasma and oxy-fuel cutting with both torches mounted on a pivoting head. They will flip one to the other interchangeably via computer control in a second without having to do anything manually. The machine is operated primarily with the Plasma to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed to automatically switch to the Oxy Fuel when the material thickness is beyond the cutting capacity of the Plasma. This upgraded unit comes standard with the laser probing for automatic height adjustment.

Beam Coping Machine Definition

A CNC beam coping device is much safer than using a handheld torch. Remote control of the machine is possible, which allows the operator to work further from the cutting torch.

The basic unit is an oxy-fuel, semi-automatic coping machine. The operator places the workpiece and finetunes it before starting the cutting. An automated laser option is available to automatically probe the workpiece and adjust the torch height. The basic unit includes powered conveyors that allow the operator to manually measure and mark the length of the feed stock before cutting. Optional automated measuring system using Laser measurement of feed stock is available. Operators can input the material type they wish to cut via the interface. The computer touch screen allows the operator to scroll through a selection of options using pictorial representations. All dimensions of the AISC structural steel are programmed into the computer. The computer displays a fully dimensioned cope drawing, which simplifies programming and minimizes operator error. Operators can modify and override the input, and it can also be saved as a new program, as desired. You can pre-programme the machine from your office using DSTV exported drawings. The operator can use a wireless remote to control the equipment. The Operator can view the equipment from any angle he needs to ensure accuracy and verify operations. The operator marks the material and moves it into position. Finally, hydraulically clamps the material for cutting. The laser is aligned to the operator's mark by the operator and the cycle begins. The torch is ignited, pre-heating material. Operator initiates and finishes the cutting process manually, ensuring that the torch height is maintained.

APC 1200, a fully upgraded unit, is available in addition to the basic unit. It is capable of oxy-fuel cutting and plasma combination, both with the torches mounted on a pivoting cylinder head. They can switch between them electronically in under a second and without any need to be done manually. The Plasma is used most of the time to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed with the ability to automatically switch over to Oxy Fuel if there is a material thickness that exceeds the Plasma's cut capacity. The laser probing is included in this upgraded unit.

Voortman software offers CAD for custom designs and CAM for nesting. The software can be used with virtually any design or profile, and there is no annual service contract.

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.
