Beam Coping Machine Gun Kelly

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.

Although we prefer the machine to be installed indoors, there are several Voortman beam copier installations outside. The machine and control panel must have adequate weather protection. For photos of many of our outdoor installations, please contact us.

What are the two basic forms of coping

Voortman is able to cut steel beams into copes much faster than your layoutman. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Line, and the Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line introduced affordable automation of angles and beams to small-to mid-sized fabricators. The Voortman brings automated beam coping to shops otherwise unimaginable.

This CNC beam cutter with single torch reduces the time and effort required to lay out your handles.

In the same way that the Voortman CNC Beam Drill Line and the Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line brought affordable automation of beams and angles to the small-to-medium fabricator, the Voortman Liberator similarly brings automated beam coping into shops that otherwise could never have considered it.

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.

Voortman’s Roller Feed Measuring Technology exceeds the industry standard. It is important to maintain accurate measurements without hesitation during production. Even though there may be slight deviations in the material, accuracy should not be compromised.

Voortman designs machines to meet our strict specifications. Voortman focuses on larger fabricators while Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is a machine manufacturer that targets small-medium fabricators. Voortman has been building machines in Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s shop for over 10 years. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is Voortman's biggest customer.

Time

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.

"..the Liberator's time saved for cutting beams, we can also add the time it takes to fit 2 pieces together perfectly so that no additional trimming or extra work is required. We do not need to fill gaps in welding. We save time both in the fitting and welding. "The Liberator saved me so much time and grey hair. It's worth it!"

Cnc Beam

Another drawback is that when cutting thicker areas of a part, even on light wide-flange beams, for instance the radius at the intersection of the web and the flange, it is typical for the flame to blow back, and this can and cause damage to the plasma head.

"..the Liberator cuts the beam in half, and it also fits 2 pieces together with such precision that no trimming is necessary. We are no longer filling in gaps when welding. We can save both time and effort when fitting and welding the structure. The Liberator has saved me a lot of grey hair, which is priceless!

If there are any concerns about the standards of our Robotic profiling and coping machine, we can assure that it has passed all vital fabrication tests such as hardness, surface textures, beam flange hole quality, bolt holes sizing, positioning, and perpendicularity. As per usual, we have made the Voortman CNC coping/profiler machine available from our stock. This machine is of exceptional quality and has outstanding capabilities.

Voortman can cut your steel beams' copes faster than your layoutman can layout them. Similar to how the Voortman CNC Drill Line and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Angle Line provided affordable automation of beams, angles and beams for small-to medium fabricators, so the Voortman also brings automated beam coping to shops that they otherwise wouldn't have considered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coping saws, hand saws that have a distinctive U-shaped shape, are used to make curved cuts in thinner materials at home or in the shop.

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.

Preheat the I-beam using the torch flame. To start cutting, grab the torch trigger and hold it. Holding the torch trigger, point it at the outer edge to cut along the line. You can stop if necessary and then continue where you left off.

Weiten identified four types of coping strategies. They are: problem-focused (adaptive cognitive), appraisal-focused (adaptive behavioral), emotion focused (emotion-focused) and occupation-focused. Billings and Moos also added avoidance coping to the list of emotion-focused coping.

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.
