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’s software includes CAD for custom designs, CAM for nesting, and CNC for automated operations. The software is compatible with nearly any design or profile and requires no annual service contract.
A single torch CNC beam coping machine is a 5-axis machine that uses only one torch to do all the coping. When coping a beam, the single torch will start cutting at the web and then move on to the flanges. It moves from the web to each flange in sequence. The 5-axis torch is able to move in an almost infinite number of directions and positions, allowing the most complex of copes. The 5-axis torch and will accomplish double miter/bevel cuts on both flange and web – something that multi-torch systems are unable to do.
The CNC Beam Coping Machine programming is simple, even when done manually. Programming of the CNC Beam Coping Machine is simple with Peddimat. Most operators are able to program most parts in less that an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best way is to program your machine from a CAD file. It's recommended that you use a 3-D modeling program such as ProSteel 3D, StruMis, Tekla Structures or SDS/2. These files can be directly imported into your machine. In certain cases, an operator might have to edit the program to ensure smooth cut. Once the lead has been created, the operator selects the part to be used and clicks on the Cycle Start button.
Dragon's front gate and chuck are easily adjustable. This makes it easy to load and set up different sizes and shapes of materials.

Voortman's commitment and dedication to support and service is legendary. They are the industry's standard. Voortman employs a global team to support customers. They are always available at the Voortman 24-hour customer support center. Voortman offers support via a world-class remote diagnostic tool, available local support and a warranty that is unmatched in the industry.
Dragon's front position gate is and chuck is easily adjustable, making it easy to load or set up materials of different shapes and sizes.
We have installed over 1000 CNC beam lines, angle lines, and other lines all over the world. It has been our experience that the average operator can program a machine in under half an hour.
Our office hours are from 8am to 5pm Eastern Time. We are familiar with every aspect of the machine. Technical support is available at any hour during business hours.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine uses Oxy-fuel. Therefore, the thickness of materials is not important. Material up to 6" can be handled.
Your detailer will then give you a DWG/PLT/PDF file which you will use to plot or print your drawings. He will also send you the NC1 files to be imported directly into your machine. Voortman's Voortman includes the DSTV import function.
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam coping machines have a triple torch design that allows you to simultaneously cut two flanges. Flange thins can simultaneously be performed on top and bottom of flanges. However, weld preparation is done concurrently which reduces operating costs. The ABCM-1250 Ox-fuel Coper is a quick and easy way to cut near the flanges without having to torch probe.
Our office hours run from 8am to 5pm Eastern Time. We are experts in all aspects of the machine. We welcome technical support calls anytime during our business hours.
In many types of structures, material strength is more important than weight. I-beams, which look like a capital "I", in cross-section, are often used in bridges and buildings. Although it is lighter and heavier than a regular beam, an I-beam is almost as strong and rigid.
A coping, an architectural construction that is placed on top of a wall then runs down its sides, encasing bricks and providing weather protection, is called a coping. A capping is a covering that sits on top of the wall, with its edges aligned to the wall's width.
1- T beams have a greater second moment inertia than ordinary beams. This means they are more resistant to bending.
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.
Continuous: A beam that extends over more than two supports. Cantilever: A beam that projects from one end and is fixed at the other. The support on the opposite end of the beam is not needed. We will examine some classic beam loading examples. This simple beam has two supports and a centre load.
