Beam Coping Machine 001
The Voortman CNC Beam Coper is very simple to operate and most of our operators were the men doing layout on the floor. No prior computer knowledge is necessary, and full training is provided at the time of the installation.
AutoCAD is an architectural program that exports flat 2-D pieces of information to plate processing machines. It does not export files for 3-D forms such as beams and angles. AutoCAD exports DWG files and DXF file, which are ideal for plates.
Multiple axis positioning allows top & bottom flanges of the same axis to be cut simultaneously. You can easily flange bevel in weld prep by using pivoting torches that are programmed to the miter position.
Not every problem can be diagnosed with remote assistance. Mechanical issues or questions that require the human eye are still common. Voortman machines are shipped with high definition web cameras and software; allowing Voortman employees to directly experience the activity at the installation without the need to leave the office. The webcam has significant value in foreign countries or in situations where language might be a barrier to effectively communicate the issue.
We offer service for all types of structural steel fabrication machinery, such as beam coping and other machines. Get in touch with us to arrange a service time.
Voortman's Voortman is made exclusively for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. Voortman manages the installation, warranty and maintenance of the Voortman. Voortman is the service provider. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. will always be there to help if needed.
The most important factor is, of course, cost. Plasma cutting produces extremely carcinogenic dust, which must be captured in a dust extraction filtering device. The cost of enclosing the machine completely to evacuate the dust increases the cost far beyond what a typical fabricator would be willing to pay for a beam-coping solution.
The Voortman beam copier machine is very simple and has few moving parts. This makes maintenance very affordable. Voortman's components are sourced from the major manufacturers. Voortman stocks all parts for next day delivery in America. We offer local support in many of our overseas countries.
Voortman's Raptor 3DCAD/CAM Software is a revolutionary tool that allows users to program CNC faster and more accurately. You can view, modify, export and export parts information right from the 3D platform. This technology is combined with Voortman CNC technology gives fabricators maximum productivity.
This plasma drilling machine has been designed to incorporate as many fabrication functions as possible into one machine. The PCR41 is able to produce completely finished parts at the lowest possible manufacturing costs. This machine automates all cutting operations typically performed and structural steel.
Voortman Technical Support Office is available round the clock and always happy to answer questions, regardless of how simple or difficult.
In the structural steel and plate fabrication industry, coping refers to the process of making relief cuts in the beam so that it will fit with other components of the framework. While coping can be done with a handheld torch, a lot of professional structural steel fabricators will use a beam coping machine to improve precision and speed up production. In fact, those who are in the know about Voortman have a distinct advantage over competitors thanks to the remarkable benefits this industry-leading CNC beam coping machine delivers.
The triple torch design of the ABCM-1250 CNC beam coping machine allows for the cutting of two flanges simultaneously. While flange thins are performed on both top and bottom flanges at the same time, weld prep is generated concurrently, keeping operating costs at a minimum. Without tedious torch probing processes, the ABCM-1250 oxy-fuel coper allows for more near flange cutting.

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.
