The ABCM-1250 CNC beam coping tool can help you achieve miter and straight cuts at new heights. Combine the ABCM-1250 with Voortman's automatic cutting systems to create separate beams and place them in-line in record time.
It is an amazingly economical 5-axis CNC robotic oxy-fuel cutting beam coper that will enable you to make any type of cut on beams, channels, angels, plates, and rectangular tubes. Literally anything that you can draw, can be cut by this superbly versatile profile cutting machine. Not only does it cope, but it cuts to length too!
Robotic Coping and Profiling can make your fabrication process more efficient. This system has been specifically designed for metalworkers and fabricators. It is able to work with angle lines, beam drilllines, hydraulic punches, ironworkers and band saws. This is a great way to improve your fabrication processes by taking them from zero to one hundred.
Of course, the most important reason is price. High-carcinogenic dust from plasma cutting must be collected in a dust extraction filtering unit. The price of fully enclosing the machine to evacuate dust is much higher than what a typical fabricator can afford for a beam handling solution.
AKYAPAK provides an advanced solution to the steel construction industry once again... High processing speed and high performance with AFD upto 1000x1500 mm, 40"x60" materials.
Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line was a tool that allowed for affordable automation of angles and beams in small to medium-sized fabricators. Voortman's CNC Beam Drill Line also brought automated beam coping to smaller shops.
To prevent material from slipping, hardened hydraulic jaws are equipped with a piston. AFD Flange and Plate Drilling Machine can drill, tab, turn, mill, mark with scribing and mark using dot. (optional).
We can assure you that the Robotic coping/profiler machine has passed all critical fabrication tests: hardness, surface texture and beam flange access hole quality. It also successfully scaled bolt hole sizing and positioning. We have made available, through our stocking, the Voortman CNC Coping and Profiling machine. It is made to an exceptional standard for you, hence its extraordinary capacities.
Structural Steel is used for the construction of nearly every type of structure including bridges and buildings. The designs of these structures are subject to considerable variation. Steel beams must meet exact specifications as outlined in blueprints. Steel beams need to be cut to the proper size and thickness.
AutoCAD is an architectural software that can export flat 2-D parts to plate processing machines. The only problem is its inability to export files for 3D shapes, such as beams, channels, angles, and so on. AutoCAD can export DWG files as well as DXF files. This is great for plates.
Programming the CNC Beam Coping Machine is extremely simple, even if done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat. Most operators will be able to program most of the parts in no more than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best method to program the machine is by import parts directly from an CAD drawing. These files can then be imported directly to the machine. Sometimes the operator will need to edit a part program to ensure smooth cuts. In these cases, he simply selects the part that he wants to process and hits the Cycle Star button.
Even if you are programming the CNC Beam Coping Machine manually, it is easy to program. Programming the machine is easy with Peddimat. Most operators can program most parts in under an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. It is best to program the machine by importing parts directly from a 3D CAD drawing. This should be done using software like StruMis, ProSteel 3D and StruMis. These files are directly imported into the machine. In some cases, the operator may have to edit the part programming to create a guide out for smooth cutting. After selecting the part to process, he presses the Cycle start button.

This allows them to be familiar with all types of machines. Voortman has a service team that is available 24/7 to answer your questions.
We also provide service for all structural steel fabrication machinery, including beam coping machines. Contact us to schedule a service date today.
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.
Steel is stronger than wood pound for pound. It's amazing to see how engineered wood beams have evolved over the past 40-years.
Reinforced concrete beams can be made by embedding steel bars along the lengths of structural members to increase their tensile strength. These beams are the most popular.
Prices for steel I-beams range from $6 to $20 per ft. Materials only. ... Steel I beams price list by length. Steel I-Beam Length Prices 10 feet 60 - $180 20ft $120 – $360 30ft $180 – $540 40ft $240 – $720
Fret Saws are also known as Jeweler's Saws. They are smaller than Coping Saws. They have shorter blades and are designed for maneuverability and quick turns. They can be used for metal work and woodwork if the blade is right.
