Beam Coping Machine Attachment

Programming of the CNC Beam Coping Machine is very simple even when done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat and most operators can learn how to program most parts in less than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. However the best way to program the machine is to import parts directly from a CAD drawing preferably done in some 3-D modeling software such as Tekla Structures, SDS/2, ProSteel 3D, StruMis etc. These files import directly into the machine. In some cases the operator might need to edit the part program to create a lead out to ensure smooth cutting and then he merely selects the part to be processed and hits the Cycle Start button.

"..in the two and half years we've had a Voortman the efficiency of the preparation processes for our product has been dramatically increased. The old method of handling and welding preparation was tedious. Manually laying out, and burning, left much to be desired. The Liberator burns much cleaner and takes up less time. The Liberator can be compact and still deliver big results. Ocean has offered a way to save time and money. Our customers also get a quality product.

Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line and Voortman CNC Drill Line introduced affordable automation to beams and angles for small-to-medium fabricators. Voortman Liberator is similar in that it allows automated beam coping into shops that might not otherwise have considered it.

We have used more than 1000 CNC beam lines and angles lines around the globe and have found that even if the operator has never programmed a machine before they can be productive on it in less than half an hour.

Voortman Technical Support Office is available round the clock and always happy to answer questions, regardless of how simple or difficult.

Voortman lets you upload a profile for the cope to the CNC software using the built-in shape libraries or CAD. It is easy to calibrate cutting tolerances and nest parts for coping. You can also track the path of robotic cutting before it starts so you can avoid making mistakes. Voortman will then be able to start coping with perfect material by simply loading it and pressing the Start button.

Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated, highly trained and eager to improve their productivity. Call for pricing and details.

After creating a DXF import COMPLIANT AutoCAD file you can then import it using the DXF Import Utility (optional purchase).
