Coping Machine Meaning
Programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine is very simple and intuitive even for operators with no CNC or computer experience.
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.
Multiple axis positioning allows top and bottom flanges can be cut simultaneously. Pivoting torches can be used to flange bevel for welding prep.
Voortman uses long torch nozzles to reach inside Flanges. These sizes can be ordered depending on the thickness of the material being cut. These torch tips can also have a gas specific designation so please let us understand what gas you are using.
Dragon's front gate and chuck are easily adjustable. This makes it easy to load and set up different sizes and shapes of materials.
AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machine can drill from 6 to 80mm, 1/4" to 3-1/8", within its own work area. Material is fixed to the table using hydraulic clamping jaws by driving it on balls. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.
METEOR-1200 can reduce the time it takes to drill or on-site assembly. METEOR-1200 can drill beams, angles and flat sheets of any geometry. The state-of-art control system allows you to mill slots, pockets, and any other geometry.
The factory trained service tech will spend about 5 days at your site installing the machine, calibrating it, and re-training operators. This will give you more than enough hands-on experience, and also help with troubleshooting, maintenance, and diagnostic training.
The Voortman comes with a 12-month parts and labor warranty. Factory service technicians will repair or replace your Voortman Beam Coping Machine if it breaks down within the warranty period.
And of course the most important reason is cost. Cutting steel with plasma produces highly carcinogenic dust that MUST be captured in a dust extraction filtering system. This as well as the cost to completely enclose the machine to evacuate the dust raises the price to far beyond what our typical fabricator is prepared to pay for a beam coping solution.
“.. in the two and a half years we have had an Voortman, the efficiency and quality of the preparation procedures for our product has been drastically increased. Coping and weld prep of the past was very time consuming. Manually laying out and burning left a lot to be desired. With the Liberator, the burns are much cleaner, reducing grind time dramatically. The Liberator is a compact machine that delivers big results. All in all, Ocean has provided an opportunity to save time and energy, which equals out to saving money and our customers get a quality product.”
WTD is back, with extended dates. Now visitors have five days of access to our member's extensive showrooms, and the latest technology. There is no other event that has such a broad display of woodworking equipment. Each location also features live demonstrations.
Using a CNC beam coping machine is actually safer than using a handheld torch. The operator is able to operate the machine remotely and this moves the operator further removed from the cutting flame.
The Voortman requires roller conveyors to move the steel through the machine. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. supplies a modular system made specifically for the machine. This modular system is called the Ocean Eliminator and features in-feed and out-feed powered roller conveyors, as well as powered lift and carry cross transfers.
Coping is a process that allows a beam to fit into other parts of a framework.
There are several types of beam structures Continuous beams. Continuous beams are those that have two or more supports to reinforce the beam. ... Simply supported beams Simply supported beams have support at one end and both ends. ... Fixed beams ... Overhanging beams. ... Cantilever beam.
The beams are structural elements that move loads from the slab to columns. Transfer beams are used to transfer load from one load-bearing wall into another. They are usually horizontal members. A beam's purpose is to support walls and avoid concrete slab loading.
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.
When you are assembling a coping-saw, ensure that the teeth point towards the handle. The teeth will cut if you pull the saw rather than pushing it. This will improve accuracy and prevent your saw from breaking. It will also keep your wood from chipping.
