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.
The detailer will then send you a DWG, PLT, or PDF file to use for printing or plotting your drawings. You will also receive the NC1 or NC2 files from your detailer that you can import directly into you machine. Standard on the Voortman is the DSTV-Import feature.
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.
The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Beam Coping Machine (the most affordable beam coper) is the product of a strong, productive collaboration between Voortman and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., the leading manufacturer of structural metal fabricating machinery.
The PCR42 robotic plasma cutter does beam coping and notches, holes, and weld preps. It also splits beams and scribes as well as marks on all four sides of H-beams channels angles, HSS, plates, and H-beams.
We prefer to have the machine installed indoors. However, we do have several Voortman beam cooper installations outside. But the machine and its control panel should be protected from the elements. Contact us for photos of any of our outside installations.
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.
Voortman builds machines specifically for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. to meet our demanding specifications. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. specifically targets the small to medium fabricator whereas Voortman targets the larger fabricators. Voortman has been building machines for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. for more than 10 years, and Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is Voortman largest customer worldwide.
The high quality and speed of plasma cutting heads make them very popular for cutting stainless steel. Plasma heads can't be moved close enough to the flange due to their size. This makes it impossible to use many types of copes normally required in beams.
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam-coping machine's triple torch design allows you to cut two flanges at once. Flange thins can be performed simultaneously on top and bottom flanges. Weld prep can also be done concurrently to keep operating costs low. The ABCM-1250 oxyfuel coper makes it possible to do more close flange cutting without the need for torch probing.
Voortman's dedication to customer service and support is unmatched and the industry standard. Voortman has a worldwide team of customer service representatives who are available 24 hours a day at the Voortman customer support center. Voortman support is just a click or call away. With state-of the-art remote diagnostic software and readily available local field support, as well as an industry-leading warranty, it's easy to get help.
Voortman software offers CAD for custom designs and CAM for nesting. The software can be used with virtually any design or profile, and there is no annual service contract.
Another problem is that the flame can blow back when cutting thicker parts, even with light-wide-flange beams. This can cause damage to the plasma head.
The H beam's cross section is more robust than that of the I beam. This means it can support a heavier load. The cross section of the H beam, on the other hand, can only bear direct load and tensile. However, it cannot resist twisting due to its narrow cross section. It can only bear force in one direction.
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.
A beam made from a stiffer, stronger material will produce a beam that's stronger and more rigid. The material property that is measured in terms of stiffness is known as "Youngs Modulus Elasticity".
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.
The correct answer is "B." 0.2 mm.
