Structural Steel Fabrication
Voortman’s software includes CAD for custom designs, CAM for nesting, and CNC for automated operations. The software is compatible with nearly any design or profile and requires no annual service contract.
With Voortman, a profile of the cope can be uploaded to the CNC software from the built-in shape library or CAD. The user-friendly interface will then allow you to manually calibrate cutting tolerances, nest parts for coping, and track robotic cutting paths before the work begins so that any mistakes can be avoided. Then, the material simply needs to be loaded and the start button pressed for Voortman to begin coping with perfection.
The Voortman beam handling machine is simple with few moving parts. It makes it easy to maintain and very economical. Voortman was specifically designed to be used around the globe and uses only components made by major manufacturers. However, many of the parts can be purchased locally. Voortman maintains all parts in stock so that they can be delivered next day to the USA. In many countries, we offer support and local service.
All of your 3D coping and profiling is made easier with us using our top of the range coping and profiling robot. These Robotic Coping and Profiling beams are not only reliable but are designed for capacities which include cutting saddles, chamlers and slots respectively.
Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine uses Oxy-fuel. Therefore, the thickness of materials is not important. Material up to 6" can be handled.
Voortman has been built for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. only. Voortman takes care of installation, warranty work and service. Voortman provides the service, but Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. is available to assist if required.
FANUC robot arm features six axes. It is able to bevel 360°. This makes it quick and easy to create any profile, coping beams, plates or pipes. Hydraulic clamps stop round materials rotating during processing. This flexibility is paired with Hypertherm XDefinition plasma's superior power.
A CNC beam coping tool is safer than a handheld torch. The machine can also be controlled remotely from the operator. This allows him to stay further away than the flame.
The ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutting machine features a triple torch design which allows simultaneous cutting of two different flanges. Flange thins on both the top and bottom end of the flanges are done simultaneously. This reduces operating expenses. The ABCM-1250 is an oxy-fuel coper that allows for easier near-flange cuts without lengthy torch probing.
Voortman's commitment and dedication to support and service is legendary. They are the industry's standard. Voortman employs a global team to support customers. They are always available at the Voortman 24-hour customer support center. Voortman offers support via a world-class remote diagnostic tool, available local support and a warranty that is unmatched in the industry.
A CNC beam-coping machine is safer than using handheld torch. The machine can be operated remotely by the operator, which makes it possible to move the operator away from the cutting flame.
Voortman CNC Beam Coper works very well and was used by most of our floor operators. The installation requires no prior computer knowledge.
Voortman uses an extremely durable torch nozzle. This varies with how hot it is. It is nearly impossible to bend the torchnozzle due to its break-away head, which deflects the torchnozzle. But, eventually the nozzles will wear down due to heat from the gases passing through them. Replacement torch tips cost around $75 per tip.
Software included in this group includes X-Steel. SDS/2. Tekla Structures. StruCAD. DetailCAD. SteelCAD. ProSteel 3-D. All three-dimensional modeling programs export the DSTV format that can be easily imported into Voortman.
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.
A continuous beam with two spans is the simplest statically undeterminate structure. It contains only one indeterminacy but it exhibits the basic characteristics of a statically uncertain structure.
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
Steel is stronger than wood pound for pound. It's amazing to see how engineered wood beams have evolved over the past 40-years.
What are some examples of coping strategies you might use? Avoidance, seeking support, drug and/or alcohol abuse, journaling and procrastination are all examples of coping strategies.
