Beam Coping Machine How To Use

The basic unit is an oxy-fuel, semi-automatic coping machine. The operator places the workpiece and finetunes it before starting the cutting. An automated laser option is available to automatically probe the workpiece and adjust the torch height. The basic unit includes powered conveyors that allow the operator to manually measure and mark the length of the feed stock before cutting. Optional automated measuring system using Laser measurement of feed stock is available. Operators can input the material type they wish to cut via the interface. The computer touch screen allows the operator to scroll through a selection of options using pictorial representations. All dimensions of the AISC structural steel are programmed into the computer. The computer displays a fully dimensioned cope drawing, which simplifies programming and minimizes operator error. Operators can modify and override the input, and it can also be saved as a new program, as desired. You can pre-programme the machine from your office using DSTV exported drawings. The operator can use a wireless remote to control the equipment. The Operator can view the equipment from any angle he needs to ensure accuracy and verify operations. The operator marks the material and moves it into position. Finally, hydraulically clamps the material for cutting. The laser is aligned to the operator's mark by the operator and the cycle begins. The torch is ignited, pre-heating material. Operator initiates and finishes the cutting process manually, ensuring that the torch height is maintained.

The Robotic Coping/Profiling system is an equivalent of an automated fabrication process. It can handle the following processes: beam drill lines, angle lines, hydraulic punches and ironworkers. This is just one way to make your fabrication processes more efficient.

Hardened hydraulic jaws with piston helps to fix material to prevent faults. AFD Flange and Plate Drilling Machine is able to drill, tab, mill, mark with scribing and mark with dot.(optional).

This profile-cutting machine can easily cut almost any drawing you can think of. This machine can not only cope but it can also cut to length!

APC 1200, a fully upgraded unit, is available in addition to the basic unit. It is capable of oxy-fuel cutting and plasma combination, both with the torches mounted on a pivoting cylinder head. They can switch between them electronically in under a second and without any need to be done manually. The Plasma is used most of the time to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed with the ability to automatically switch over to Oxy Fuel if there is a material thickness that exceeds the Plasma's cut capacity. The laser probing is included in this upgraded unit.

Cost is the main reason. The plasma cutting of steel produces a lot of carcinogenic dust which MUST be collected in a dust extraction filtering system. This, along with the additional cost to fully enclose the machine in order to evacuate dust, raises the price far beyond what the average fabricator will pay for a beam coping system.

The Voortman beam coping machine is a very simple machine with very few moving parts, making maintenance and parts exceptionally affordable. The Voortman was designed specifically to be used throughout the world and thus uses only components from major manufacturers, most of which can be sourced in the local market. Voortman keeps all parts on hand for next day delivery in the USA. In most of our overseas countries we offer local service and support.
