Automation Equipment
The Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. CNC Beam Coping Machine, which is the best-selling beam coper in the market, is the result a strong collaboration with Voortman (the number one structural steel fabricating machine manufacturer).
The Voortman beam copier machine is very simple and has few moving parts. This makes maintenance very affordable. Voortman's components are sourced from the major manufacturers. Voortman stocks all parts for next day delivery in America. We offer local support in many of our overseas countries.
These features were designed to increase cut precision and are not available on all beam coping machines. Voortman includes them as standard.
Voortman offers training courses at their Bradley Illinois facility on all Voortman equipment. These courses are for both new and experienced operators. The facility's graduates return to their shops highly motivated, trained, and ready to increase productivity. For pricing and details, please call.
It is better to import files directly into your steel detailing software. This is a distinction that can be distinguished into two camps:
This highly versatile profile cutting machine can cut just about anything you can draw. It not only handles, but can be cut to any length.
Our Robotic Coping & Profiling system can be used to automate the fabrication processes of metalwork manufacturers and fabricators. It can work with various angles, beam drill lines and hydraulic punches. This is a simple way to increase the efficiency of your fabrication process from zero to 100!
Dragon's front-position gate and chuck can be easily adjusted, making it simple to set up and load different materials and shapes.

The PCR42 robot plasma steel cutting tool is our most advanced solution. It combines CNC plasma cutting technology with torch technology. Fully automated robotics and laser measurement systems make it possible to create a fully robotic plasma. Copi...
Three torches allow simultaneous oxy-fuel cutting, resulting in unbeatable speed and efficiency. The ABCM-1250 CNC beam cutter machine is capable both of mitering as well beveled weld preparation at the top or bottom flanges.
Software falling under this category includes X-Steel (SDS/2), Tekla Structures (StruCAD), DetailCAD and SteelCAD. All 3-D modeling software exports the DSTV file which is then seamlessly imported into Voortman.
Voortman’s Roller Feed Measuring System surpasses industry standards in roller measurement technology. Accuracy in measurement is vital to avoid any production delays. Even with material deviations, accuracy cannot be compromised.
Structural steel is used in the construction of just about every kind of structure, including buildings, bridges, and ships. And, of course, designs of these structures can vary greatly. To precisely match specifications outlined in blueprints, steel beams must be fabricated to perfection. In addition to being cut to size and thickness, steel beams often.
Continuous: A beam that extends over more than two supports. Cantilever: A beam that projects from one end and is fixed at the other. The support on the opposite end of the beam is not needed. We will examine some classic beam loading examples. This simple beam has two supports and a centre load.
To increase your beam's bending capability, you will need to increase the second moment (I) if your beam design is controlled by yielding in bend (not lateral-torsional or plate buckling). This is usually done by attaching additional plates to your beam, often onto the flanges.
These answers will help you determine if your coping mechanism can be adaptive. This generally means that it creates positive patterns that add value to your life and are sustainable and support long-term happiness and health. ... Task-oriented coping. ... Emotion-oriented coping. ... Avoidance.
Fixed connections, pinned and roller connections are the most popular types of support in beams and structures that connect to their foundation. You can see any of these supports at any point along the length of a structural component.
Miters do all the cutting. The hardest part of mitering is measuring accurately and cutting the molding to the right length. Handsaws are perfect for precise cuts and special techniques.
