".. over the past two and a quarter years, we have seen a dramatic improvement in the efficiency and quality the preparation of our product. It was difficult to cope with and prepare for welds in the past. Manually laying out and burning leaves much to be desired. The Liberator is much more efficient and leaves you with a cleaner burn. The Liberator delivers big results in a small machine. Ocean has given us the opportunity to save energy and time, which in turn means that we can offer our customers a better product and a lower price.

Because we care about making fabrication tasks smooth and efficient, this Robotic Coping and Profiling beam was created. It is capable of processing square tubes, channel bars, angle bars, square tubes, but also pipes, T-bars, plates, and bulbs. Our Coping and profiling robots can perform a wide variety of functions on your pipe cuts/profiles. They are an efficient tooling system with unmatched quality. These outputs may be H, T beams, U or L channels.

".. In the two-and-a half years that we have had a Voortman, both the efficiency and the quality of our product preparation has been greatly improved. The past process of weld preparation and handling was time-consuming. Manually burning and laying out the material left much to be desired. The Liberator makes it much easier to burn, and reduces grind time. The Liberator is small and compact, but it delivers great results. Ocean has allowed us to save both time and energy. This allows us to make more money, and also ensures that our customers receive a high-quality product.

This versatile profile cutter can cut virtually any shape you can imagine. It can also be used to cut lengths!

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.

The cutting head for the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine is a simple and inexpensive oxy-fuel head, and utilizes oxygen and any fuel of your choice, including propane, acetylene, propylene, or natural gas. These gases are very inexpensive and freely available from your welding supplier, and welders familiar with hand torch cutting will be able to set up the flow rates of the Oxy-Fuel just as they are used to doing.

Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line, Voortman CNC Beam Drill Line, and Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line made it possible to automate beams and angles at a reasonable cost for the small-tomedium fabricator. Now the Voortman Liberty allows automated beam handling in shops that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it.

Flame Cutting

"..the Liberator helps us save time cutting the beam. We also get to save time fitting the 2 pieces together. It does this so well that there is no need for additional trimming. We can no longer fill gaps when we weld. We save time on both the fitting of the structure and the welding. The Liberator saves me time, and I'm not even referring to the grey hairs.

Voortman allows you to upload a profile of your cope from either the built-in shape library, or CAD into the CNC software. You can then manually calibrate the cutting tolerances, nest parts to cope, and track robotic cutting routes before work starts. Voortman can then begin to work with perfection by simply loading the material and pressing the start button.

Voortman was built only for Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. Voortman is responsible for the installation, warranty, and service of the Voortman. Voortman handles the installation, warranty and service work on the Voortman. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. can also be contacted if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

In many types of structures, material strength is more important than weight. I-beams, which look like a capital "I", in cross-section, are often used in bridges and buildings. Although it is lighter and heavier than a regular beam, an I-beam is almost as strong and rigid.

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

Coping refers to the material used for a pool wall or edge. There are several options available: precast concrete, poured-in concrete, tile and natural stone (pavers or flagstone). ).

Douglas fir is perhaps the strongest of all wood beams. Although there may be a stronger wood, I don't know of any. Lumber mills today make beams in the same way as plywood. To make extremely strong structural engineered timbers, they use layers of solid wood that have been glued together.

As can be seen, shear stresses change quadratically with distance y1 from neutral axis. The neutral axis is the point where shear stress is maximal. It is also zero at the beam's top and bottom surfaces.
