Beam Coping

This 5-axis CNC robotic, oxy-fuel cutting beam copier is extremely affordable. You can make any type of cut on beams channels, angels plates and rectangle tubes. The profile cutting machine is versatile enough to cut almost any type of drawing. This machine can not only cope but can be extended to any length!

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.

A triple torch or multiple torch CNC beam coping machine typically has three torches. Each torch can be dedicated to a web, flange, or torch. The single torch machine is more versatile than the existing triple torch machines, and can perform a greater number of cuts than the existing triple torch machines. Additionally, the average triple torch machine costs 3-4 times as much as our single torch CNC beam copier.

As customers often bring a few pieces of steel with holes or layout marks, we train the operator to use Peddimat.

With our top of-the-range profiling and coping robot, all of your 3D coping can be made much easier. These Robotic Coping and Profile beams are reliable and can be used for cutting slots, chamlers, or saddles.

The construction of almost any type of structure can be made from structural steel, such as buildings and bridges. These structures come in many different designs. Steel beams must be precisely fabricated in order to meet blueprint specifications. Steel beams are often cut to the right size and thickness.

Beam Fabrication

The ultimate challenge in the steel fabrication industry is to reduce man hours. This time-tested technology is used by fabricators around the world to increase shop capacity and efficiency.

AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machine can drill from 6 to 80mm, 1/4" to 3-1/8", within its own work area. Material is fixed to the table using hydraulic clamping jaws by driving it on balls. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.

Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line and Voortman CNC Drill Line introduced affordable automation to beams and angles for small-to-medium fabricators. Voortman Liberator is similar in that it allows automated beam coping into shops that might not otherwise have considered it.

Importing files directly from steel detailing software is preferable. This eliminates the need for additional steps and eliminates any potential errors in data capture. In this regard, there are two distinct groups:

Frequently Asked Questions

To prevent rainwater entering the structure below, copings and caps are used to cover the tops of freestanding walls and parapets made from masonry. You can make them from either profiled metal like lead, aluminium or zinc or special bricks and masonry.

Steel is stronger than wood pound for pound. It's amazing to see how engineered wood beams have evolved over the past 40-years.

Support for beam splices should be provided by some type of post or structural column. A foot-ing should be provided that the column or post rests on. The beams should be attached to the post using an approved metal connector. The beams must be supported by at most 1 in.

Your coping should be visible enough to make tricks easier but not too much that it blocks your flow. We found that drilling the coping into a parallel-running 2x4 support directly behind it was the best way to fasten it.

Cladding is usually made up of thin slabs of about 3cm thickness with a front finish and placed on the walls. Copings come in different thicknesses and are located at the top of walls.
