Your detailer will then supply you a DWG / PLT / PDF file that you will use to print or plot your drawings. He will also supply you with the NC or NC1 files that you will import directly into your machine. The DSTV-Import function is standard on the Voortman.

To coping in the steel and plate manufacturing industry, it is the act of making relief cuts on the beam to make it fit with other parts. While you can do the coping with a handheld torch or a laser, many professional structural steel fabricators will use an automated beam coping machine to speed up production. Voortman knowledge is a huge advantage. This industry-leading CNC beam copier machine has many remarkable advantages.

Voortman offers regularly scheduled training courses for all Voortman Ocean equipment in their Bradley Illinois facility. These courses are available for both new operators and retraining existing operators. Participants who have completed this course return to the shop motivated, educated and eager to improve productivity. Please contact us for more information and pricing.

AutoCAD is an architectural tool that allows you to export flat 2-D shapes to plate processing machines. Its inability to export 3-D shapes, such beams, channels and angles, is where it falls short. AutoCAD exports DWG and DXF DWG files which are great for creating plates.

Another problem is that when cutting thicker portions of a piece, even using light wide-flange beams (e.g. the radius at intersection of the web, and the flange), it is not uncommon for the flame back to blow away, which can damage the plasma head.

A factory trained service technician will spend around 5 days on-site installing your machine and calibrating it. This will give you hands-on training, troubleshooting, and diagnostics.

AFD CNC Flange and Plate Drilling Machine are capable of drilling 6 to 80mm and 1/4" to 3-1/8" thicknesses within their own area. Material is mounted on the table by using balls and fixed with hydraulic clamping jaws. Material is positioned to the desired coordinates for drilling/marking/tapping by CNC program and then operation starts.

The basic unit comprises a semiautomatic, oxyfuel-fuel coping system. The operator positions the piece, fine tunes it, cuts the material, and adjusts the torch height. A laser can be used to automatically set the torch height and probe the material. The basic unit also comes with powered conveyors. These allow the operator the ability to manually measure the length of the feedstock and mark it before cutting. There is an optional automated measuring device that uses laser to measure the feed stock. The operator can input the material to be cut through the interface. Operator scrolls through a number of options via pictorial representations displayed on the computer touch screen. The computer is programmed to display all the dimensions of AISC structural Steel. A fully dimensioned, dimensional cope drawing is available to facilitate programming and save time. Operators have the option to override or customize input and they can save it as a new programming program, if required. DSTV exported diagrams can also be used to program the machine. The wireless remote control allows the operator to turn on, off and operate the equipment. The operator can freely view the equipment at any angle that is necessary to verify operation and maintain accuracy. The operator marks the material, then moves it to a suitable position. Finally, he clamps the material hydraulically so that it can be cut. The operator aligns his laser to the mark and starts the cycle. The torch turns on, preheating and heating the material. The operator initiates the process of cutting and finishes it as long the torch height is maintained.

We have used more than 1000 CNC beam lines and angles lines around the globe and have found that even if the operator has never programmed a machine before they can be productive on it in less than half an hour.

Voortman Technical Support Offices are available 24 hours a week and are always willing to help you with any question, no matter how simple, or complex.

Oxy-fuel

In the same way that the Voortman CNC Beam Drill Line and the Voortman Clipper CNC Angle Line brought affordable automation of beams and angles to the small-to-medium fabricator, the Voortman Liberator similarly brings automated beam coping into shops that otherwise could never have considered it.

The Voortman Technical Support Office is open 24 hours a day, and is always ready to answer your questions, no matter how simple or complicated.

The PCR41 plasma drilling machine was designed to combine as many fabrication functions into one machine as possible. The PCR41 can produce finished parts at very low manufacturing costs. The machine automates all common cutting operations and structural steel.

Voortman can do almost all kinds of structural steel fabrication. From shaping beams, plate to coping relieves and custom profiles. The CNC beam coping machines can be used to replace drill lines and band saws as well as layout and marking stations. Voortman is only one-man-operable. Voortman is a better choice for quality work, quicker turnarounds, and less waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Weiten identified four types of coping strategies. They are: problem-focused (adaptive cognitive), appraisal-focused (adaptive behavioral), emotion focused (emotion-focused) and occupation-focused. Billings and Moos also added avoidance coping to the list of emotion-focused coping.

A 10-foot I-beam of steel will cost $60-$180, while a 40 foot beam will cost between $240-$720.

There are several types of beam structures Continuous beams. Continuous beams are those that have two or more supports to reinforce the beam. ... Simply supported beams Simply supported beams have support at one end and both ends. ... Fixed beams ... Overhanging beams. ... Cantilever beam.

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.
