Beam Coping Machine Drum

A 5-axis single torch CNC beam-coping machine is a machine that uses only one torch for all coping. One torch can be used to cope a beam. The torch will cut the web, then move on the flanges. It moves from one end of the web to the other in a sequential fashion. The 5-axis torch can move in an almost unlimited number of directions and places, making it possible for even the most difficult of jobs. The 5-axis torch allows for double miter/bevel cut on both flanges and web, something that multi-torch units are unable to do.

The Voortman beam handling machine is simple with few moving parts. It makes it easy to maintain and very economical. Voortman was specifically designed to be used around the globe and uses only components made by major manufacturers. However, many of the parts can be purchased locally. Voortman maintains all parts in stock so that they can be delivered next day to the USA. In many countries, we offer support and local service.

This plasma drilling machine can be used to perform as many functions as possible. The PCR41 can produce fully finished parts at low manufacturing costs. This machine automates all traditional cutting operations as well structural steel.

Voortman offers regular training classes on all Voortman or Ocean equipment at their Bradley Illinois location. These courses can be used to refresh existing operators or for those who are just starting out. This facility will ensure that your employees return to work motivated, highly trained and eager to improve their productivity. Call for pricing and details.

Programming the Voortman CNC Beam Coping Machine is very simple and intuitive even for operators with no CNC or computer experience.

Multiple axis positioning allows top and bottom flanges can be cut simultaneously. Pivoting torches can be used to flange bevel for welding prep.

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.

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!

This 5-axis CNC robotic cutting beam coper can cut beams, channels and angels on beams, channels or rectangular tubes. This machine can cut practically any shape that you can think of. It cuts to length, and it can even cope!

The Voortman can import DXF files and can use them to process 3-D shapes as long as the steel is detailed according to specific rules. Some of these rules might be different to the way you are detailing at the moment and might require some adjustment. This process is not nearly as seamless as the 3-D modeling software solutions above.

Programming the CNC Beam Coping Machine is extremely simple, even if done manually. The machine programming software is Peddimat. Most operators will be able to program most of the parts in no more than an hour. Of course practice makes perfect. The best method to program the machine is by import parts directly from an CAD drawing. These files can then be imported directly to the machine. Sometimes the operator will need to edit a part program to ensure smooth cuts. In these cases, he simply selects the part that he wants to process and hits the Cycle Star button.

Voortman’s 24 hour tech support center can resolve 90% of your support issues. An extensive network of 50+ Voortman personnel is stationed across North and South America.

What is a coping edge

Voortman was created to provide a single solution for all your steel and plate fabrication needs. Voortman has the following top-of-the line features to improve your production:

Importing files directly to your steel detailing program is preferable. It eliminates unnecessary steps and can also prevent any incorrect data capture. Two distinct groups exist in this respect.

Continuous steel beams are made up of multiple beams, which are joined and supported by beams. This creates a strong, but flexible component for large-scale structures. Continuous beams can be used for bridges, multi-story buildings and complex roof structures.

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.

Units will adhere better if they are pre-wetted and mixed with a slightly wetter mortar. Step 4: The coping should be approximately 2 inches (50mm) high and slope at a slope of 2% from the pool.

A coping, an architectural construction that is placed on top of a wall then runs down its sides, encasing bricks and providing weather protection, is called a coping. A capping is a covering that sits on top of the wall, with its edges aligned to the wall's width.
