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.

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.

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.

Our factory-trained service tech will spend 5 days on the job installing your machine, calibrating and retraining your operators. This will allow for more hands-on operation as well as troubleshooting and diagnostic training.

The Voortman beam and coping machine has very few moving components, which makes maintenance easy and affordable. Voortman has been designed for worldwide use and only uses parts from top manufacturers. The majority of components can be obtained locally. Voortman always has spare parts available for next-day delivery in the USA. We offer local service and support in almost all of our overseas destinations.

Metalworking

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Concrete beam concrete is one of the most popular types of beam material. Concrete beams can withstand high loads and strong forces. Concrete beams are used mainly in commercial construction. Concrete structural beams can also be used to support bridges and highways.

Coping Saw Coping Saws are handsaws that can cut extremely tight curves in thin stock like trim molding. They can be used to cut outside (from the edge), on stock up to two or three inches thick.

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

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.

The H beam's cross section is more robust than that of the I beam. This means it can support a heavier load. The cross section of the H beam, on the other hand, can only bear direct load and tensile. However, it cannot resist twisting due to its narrow cross section. It can only bear force in one direction.
