Recently Voortman delivered the first of its redeveloped beam coping system to Stahlbau Queck in Germany. It’s high speed and accurate cutting highlights this CNC-controlled beam coping systems performance. The system is capable of processing beams up to a width of 1.250 mm. The Voortman 6-axis beam coping system is fitted with an oxygen-cutting unit to cut in both the flanges and web of the beams. The beam coping system can also carry out web and flange bevels.

As a result of an innovative design, the Voortman beam coping system is not only accurate, but also very quick.
The accuracy of the system is a result of a technical design with the professional robot mounted on top of a solid frame; this fixed frame is positioned over the roller conveyor. Other systems are likely to leave a margin because the robot is mounted on a rail, which hangs over the material. This margin then results in the instability of the construction.
To professional control the feeding of the professional profiles the system is fitted with measuring rolls that enable it to perform at high-speed and provides automatic positioning of the profile in the beam coping system.

Of course each beam deviates from his ideal dimensions, so to measure the real beam dimensions the robot first performs an automatic measurement cycle so that the robot can exactly execute the specified cutting dimensions with its cutting torch.
The V806M professional software is provided with a programmable macro-library, it is possible to import products from a DSTV-format.
