The huge steel beams that hold up structures from skyscrapers to giant bridges were once measured and cut manually by people themselves. With their hands, they cut shapes and notches into these beams so that they would slide into others and fit perfectly to achieve the desired design. This is what coping means. It was obviously a slow process and a lot of compromises were known to occur from crooked cuts to uneven shapes and so on. The beam coping machine came and computerized the whole thing, pushing our overall productivity to its extremes, tripled the efficiency and relieved our workers of an excruciating amount of hard labour.
Prodevco is an impressive platform that combines vision systems, a plasma torch, and a six-axis CNC cell to put out top-of-the-line velocity and accuracy that provide a full-face operation that is available for a fit and finish cut of beams and different kinds of metal profiles used for structural steel and other industries. Beam Cut is a versatile and easy-to-use high-quality robotic beam-cutting machine, a coping machine, to cut beams, channels, and angles, which can easily cut plates and pipes. These tasks used to take hours, but now they take no longer!! Do it in seconds, they say. With the same number of employees, it's guaranteed to increase production to a whopping 80%. So, what separates Prodevco from the rest of the bunch? The answer is as simple as a day - “do the job of 7 by 1”.

Why Is Beam Coping Machine Important?
Before the machine the whole thing was done manually, extremely hard on workers with manual measuring and cutting. It resulted in slow work, wasted steel and lots of mistakes.
The Beam coping machine came and started doing everything on a programmed command from the computer. It works faster, cuts more precisely, operates more safely and delivers smarter.
Applications
- Structural Steel Fabrication
- Building & Infrastructure Construction
- Bridge Manufacturing
- Oil & Gas Structures
- Shipbuilding & Marine Fabrication
FEATURES:PHOTO LASER MEASURING DRIVE
These custom-made photo-laser measuring devices are distinct to the industry, and they allow automatic and rapid profiling as well as positioning, which has been proven to provide the best possible cut.
SMOKE TRAP & SAFETY CABINET
The state-of-the-art safety enclosure/cabinet outlines the area reserved for robotic cutting and the circulation area around the system. If the machine is opened during operation, the safety latch work envelope doors are excellent safety measures to shut down the machine.
MOBILE MEASURING UNIT
The mobile measuring helps keep in check streamlined monitoring of all piece lengths by going along the infeed conveyor that follows the piece. The distinct design makes way for doubled accuracy compared to other measuring devices.
FANUC6 - AXIS ROBOTIC ARM
The 6-axis Fanuc arm eliminates even the tiniest of motion sways and all cutting vibration. It's proven to be 4x more powerful than all its market counterparts; this is a robust and agile tool that facilitates a rapid and much better accurate cut.
BEAM CUT TRAJECTORY SOFTWARE
We proudly present our proprietary software to program the robotic trajectories - Beamcut Software. It runs with the help of DSTV files from a 3D profiling software as well as a 2D DXF Autocad file and ensures a productive and hassle-free workflow. The cutting is simulated easily once the files are imported into the software.
HYDRAULIC UNIT
Beamcut’s hydraulic clamps help correct the positioning of pieces in the infeed conveyor and precisely hold and place round profiles by avoiding any rotational movement when the machine is at work.
HYPERTHERM XPR 300 PLASMA
Hypertherm's plasma systems are engineered for peak efficiency and productivity in x-y cutting, chamfering, and robotic applications.
OUTFEED AND INFEED CONVEYORS
An accurate and quick positioning of components/materials is ensured by the outfeed and infeed conveyors, which are Constructed with robust 4-inch rollers mounted on pillow blocks within a sturdy welded frame.
OPERATOR CONTROLLED SYSTEM
These offer the top-notch Windows-based operating systems available on the market. The state-of-the-art operator control system has a touch screen for easy access and power use.
