There are several types of coping or notching applications in the metal fabrication and manufacturing industry. Three of the common ones include beam coping, wood coping, and tube coping.
Beam Coping
Beam coping is used to fit beams against each other. Often a torch is used to cope steel beams.
Wood Coping
Wood coping machines would be used to fit crown moldings perfectly together; for example to make cabinet doors and moldings. Here is a video demonstration of one of the tools used to cope moldings.
Tube Coping
Tube coping, on the other hand, means taking one piece of tube and cutting it to fit against another piece of tubing. When using cylindrical tubing, a concave cut from the piece of tube needs to be made, and often it’s necessary to have an angle on the cut to produce the desired result. Currently most tube coping is done with hole saws or abrasive notchers.
These methods of tube coping each present their own limitations, and often don’t produce the desired result. This is why at AnnaMax Machine we decided to invent a better, faster, more precise way of tube coping and notching. Take a look at the CopeMatic Pro and you’ll see why it’s the right choice for your next coping project.
