Voortman

Introduction

Combined drilling and cutting Combining drilling and cutting in one machine will reduce man hours, material handling and creates a more efficient production process. Voortman’s combined plate processing machines drill, mark and cut in a seamless process. Using a fixed gantry system reduces the necessary floor space.

With Voortman’s sophisticated software and VACAM control together with the high speed carbide tipped drilling and optimal cutting quality, suitable for both plasma and oxygen, this is the most advanced plate processing system in the market.

Plate handling

The system is equipped with a measuring system that includes a double master / slave gripper truck that allows flat bar and plate processing.
The V320/V330 will drill, mark and cut the raw materials resulting in a finished product in one cycle.
When the cycle is completed, finished products are automatically discharged onto the conveyor belt ready for assembling.
Various solutions for automatic unloading, stocking and stacking for further processing.

Cutting / drilling

Mounted on a rigid frame suitable for drilling at one side and cutting on the other side
With the automatic tool changing system for the drilling unit, plasma and oxygen cutting, all possible thicknesses and contours can be produced. Fast positioning of both cutting unit and drilling unit, guarantees a fast process
Fast drilling process by using carbide tipped drills
10 position tool changer for high automation
Possibilities for countersinking, deburring and thread tapping
By using both oxygen and plasma the advantages of both processes can be used

Software

With the Voortman controls and VACAM software, nesting is available for reducing waste and optimum operations sequence
Various projects can be nested to achieve full use of one thickness of raw plate in order to reduce handling time
With the VACAM Machine and Office Edition online and offline programming/nesting is available.
VACAM enables data sharing with any ERP/MIS systems.

Options

The combined plate processing systems can be provided with:

Office nesting software

‘Sigmanest’ Techno Version software for plate nesting
Installed on an office PC (not included)
One hardware license key and postprocessor included

Software

In VACAM, production data can be in- and exported in the format of DStV(+).

Besides the comfort of a Windows based environment VACAM has the advantage that authorized persons at all times can retrieve real-time information about the production progress. This can be done through an on-screen in-motion presentation of the system.

For a more detailed report the Production Data Exporter module can be used. This module allows real-time fabrication information sharing. In any case all operations and motions performed on the system are stored for sharing with any ERP, MRP, MIS and BIM software systems.
