WE ARE VOORTMAN STEEL MACHINERY
Manufacturer of high quality CNC steel processing machines. Forward thinking, automation and quality are pillars reflected in everything we do.
Also when it comes to our plate processing machines and solutions. From in-house assembling and testing to in-house production of the robust machine frames, cutting tables and cabinets - we have everything in control, allowing us to deliver constant quality. But where's great hardware without great software? That's where our in-house developed VACAM software comes in and where we're always pushing boundaries. In our software development we focus on interaction, automation and machine feedback to ease your operator and maximize machine uptime and efficiency.
We're known for our excellent service and a beautiful Voortman Experience Center right here on our campus! An ideal location to visit and see our machines in action and speak with our experts about optimizing output and reducing your operational costs!

BENEFIT FROM OUR IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT
ELECTRICAL CABINETS
In-house engineering
Our electrical engineers use 3D-CAD to create an electrical engineering plan. Assembly lines can use this data to automatically put cabinets together. Wires are automatically cut to length, sorted and numbered. Based on the three-dimensional visualizations, the panel is easily assembled. In this way we guarantee error-free products and at the same time we reduce delivery times significantly.

PLATE CUTTING TABLES
Inhouse engineering and manufacturing
Having our own manufacturing plant allows us to identify with your challenges and puts us in a position to provide rapid solutions.
Our in-house developed and manufactured cutting tables feature a built-in drilling deck that prevents drill tips from breaking.
The new cutting table has a minimum number of components, easy liftable cleaning bins and fixation parts placed outside the cutting section, all of which contribute to cutting table users having 30% less time to clean.

PLATE CUTTING MACHINES
Our machines process our machines
We design and manufacture plate processing machines for the manufacturing and machine building industries. Therefore, we use our own machines to build our machines. You can see why we are proud of our machines. Our double-gantry plate processing machines produce the frames that are welded together, milled, and coated by our craftsmen. We value efficiency and foster self-sufficiency.

MACHINE ASSEMBLING & TESTING
Carefully performed by professionals
The production of plate processing machines is broken down into a series of stages: mechanics, electronics and modules. In a single assembly line people are working passionately on our products.
At the end of the production process, the product is thoroughly tested. Under the watchful eye of all stakeholders, we ensure that it conforms to set tolerances and standards.

VACAM: DEVELOPED AND CONTINUALLY SUPPORTED BY VOORTMAN
Every Voortman machine is equipped with our in-house developed VACAM control software. All machines share the same “look-and-feel”, reducing the learning curve. VACAM's open platform allows seamless exchange of production data with third party MRP software, providing up-to-date insight in the progress of your projects. There's no need for any paper work moving back and forth. Just import the created nestings and VACAM knows exactly which nests need to be produced.
Our software engineers work daily on smart updates, incorporating user experiences and market developments into new initiatives and innovations. Our recent updates are mainly aimed at increasing process flexibility and improving the interaction between man and machine. With features such as VACAM Scheduling Overview, Scheduler and a real-time Dashboard, you can appoint your operators as managers, since their main task will shift from operating the machine to loading and unloading and managing the entire workshop.
THESE ARE OUR FOCUS AREAS
AND ARE CONSTANTLY SUBJECT TO DEVELOPMENT
CUSTOMER SERVICES
Benefit from our well-known customer service reputation
