DEMO | V303: Strip Cutting

The V303 delivers reliable, high quality strip cutting through its advanced dual‑nozzle strip cutting unit, enabling manufacturers to process narrow material widths with exceptional consistency. Designed for continuous production environments, the V303 ensures accurate strip dimensions, clean edges, and minimal manual handling, making it ideal for applications where narrow profiles, long parts, or repeat batches are required.

With its fully automated workflow, stable mechanical platform, and intelligent control software, the V303 maintains consistent performance during extended cutting sequences. Operators benefit from a smooth production flow that reduces setup time, improves throughput, and keeps material utilization high during strip production.

Efficient strip processing with minimal intervention

The dual‑nozzle strip cutting unit boosts output by allowing simultaneous cutting paths, reducing overall cycle times and enabling efficient production of multiple strips in a single run. It eliminates the need for dedicated strip cutting machinery or additional setups, providing greater flexibility across varying work orders.

Combined with the V303’s rigid gantry, accurate helical rack and pinion drive, and stable linear guides, the motion system maintains precise line accuracy during long straight cuts. This ensures consistent strip widths from start to finish, even when processing mixed batches or large cutting programs.

Automation that strengthens strip cutting productivity

Advanced software features enhance strip cutting performance throughout the workflow. Buffer management allows operators to queue multiple jobs so strip production continues without interruption. Scheduling tools provide clear insight into required tools, plate usage, and run times, while the dashboard highlights upcoming actions so operators are present only when needed.

Plate Verification helps position strips accurately on new plates or remnants, reducing material waste and ensuring that narrow profiles are cut within the optimal working area. The improved resume function restarts long strips reliably by creating clean lead‑ins, protecting edge quality throughout the part.

High quality results for all cutting processes

Whether cutting strips using plasma or oxyfuel, the V303 maintains consistent dimensional accuracy and edge quality across a wide thickness range up to 200 mm. TrueVolt height control stabilizes plasma performance and extends consumable life, while the oxyfuel dross inhibitor keeps straight cuts clean by preventing slag buildup during piercing.

The magnetic torch mount speeds up changeovers between strip cutting and other work, allowing the production floor to remain flexible without sacrificing accuracy or uptime.

A scalable solution for growing strip production needs

The modular machine and table design allow easy extension of the X‑rail or table length, supporting long strip production or increased batch output. For facilities that require even higher throughput, a second gantry can be added to the same rail system to process strips on one side while cutting other parts on the opposite end, maximizing productivity within the same footprint.
