DEMO | V310: Drilling

Experience the precision and performance of the Voortman V310, the ultimate CNC solution for automated plate drilling. This demo highlights the machine’s advanced capabilities, combining high-speed carbide drilling, tapping, and milling with intelligent automation. Designed for fabricators and manufacturers who demand consistent hole quality and efficient workflows, the V310 delivers exceptional reliability, uptime, and throughput.

The V310 integrates drilling, tapping, milling, and cutting into a single setup, streamlining production and reducing manual intervention. Its robust gantry design and intelligent tool handling system ensure stable feed rates and minimal vibration, even during demanding drilling operations. Automated tool changes and optimized software control enable precise hole placement and consistent thread quality across various plate thicknesses.

Built for heavy-duty performance, the V310’s rigid construction supports high-speed drilling while extending tool life and maintaining accuracy. Features like scheduling and buffering allow for fully unmanned operation, while real-time dashboard insights help monitor progress and maximize uptime. This makes the V310 a reliable choice for manufacturers focused on automation, precision, and long-term efficiency.

Next-Level Drilling Performance

Equipped with one of the largest drilling spindles in the market, the V310 supports carbide drilling up to 40 mm and thread tapping up to M30. Its heavy-duty bridge design ensures controlled feed rates and consistent chip thickness, reducing wear on consumables and minimizing the risk of tool breakage. This results in lower operating costs and fewer production interruptions.

Extended Unmanned Operation

The V310’s Unmanned Mode feature enables longer autonomous operation by intelligently managing tasks that would typically require manual intervention. This allows for overnight drilling and extended production runs without operator input, increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Safe and Efficient Work Environment

Safety is built into the V310’s design. A light curtain allows safe access to the machine for part removal or consumable changes, while generous safety distances around the drilling unit prevent hazardous situations. These features ensure a secure working environment without compromising productivity.

Intelligent Feed Rate Control

To maintain drilling quality and extend tool life, the V310 uses a dual measurement system to optimize feed rates. The first measurement, taken by the clamp, determines when the drill can move at full speed toward the material. The second, triggered by contact with the plate, adjusts the feed rate based on material type and hole dimensions. This intelligent control eliminates chip buildup and ensures consistent results. Depending on the process, VACAM software can decide whether a second measurement is necessary.

Watch the demo to see how the Voortman V310 transforms plate drilling into a streamlined, high-efficiency process. For professionals in steel fabrication, construction, and heavy manufacturing, the V310 is the smart choice for automated CNC drilling.
