DEMO - V353: Straight laser cutting

The two components shown here are a clear example of what the V353 is capable of when power, precision and stability come together. Both parts were cut from 50 mm thick plate using a 15 kW fiber laser source. Despite the material thickness, the contours are clean and consistent, with straight cut edges and minimal taper. The accuracy of the internal openings and the uniform edge quality highlight how the machine maintains control throughout the entire cutting process, even when processing heavy plate.

This example reflects the V353’s core strength: delivering production‑ready parts under demanding conditions with minimal operator input. Cutting 50 mm thick plate requires more than raw power alone; it demands a stable machine concept, controlled motion and consistent process reliability. The V353 is engineered to meet those demands, enabling manufacturers to cut thick plate accurately and repeatably while keeping throughput high.

The Voortman V353 is a high‑performance fiber laser cutting system specifically designed for large‑format plates. With an extra‑large, modular cutting bed ranging from 12 up to 36 meters, it minimizes material movements and allows multiple plates to be buffered on a single table. Paired with laser power options up to 40 kW and the ability to process material thicknesses up to 75 mm, the V353 delivers up to three times more output compared to traditional cutting methods.

What sets the V353 apart is its high level of automation and focus on continuous production. Features such as automatic nozzle handling, optimized gas mixing and intelligent nesting software reduce consumable usage and labor costs while improving material yield. Designed for long, unmanned runs—including overnight cutting across multiple thicknesses—the V353 is built for manufacturers who want to maximize output, lower operating costs and turn large plates into ready‑to‑use parts with unmatched efficiency.
