DEMO | V845: Torch Calibration

The Voortman V845 is equipped with torch calibration to ensure clean and precise (bevel)cuts. This provides you with maximum accuracy and consistency, job after job. The V845 lets you focus on the work, not the rework.

The torch calibration process is automated to check and adjust:

• Torch height
  To ensure the correct distance between the torch and the steel for optimal stability and quality cutting.
• Torch alignment
  To ensure the torch is correctly centered, preventing uneven cuts.
• Nozzle condition and offsets
  To ensure that the optimal settings of the machine are met (e.g. no excessive wear).
• Machine coordination accuracy
  To ensure that the torch’s actual cutting position matches the programmed path.

This saves a lot of manual (calibration)work and time. The automatically calibrated cutting head of the V845 ensures accurate results on varying thicknesses, shapes, and sizes. The torch calibration supports the 3D bevel capability (for bevels up to 45°) of the machine as well.

A high‑precision laser sensor provides reliable calibration data, allowing the system to compensate for surface variations in real time. The integrated nozzle compensation mode automatically corrects for dimensional changes after a nozzle swap, removing the need for focus recalibration.

By keeping the torch correctly aligned and at the optimal stand‑off distance, the calibration system also reduces wear on consumables, extending their service life and improving overall cutting efficiency. Watch the demo to see how the Voortman V845 handles torch calibration.
