The Olympic Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo have now come to a close. More than 3,500 athletes from 93 countries competed for gold across 16 Olympic disciplines. In steel processing, it can feel like you’re competing too. Deadlines, capacity challenges, space limitations and demanding quality standards are well-known opponents. So how do you stay ahead? In this article, you’ll discover the machine traits behind gold‑level performance.
SPEED CHAMPION: V633
World’s fastest simultaneously drilling, milling and marking
Just as Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam claimed Olympic gold in the 1,000 meters, you need unrivaled speed in your steel processing. However, time is lost when processes run step‑by‑step or when beams need to be repositioned between operations. The V633 removes those inefficiencies. It drills, mills, taps, countersinks, numbers and marks simultaneously. That’s how you gain the speed advantage in profile processing with the V633.
STRENGTH CHAMPION: MO HEAVY-DUTY
World’s strongest pipe profile cutting machine
Like a bobsleigh team powering off the start, heavy‑industry requires force. But did you know that force can be applied in a smart, controlled way? Many companies still cut large, heavy pipes manually, even though there’s no need to anymore. The MO Heavy‑Duty is built precisely for those demanding tasks. It cuts round pipes and dished ends up to 4,000 mm in diameter and handles workpieces of up to a staggering 45 metric tons with automated ease.
PRECISION CHAMPION: V353
Turn plates into production-ready parts with laser
Precision is key when processing steel plates. Why? Because precision cutting means fewer corrections, cleaner parts, predictable quality and clear scheduling. All of which save time, labor and money. Much like a curling stone landing exactly on the button, precision determines the success of the entire process. That’s what makes the V353 so valuable. It produces ready‑to‑use parts straight from large‑format plates with laser-precision.
ALL-ROUND CHAMPION: V807
All-in-one robotic cutting on a compact footprint
A biathlon is a race where athletes combine skiing and shooting. In steel processing, you might be looking for machines who can combine even more skills. Reasons could be that you don’t have a lot of floor space to work with, or you want to simplify logistics. If that’s the case, the V807 robotic plasma cutting robot can make all the difference. It combines cutting, coping, drilling, milling, marking and free form processing, al in one.
