MEASURING SYSTEMS
Precision that drives performance. Accurate measuring is key to perfect drilling and cutting. Voortman offers two advanced options, a gripper truck for heavy profiles and high-speed automation, and measuring rolls for continuous, real-time accuracy in compact setups. Both ensure precision and flexibility for any production needs.
GRIPPER TRUCK / FEEDER TRUCK
Clamps and moves profiles with absolute accuracy. Ideal for high-speed automation and heavy profiles, reducing cycle times and ensuring repeatable precision.
MEASURING ROLL / FEEDING ROLLS
Provides continuous measurement during feeding for real-time accuracy. Perfect for smaller profiles and compact layouts, eliminating manual measuring and minimizing errors.
FROM DRILLING TO CUTTING BACK-TO-BACK EFFICIENCY
Imagine drilling and cutting profiles without the need to move them between separate machines, Voortman’s Back-to-Back Drill Saw Line makes this possible by integrating the V63x drill machine and VB bandsaw into a single, cohesive system. With just one measurement, both drilling and sawing are performed in a continuous flow, significantly reducing handling time and eliminating the need for extra crane movements. This compact configuration not only saves valuable floor space but also delivers speed and precision, making it an ideal solution for workshops aiming to enhance efficiency without expanding their layout.
SMART FACTORIES MADE SIMPLE: MSI INTEGRATION
For steel fabricators and distributors seeking full automation, Voortman’s Multi System Integration (MSI) offers a transformative solution. By seamlessly connecting machines such as drills, saws, and coping robots through conveyors and buffer zones, MSI enables a fully integrated workflow. Powered by VACAM intelligence, production data is distributed across all systems for real-time optimization, drastically reducing manual labor. Material flows automatically, eliminating bottlenecks and significantly increasing throughput. With LogicSteel MRP, users gain complete control over their factory operations, from 3D modeling to final delivery, through a unified platform for planning, scheduling, and reporting. Ultimately, MSI converts your workshop into a smart factory, minimizing manhours per ton and ensuring consistent, high-volume output.
