OVERVIEW
The V320 is an integrated plate processing system combining high-torque drilling and advanced plasma cutting within a single automated platform. Equipped with a 10-station tool changer, magnetic torch mounts, and intelligent nesting algorithms, it ensures precise hole creation, optimized cutting paths, and minimal material waste. Automated swarf removal, collision-safe design, and resume cutting functionality deliver continuous operation and consistent quality across varying plate thicknesses.

APPLICATIONS
FEATURES
AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGER
A 10-position tool station eliminates manual intervention between drilling operations, reducing downtime and labour costs. This means higher throughput and less operator dependency which is critical in high-volume or unmanned production environments.
ROBUST GRIPPER TRUCK SYSTEM
Strong backside and supporting side carriages - accurate plate positioning and secure clamping minimize dead zones and maximize material yield. This translates into lower material waste and better nesting efficiency, which is a major cost-saving factor for fabrication shops.
MAGNETIC TORCH MOUNTING
Collisions are inevitable in plasma cutting. This feature prevents damage and removes the need for recalibration, saving hours of maintenance and avoiding expensive component replacements; key for uptime and operational continuity.
BENEFITS
REDUCED DEAD ZONE
By releasing the side gripper in the final processing stage, the V320 cuts between gripper clamps and across the full plate, minimizing dead zones and increasing material utilization.
CONVEYOR & DROP DOOR
A 750 mm-wide conveyor transports products up to 500 mm diagonally, while the heavy drop door table rapidly unloads parts to 500 × 500 mm and 75 kg, accelerating discharge cycles and enabling extended unmanned runs.
SWARF REMOVAL
A dual‑action swarf brush first swipes the plate clean, then executes a second pass to brush away any chips, so plasma doesn’t cut over debris – preventing defects and improving cut consistency.
RIGID CLAMPING
High‑stability drill clamps suppress vibration so the high‑torque spindle can apply full power, preventing tip damage and chatter while improving hole quality and tool life.
BRIDGE CUTTING
Nesting bridge cuts discharge full rows at once, reduce plasma restarts and pierces, and save up to 8 seconds per product – lowering consumable costs and improving yield.
HD MULTIDROP WORKFLOW
A sequential multi‑drop strategy maximizes utilisation of the plate skeleton while cutting fewer metres, lowering waste and operating costs and reducing material handling.
REMNANT NESTING
Plate Verification with laser contour tracing and VACAM auto‑rotation lets you nest into remnants using a single intact corner, reducing material waste and setup time.
RESUME CUTTING
An easy UI restarts interrupted cuts exactly at the error point with near‑invisible marks, minimizing downtime and preserving cut quality.

UPGRADE YOUR MACHINE
Hydraulic Pushers
Infeed‑mounted hydraulic pushers retract the plate to the datum line at the push of a button, delivering fast, repeatable alignment and shorter setup time.
Cross Buffer
Manually controlled cross transports provide an infeed buffer and expand per meter, smoothing loading and reducing stoppages.
Hypertherm Plasma Sources
Choose XPR300 or XPR460 sources to boost cutting speed and maintain clean edges on thicker materials.
Layout Marking Tool
CNC‑controlled scribing of part numbers and reference lines ensures consistent marks, faster setup, and fewer mix‑ups on the shop floor.
Outfeed Roller Conveyor
It can be lengthened with 1,5 meter to accommodate larger left-over plate skeletons and big plates that cannot be unloaded automatically and need to be unloaded manually. The outfeed length determines the maximum product length and thus can be 1,5m or 3m.
Load Manager Module
With the SigmaNEST Load Manager module, you have full control over complex work orders, production can be assessed quickly and orders can be easily assigned to any compatible machine.

Enable the Dross Inhibitor for plasma piercing. Just before the pierce, the system sprays a thin oil layer onto the material; the “volcanic” burst of molten metal during piercing hits this layer and bounces off instead of sticking to the plate, which dramatically reduces splash and dross around the pierce point and lowers post‑processing time.
A stress‑relieved, thermally and mechanically treated gantry is a rigid base, equipped with precision linear guides and preloaded ball screws; paired with direct‑drive servos, high‑resolution encoders, automatic lubrication, and environmental protection, the system preserves geometry, minimizes wear, and keeps tolerances tight year after year.
Voortman offers remote diagnostics, preventive maintenance packages and full service assistance. Most issues can be solved remotely through the machine interface, reducing downtime and service costs. Spare parts are stocked regionally, ensuring fast response when physical intervention is required.
High‑quality cutting requires frequent height measurements; in a typical part with four holes, over 30% of cycle time can be spent on movement-related checks. Our ultra‑fast height control minimizes this overhead, letting you tune measurement frequency to the desired quality and unlocking the maximum achievable production time. Thanks to magnetic mounting, the oxy‑fuel torch shares the same fast height control, so both plasma and oxy‑fuel benefit from higher throughput with consistent cut quality.
Use VACAM’s live counters for start‑stop counts and total cutting length, to set change intervals that match your quality targets. This keeps cut quality consistent, prevents premature change‑outs, reduces scrap and rework, and lowers your cost per part while maximizing uptime.
The Voortman V320 combines a rigid pass‑through architecture with a high‑power drill spindle and servo‑driven precision motion, so it can push larger carbide tools at higher feed rates while keeping hole quality and position tolerance tight. Specifically, it uses a 40 HP drilling spindle capable of up to 2,500 rpm, paired with servo drives and precision ball‑screw positioning for fast, stable Z‑axis feeds; exactly what you need for heavy plates and rapid cycles.
