We deeply value our customers and their feedback; it's what drives us to keep improving and innovating. Curious how our machines make a difference? Hear directly from our customers as they share their experiences.

Padding

Carl Hamm - Mario Schumacher - Germany

"The machine is much more accurate. The rework, including during welding, is significantly reduced because there is far less fitting work required. We save at least 30% of the production time before we get the parts ready for welding and overall, I would estimate a savings potential of around 15 to 20%."

O'Cain Inc. - David O'Cain - United States

Having a CNC pipe processing machine that can cut and bevel so quickly, with such clean cuts, saves us 30 to 35% in man-hour labor compared to the older machine we used for several years.

6 CNC AXES WITH W-AXIS RETRACTION

Delivers precise, clean cuts, even around welding seams, thanks to the advanced W-axis that retracts the torch when reaching the welding seam.

LASER MEASURING SYSTEM

Laser sensor system for maintaining constant torch-to-pipe clearance. Before cutting, the sensor performs a high-speed dry run to dynamically scan and measure pipe surface positions, ensuring precise torch control.

UP TO 70 DEGREES CUTTING HEAD

Torch inclination of up to 70°, supported by advanced software, enables the creation of complex cutting shapes with weld bevels that transition smoothly from the outer to the inner surface of the pipe.

Which cutting technologies can be used for pipes?

The Voortman MO pipe cutting machines support both plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. Plasma is ideal for thin to medium wall thicknesses with high speed and precision, while oxy-fuel is better suited for very thick wall pipes. In addition, oxy-fuel can cut at steeper angles than plasma, providing more flexibility for complex weld preparations. This ensures the right technology is available for each material and project.

What pipe dimensions, wall thicknesses, and materials can be cut?

Depending on the machine model, pipe diameters from 50 mm up to 4.000 mm can be processed. Lengths of up to 18 meters are supported. Plasma typically handles wall thicknesses up to 50 mm, while oxy-fuel can cut much thicker pipes. It’s important to note that the angle of the cut affects the effective cutting length, so wall thickness alone does not determine cutting time or capability, steeper bevels result in longer cuts. All common materials including carbon steel and stainless steel can be cut. These are widely used in offshore, shipbuilding, and construction all over the world.

What types of cuts are possible?

The Voortman MO pipe cutting machines can produce a variety of holes, bevels, miters, saddles, dome cuts, and branch connections. The multi-axis torch motion allows for precise 3D profiles, ensuring pipes are ready for welding or assembly without extra manual work.

Why is bevel cutting important?

Bevel cutting is essential for welding preparation. It creates the correct edge angle and shape on the pipe end, ensuring strong, clean welds and reducing the need for additional grinding or manual preparation.

Can the machine cut automatically, and how are cutting programs created?

Yes, the Voortman MO pipe cutting machines are fully CNC-controlled and cutting programs are generated with our COROBS CAD/CAM software. COROBS optimizes cutting paths, automates torch movements, and minimizes operator input, making production faster and more consistent.

What is the main advantage of CNC pipe cutting machines?

The Voortman MO pipe cutting machines provide a higher accuracy, repeatability, and productivity compared to manual methods. Complex geometries can be cut in a single setup, reducing material waste, saving time, and delivering consistent quality across all parts.
