CUT STEEL PLATES AT HIGH SPEED AND LOW COST WITH FULLY AUTOMATED CNC PLASMA CUTTING MACHINES
Voortman plasma cutting machines range from flexible gantry machines with cutting, drilling and marking in one setup to high-volume passthrough lines built for continuous plate processing.
Cutting steel plate manually or with older equipment is slow, produces inconsistent cut quality and creates bottlenecks in downstream processing. Voortman CNC plasma cutting machines automate the full plate cutting process, delivering consistent cut quality with intelligent nesting and minimal operator input. From compact gantry machines to large-scale passthrough lines, Voortman has a plasma cutting solution built for your operation.

MOVING GANTRY PLASMA MACHINES
VOORTMAN V310
Combining plasma cutting, oxy-fuel cutting, drilling, milling, marking and bevel cutting in a single automated setup, the V310 eliminates the need for multiple machines on the shop floor. With up to 28 tools on the gantry and a non-TCP bevel head, it delivers high-quality cuts and precise drilling and milling without repositioning. The right choice for steel processors who want maximum processing capability on a single compact footprint.

VOORTMAN V303
For steel processors who need reliable, high-quality plate cutting across a wide range of thicknesses, the V303 delivers precise single-torch plasma and oxy-fuel cuts with bevel capability on a flexible moving gantry platform. Intelligent nesting and minimal operator input keep production running efficiently from shift to shift. A straightforward and proven choice for everyday plate cutting production.
- Type: CNC plasma and oxy-fuel plate cutting machine
- Material: Steel plate
- Processing range: Up to 200mm thick

MULTI-TORCH PLASMA CUTTING MACHINES
VOORTMAN V304
When the production mix includes high volumes of identical parts, the V304 adds multi-torch capability to the flexible moving gantry platform. Multiple plasma and oxy-fuel cutting torches cut the same part simultaneously, significantly reducing cycle time per part and increasing output on repetitive cutting jobs. The right choice for steel processors who run high volumes of the same plate parts.
- Type: CNC plasma and oxy-fuel plate cutting machine, multi-torch
- Material: Steel plate
- Processing range: Up to 200mm thick
- Processing capabilities: Plasma cutting, oxy-fuel cutting, bevel cutting, marking, multi-torch cutting
- Automation: Fully autonomous, unmanned operation
- Software: LogicSteel CADCAM, VACAM
PASSTHROUGH PLATE PROCESSING MACHINES
VOORTMAN V320
Designed for high-volume continuous plate processing, the V320 moves plates through the machine automatically on a passthrough conveyor system. Small plates and offcuts are handled and removed automatically without stopping the cutting process, allowing non-stop production across multiple shifts with minimal operator intervention.
- Type: CNC plasma and oxy-fuel passthrough plate processing machine
- Material: Steel plate
- Processing range: Up to 75mm thick
- Processing capabilities: Plasma cutting, oxy-fuel cutting, drilling, milling, marking, bevel cutting
- Automation: Fully autonomous, continuous passthrough production
- Software: LogicSteel CADCAM, VACAM
VOORTMAN V325
With automatic passthrough conveyor feeding and handling of small plates and offcuts, the V325 delivers consistent high-volume plasma cutting on heavy plate without production stops. Minimal operator intervention and continuous multi-shift operation make it the right choice for steel processors running demanding plate cutting volumes.
- Type: CNC plasma and oxy-fuel passthrough plate processing machine
- Material: Steel plate
- Processing range: Up to 100mm thick
- Processing capabilities: Plasma cutting, oxy-fuel cutting, drilling, milling, marking, bevel cutting
- Automation: Fully autonomous, continuous passthrough production
- Software: LogicSteel CADCAM, VACAM
PLASMA VS. LASER CUTTING: CHOOSING THE RIGHT TECHNOLOGY
The choice between plasma and fiber laser hinges on material thickness, required precision, and budget. While plasma remains the workhorse for heavy steel, advanced fiber laser systems, such as the Voortman V342 (entry-level) and V353 (XXL heavy-duty), have significantly expanded laser capability for thick plate and bevel cutting.
PLASMA & OXYFUEL CUTTING
VOORTMAN V303, V304, V310, V320 and V325
- Plasma is the stronger choice for plate between 25mm and 75mm, oxy-fuel takes over from 75mm up to 200mm
- Lower initial purchase cost and lower energy consumption on thick plate
- Good cut quality for general work, bolt-ready holes achievable
- Fastest cutting speed on thick steel
- Annual consumable costs around €10,000 to €15,000
FIBER LASER CUTTING
VOORTMAN V342, V353
- Stronger choice for plate up to 25mm, superior precision and edge quality with minimal heat affected zone
- Up to 2.8 times faster than plasma on thin plate depending on laser power
- Clean, weld-ready edges with tight tolerances down to 0.05mm, no post-processing required
- Higher initial investment but lower operating costs, annual consumable costs around €2,000
- Capable of cutting up to 75mm for occasional jobs
