APPLICATIONS
FEATURES
NON-TCP BEVEL HEAD
The V303 with a non‑TCP bevel head delivers high rigidity, accuracy, and low maintenance. Its compact design minimizes vibration and removes the need for TCP calibration, resulting in faster setup and dependable operation. Paired with Xtensive Bevel Technology, it automatically adjusts bevel angles to ensure consistent, high‑quality cutting across all bevel types.
MAGNETIC TORCH MOUNTING
Both plasma and oxyfuel torches use the same magnetic mounting system with two precisely aligned, calibration‑free drives that accelerate production. After a collision, the operator can quickly reattach the torch and continue cutting. Switching between cutting technologies is simple by exchanging the torches.
PRECISE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
A helical rack and pinion drive provides positioning accuracy below 0.1 mm, with load distributed across multiple teeth to reduce wear. Rigid, preloaded linear guides deliver stable, repeatable motion, preserving cut quality at high speeds and accelerations. Flexible protective covers keep dust out, maintaining accuracy and maximizing uptime.
BENEFITS
BUFFER MANAGEMENT
The Buffer feature in the control software allows you to queue multiple plates for continuous cutting. This reduces manual intervention and keeps production running at maximum uptime.
DASHBOARD
Be present only when needed. The dashboard displays process times, remaining operations, and any steps requiring manual input. This lets operators focus on other tasks and work more efficiently across the workshop.
JOB SCHEDULING
The scheduling view shows expected production times, required tools, and job order at a glance. Operators and work preparation can plan nests more effectively and keep the workflow running smoothly.
REMNANT NESTING
Plate Verification with laser contour tracing and automatic rotation in the machine control software allows nesting into remnants using a single intact corner. This reduces material waste and shortens setup time.
RESUME FUNCTION
The resume feature restarts cuts cleanly, either directly on the contour or by piercing in scrap with a lead‑in. It automatically generates an arc lead‑in to avoid damage, ensuring smooth and reliable restarts that many competitors cannot match.
DROSS INHIBITOR
A dedicated oilspray nozzle prevents slag from sticking during piercing, eliminating the typical volcano‑shaped buildup. Slag bounces off instead, reducing post‑processing and keeping hole quality consistently high.
LOWERED X-RAIL
In nests with hundreds of parts, operators may cross the rails many times. The X‑rail is designed with a stair‑like step height to make loading and unloading easier and more ergonomic.
TRUEVOLT
TrueVolt adjusts torch height using real arc voltage, keeping cut quality stable and extending consumable life. Fixed‑voltage systems drift toward the plate as electrodes wear, but TrueVolt maintains consistent height for a predictable result.

UPGRADE YOUR MACHINE
Extend machine length
With the modular construction of both the machine and the cutting table you are assured of maximum output. Extend your X-rail and table length to scale effortlessly as your production demands increase.
Second gantry on one X-rails
A second gantry can be added to the same X-rail system, allowing two machines to work simultaneously on one long table improving throughput and maximizing uptime without increasing floor space.
Pipe Cutting Unit
The machine can be equipped with a pipe cutting unit, allowing precise plasma cutting of round tubes directly on the same machine with perfect profiling and belling for welding.
Strip cutting unit
Increase flexibility with a dual‑nozzle strip cutting unit for efficient production of narrow strips. Perfect for small‑width material, it boosts output without additional setups.
Load Manager Module
If you have several plate cutting machines, 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.
Colour Offload Module
If you have several plate cutting machines, 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.
Hypertherm Plasma Sources
Choose economical solution XPR170, flexible for any use XPR300 or XPR460 sources to boost cutting speed and maintain clean edges on thicker materials.
High Cable Tray
The cable tray can be mounted high or low. A high cable tray is more expensive but offers the possibility to mount the cable tray on the side of the panel which creates a free loading passageway for the operator and less chance on oxy-fuel sparks damaging the hoses. The cable tray is always mounted left, when looking from the front of the bridge.

We'd love to hear from you! Whether you have questions, need support, or want to learn more about our products and services, our team is here to help.
The V303 uses a solid gantry with helical rack and pinion drives and precision linear guides that offer far greater accuracy than rail‑only systems. This combination minimizes mechanical play and resists vibration during high‑speed cutting, maintaining consistent accuracy for years with minimal recalibration.
The V303 supports high‑definition plasma cutting and oxyfuel cutting, enabling it to process a wide range of materials and thicknesses. Depending on the configuration and cutting process, it can cut plates up to 200 mm thick.
The control software on the V303 automates plate processing, provides real‑time feedback, and includes features such as buffer management, scheduling, and automated bevel corrections. The buffer function allows multiple jobs to be queued and executed in sequence without operator presence, maximizing uptime and minimizing manual involvement.
Xtensive Bevel Cutting technology and Xtended Hole Performance on the V303 automate bevel cutting and enhance small‑hole quality. These systems eliminate the need for manual corrections and ensure consistent results across varying materials and thicknesses.
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.
Voortman provides remote diagnostics, preventive maintenance packages, and full‑service support. Most issues can be resolved remotely through the machine interface, reducing downtime and service costs. Critical spare parts are stocked regionally for fast delivery when physical service is required.
The V303 can be equipped with a shuffle conveyor that automatically transports slag and small parts into collection bins. This reduces manual cleaning and bin emptying while preventing buildup beneath the cutting zone. By keeping the area clear, it also improves dust extraction efficiency and creates a cleaner, safer working environment.
