OVERVIEW
The V342 is an entry‑level laser cutting machine designed to cut plates quickly and accurately. It uses high‑quality components, including a reliable laser source and a proven cutting head. The software is easy to use and supports the operator with built‑in cutting charts. Because of that, the V342 delivers consistent, high‑quality cuts, even at high speeds. Benefit from up to 20 kW of laser power, mixed‑gas cutting, Class 1 safety, and a durable build. This is a strong, straightforward plate processing machine for companies that want reliable performance without unnecessary complexity.
APPLICATIONS
HIGHLIGHTS
TRUSTED HIGH-END COMPONENTS
The V342 is built with proven hardware. It uses a Precitec ProCutter 2.0 cutting head for precise and fast cutting. A Maxphotonics fiber laser source delivers clean, consistent power. Together, they provide speed and reliability.
SIMPLIFIED USABILITY
The V342 is designed to be easy to run. You get an integrated cutting database that gives you the right parameters instantly, so every job starts quickly and accurately. Automatic gas selection and fast gas change take care of gas settings for you, reducing downtime and avoiding mistakes. And if cutting is interrupted, the resume function picks up right where it left off.
HIGH QUALITY CUTS
The V342 has advanced height control that automatically adjusts the focus to the plate. This ensures precise cutting at all times. The system also only needs one initial nozzle calibration. After that, nozzle compensation corrects for nozzle differences automatically, so you don’t have to recalibrate with each change.
BENEFITS
20 KW FIBER LASER
The V342 is available with 12, or 20 kW of fiber laser power. It cuts mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with speed and precision. Get clean results, minimal kerf and waste, and boost overall productivity.
DURABLE MACHINE DESIGN
The V342 is built for long‑term reliability. Its hydraulic shuttle table handles heavy plates and large formats with ease. The exchange table enables fast material changes and keeps the workspace clean. A stable worktop minimizes deformation under load, and the lightweight yet robust gantry supports fast, accurate movement.
MIXED GAS CUTTING
The V342 mixes gas directly in the cutting head, so no external mixing devices are needed. This keeps the setup simple and reduces extra components. Mixed gas cutting allows much higher speeds (often three to six times faster ) while maintaining high cut quality in steel. It improves gas flow, reduces costs, and makes production more efficient.
LASER SAFETY CLASS 1
The V342 is a class 1 laser, the safest category. The laser light stays inside the machine at all times. The enclosure prevents any laser light from escaping. The doors also have safety sensors that only allow the laser to operate when everything is fully closed. This ensures the operator is always protected while the machine is running

Yes. The Voortman V342 can cut stainless steel with high precision. Its fiber laser produces smooth edges and excellent quality, reducing the need for additional finishing.
Yes. The V342 is a Class 1 laser system, fully enclosed and CE-certified. The cutting area is shielded, ensuring operator safety during the laser cutting process.
Yes. The V342 comes standard with SigmaNEST. It includes automatic nesting with optional inventory management for Voortman plate machines.
Yes. The machine automatically selects the right assist gas (oxygen, nitrogen) for each material and thickness. This ensures consistent cut quality and efficiency.
Yes. Thanks to the sophisticated operation software, the V342 can resume cutting at the exact point where the cut was interrupted, saving time and material.
The V342 is connected to a Voortman Filter Unit. The cutting table is divided into zones that open only where the laser is cutting. This provides strong airflow at the source, removing fumes and dust directly for a clean and safe working environment.
The V342 is designed for straight cutting only. If you need bevel capabilities, the V353 is our laser option that supports precise bevel cuts. For plasma-based bevel cutting, the V310 is an excellent choice with full bevel functionality.
