Voortman V808
Robotic profile cutting up to 1.250 mm (50") width
The Voortman V808 is the most versatile and market leading robotic thermal cutting machine with 8-axis for processing wide profiles with a operating width up to 1.250 mm (50"). The extreme flexibility of the robot combined with the machine structure enables the machine to cut every 3D shape possible and mark all four sides of your material. This system allows for enormous freedom to design and produce structures with the most complex connections and copes, but also a significant increase in production speed. Copes, bolt holes, slots, notches, bevels, weld preparation and layout marking - The Voortman V808 does it all!
Processing versatility for wide beams up to 1.250 (50")
THE V808 DOES IT ALL!
With greater versatility comes greater economic advantages. Robotic plasma processing offers fabricators hard-to-beat cost savings over separate solutions for drilling, milling, sawing, punching, shearing and marking. Combining all of these processes in one machine saves you the financial investment of needing multiple machines with individual functions.
CUTS ALL KINDS OF SHAPES AND LAYOUT MARKING ON ALL 4 SIDES
The V808 robotic profile processor is capable of processing nearly any kind of shape that needs to be produced in profile widths up to 1.250 mm (50"). When this profile width is not common in your production, our newest coping robot, the Voortman V807 often suffices for processing profile widths up to 1.050 mm (42"). Rat holes, seismic structural design connections (like slotted web and “dog bone” cuts), copes at the start or end of a product, block outs, holes in every size and shape, weld preparations and marking on all 4 sides are just some examples of possible cuts the V808’s robot can process thermally.
FAST PROFILE MEASURING
The Voortman V808 robotic thermal cutting machine is equipped with the fast, accurate and versatile Panasonic TL-1800G3 coping robot. The torch nozzle of the robot is fitted with a measuring sensor to measure the exact profile dimensions. The difference between actual measured profile dimensions and theoretical dimensions are compensated during the cutting process to ensure the most accurate result possible. To save time, the coping robot only measures the sides of the profile that will actually be processed.
POWERFUL MEASURING AND CLAMPING SYSTEM
The Voortman V808 is equipped with a powerful roller feed measuring and clamping system. This fully automatic measuring roller feed system is the fastest positioning system as it does not require a pusher or gripper to return home before loading the next piece, saving hours each week. The maximum positioning weight of the roller feed system is 15.000 kg/33.000 lbs which makes this measuring and clamping system more flexible and powerful.
FUTURE EXPANSION?
The Voortman V808 is an ideal foundation for future growth capabilities. All Voortman machines, including the V808, operate with the same standard VACAM control software, which means that all machines talk the same 'language'. So when more capacity is needed as you grow your business, the V808 can easily combine with other Voortman machines in a fully automated and integrated production system, also referred to as Multi System Integration.
REAL-TIME DEMO
Performed in the amazing speed of 3 minutes and 57 seconds
We created a real-time processing demo product to show you that the Voortman V808 is the fastest robotic thermal cutting machine in the market. Watch the video below to see the speed of the Voortman V808 yourself. The product below contains 12 different actions, all done by one machine:
- Profile measurement
- 2x flange/web block out
- 3 x ø22 mm (ø55/64") bolt hole
- 1x web cut out 120 mm x 80 mm (4-23/32” x 3-5/32”)
- 6 x ø26 mm (ø1-1/32”) bolt hole
- 1x round flange cut out radius 90 mm (3-35/64”)
- 1x rectangular flange cut out 150 mm x 50 mm (5-29/32” x 2”)
- 2 x slotted hole ø18 x 35 (ø11/16” x 1-3/8”)
- 1x straight end cut
- 1x chamfer cut 105 mm 45° (4-1/8” x45°)
- 4 x ø18 mm (ø11/16”) bolt hole
- 1x flange removal 50 mm (2")
- 13 AISC/EN-1090 (M2.5) accepted bolt holes
- 2260 mm (85”) cutting distance (excl. holes)
INTEGRATION IN YOUR WORKSHOP
The Voortman V808 robotic thermal cutting machine as all other machines is delivered with the VACAM operating software, this means all machines talk the same “language”. This makes the V808 incredibly versatile and can be part of a complete new layout including roller conveyors and cross-transports connected to other Voortman processing machines, or as a stand-alone processing center.
We’ll work with you to come up with a solution for any situation you face – including implementation into an existing production line, or outside loading and roller conveyors. The roller-feed measuring system is completely integrated in the machine housing and offers complete freedom for planning and expansion in your workshop. You can start with a small layout and easily extend the machine with more automated logistics or add complementary machines at a later time as your business grows. Voortman makes machines that can grow with your company seamlessly when extra capacity is needed without increasing labor costs.
Reduce laber costs and increase efficiency
MSI, also referred to as Multi System Integration, opens the door to fully automate your production by connecting machines with cross transports, roller conveyors, product buffers, and material sensors. Production data only needs to be imported once and then MSI automatically distributes the data to all machines integrated in your production system.
VACAM decides optimal material route
Based on the production on hand, customer preferences and the available machinery in the MSI-line, VACAM automatically decides the optimal route to reach the highest efficiency. MSI designates the end of transporting raw profiles and semi-finished products from machine to machine. MSI stands for one integrated production system. You can track and monitor every profile, product and future planning in real time by using VACAM, Voortman’s proprietary CNC control software installed on every machine.
Designing your optimal layout
Together with you, the Voortman team designs the entire layout based on your current or expected production characteristics, such as type of profiles, product length, number of processes, hours in your work week and budget.
An integral plan to keep your production line safe and up and running
After installing a machine or production line, Voortman installs a net of safety measures. These safety measures comprise of light curtains, emergency cords and emergency stop buttons. Voortman has made it one of its priorities to deliver a safe production line, yet not hold up production if the operator needs to enter the safe zone. This is accomplished by using gated light curtains allowing loading and unloading while the machines continue processing, and by delivering remote controls with a kill switch that operators can use when carrying out tasks inside the safety zone.
