Voortman V310

Next step in hole quality

Xtended Hole Technology further optimizes the quality of various contours, based on the dynamics of our machine. We took the well-known True-Hole Technology from Hypertherm one step further to create high quality smaller contours such as slot holes and rectangle holes. All included in our VACAM Control Software, without additional license fees or purchases and ready to use.

Leave bevel corrections to us

No more complicated and time-consuming corrections on your bevel cuts. Our new Xtensive Bevel Technology is instant bevel cutting without pre-cut samples or calibrations. VACAM knows all complete bevel geometries and corresponding corrections, based on nose/land size, bevel angles and asymmetry. Based on Hypertherm Bevel Charts, extensions and refinements are added to make sure its a perfect fit. Even if your plate dimensions are off, you're able to adjust and correct values while continuing the same nesting.

Milling at the push of a button

The milling functionalities allow you to process a full variety of contours. Our proprietary Automatic Tool Path Calculation eliminates the need for extensive preparation or process knowledge. Automatically calculated ramping cycles, required tooling and tool paths enable complete freedom in the creation of the most complex products.

Heavy bridge for process quality

The V310 is equipped with a very heavy and stable bridge, which is resistant to high pressures. The feed rates won't be affected by environmental factors, ensuring minimized consumable wear and processing quality. You need full control, because a feed rate that is too low generates heat that affects the hardness of the material. The drill does not cut but grinds material which seriously affects its lifespan. A weaker bridge bends back to original position after fully penetrating a plate. As a result, the existing high feed rate often causes the drill tip or even the entire drill body to break. Additionally, the bridge limits the vibrations which minimizes the negative impact on processes for a clear positive influence on tool life and quality.

Perfect feed rates with double measurement

The V310 can switch between different feed rates to ensure high quality results while keeping the intermediate feed rate as fast as possible. It utilizes a double measurement system to determine when to switch to optimal rates. The clamp determines the first measurement point at which the drill can move toward the material at maximum speed. The contact of the drill with the material determines the second measuring point, where the feed rate is adjusted according to the material and hole dimensions. In this way the influences of accumulating chips on the plate are eliminated and drilling quality and extended consumable life are guaranteed. Depending on the processes, VACAM can determine whether to conduct a second measurement.

Superior precision

The dynamics of the V310 allow for a high degree of flexibility and optimal control over cutting heights and cutting positions. It is not without reason that a helical rack and pinion was chosen on both the X and Y movements. With its positioning accuracy of less than 0.1 mm, even heavy parts will be handled with precision. The load on helical gears is distributed over several teeth, resulting in reduced wear for the guidance and the transmission. To keep this wear to a minimum and provide you with maximum accuracy, the guides are protected by a flexible cover against dust and dirt.

Continuous quality with TrueVolt

With a fixed nozzle height relative to the plate, you get the most optimal cutting quality and consumable life. Our TrueVolt technology measures the arc voltage and corrects based on the real-time consumable wear, keeping that distance intact. When you are limited to predefined values you will notice that the head slowly moves towards the plate to keep meeting that value. A short distance can quickly lead to collision and even faster wear of consumables. Using TrueVolt, consumable wear does not affect the cutting process, which gives you optimal cutting results and extends the life of your consumables.

Oil against unwanted slag

Piercing plates always results in an accumulation of slag, which affects both your cut quality and your post-processing time. Our dross inhibitor is a small nozzle near the torch that sprays a layer of oil, just before piercing. Even a lump of slag is likely to influence hole quality. Oil prevents slag from adhering, leaving your operator with improved hole quality, less manual cleaning and no need to separate small, adhered products.

No calibration needed

High consumable costs are caused by wrong flame height settings. Our mechanical bevel design ensures a perfect height with low consumable costs and perfect cutting quality with no need for calibration. Especially when using two bevel units on the same X-rail, you cannot apply calibration corrections to both. That is one of the reasons our mechanical bevel design is preferred. If you want multiple parts to be aligned, it requires a lot of calibration from you or even from external service technicians. Our bevel unit consists of only 2 drives. These parts are perfectly attuned to each other in the manufacturing process. The mounting of this unit is therefore independent of any form of tolerances and requires no calibration. Combined with synchronized axis and accurate rack and pinion movements, you have full control over the cutting quality and cutting costs.

Fastest height control in the market

To properly correct for plate height deviations, the torch will touch and measure the plate for each new cut. Depending on the desired quality, this can be reduced or increased. It is unavoidable that cutting high-quality holes leads to a relatively large number of plate measurements daily. Measurements on a small product with four holes even indicate that more than 30% of the process time was taken up with movements. Our fastest height measurement then provides you with maximum achievable production time possible. Due to the magnetic mounting, the oxy-fuel torch benefits from the same fast height controls.

A nice step up

An average nesting containing 400 products, an operator will have to step on and over the rails at least 200 times. That is why we have made sure that the step height of our X-rail is almost equal to a stair step, making loading and unloading easier. The more the day progresses, the more noticeable this benefit will be. This allows you to relieve your operators as much as possible while getting the most out of your cutting machine.

Reduced cut-to-cut time

Voortman's Instant Cut Technology enables you to reduce cut-to-cut time by greatly reducing the amount of initial height sensing. At the same time plasma pre-gas is already initiated during movement and retraction height of the torch is kept to a minimum. This combination of features ensures a strong increase in production speed. The difference is considerable, especially with small products and holes.

Take the cutting table from us

This machine is supplied with an in-house developed cutting table, providing a cutting and drilling deck that will prevent drill tips from breaking. Aluminum pins are placed strategically on the plate, minimizing the chance of collision with the drill while providing maximum support to the plate. With a minimum number of components, easy liftable cleaning bins and fixation parts placed outside the cutting section, this cutting table proves a 30% reduction in cleaning time. To achieve even more than 30% reduction, there is the option to opt for a shuffle conveyor below the table bins. Smaller parts are then automatically conveyed to the front of the table, together with slag. This eliminates the amount of cleaning time and the risk that these small parts are all covered by slag from successive operations, increasing the quality of your parts.

High level of finishing

Those experienced in oxy-fuel cutting know that slag can be blown around the machine when piercing material. To minimize the risk of fire and avoid unwanted downtime, all cables are fully covered and therefore protected. Even the gas boxes are safely stored behind a metal casing to minimize the risk of damage and to guarantee safety for operators.

Less manual cleaning for increased up-time

The Voortman V310 comes standard with a 200L bin below the filter unit to reduce the number of times the bin has to be emptied manually. Because during manual emptying, the machine has to deal with forced downtime. Where a smaller ton means a machine downtime of 10-15 minutes per day, with a larger 200L ton you will be able to increase your up-time up to 50 hours per year.
