To increase your material optimization and cutting efficiency, all Voortman plate cutting machines come equipped with the advanced nesting engine SigmaNEST. Advanced nesting algorithms ensure improved part yield and minimal scrap while optimizing your cutting cycle times. Voortman includes SigmaNEST in all plate cutting machines because, as you know, an excellent nesting program is as important as the machine itself.

Advanced nesting software

Plasma cutting is much faster than oxy-fuel cutting in the lower mild steel thickness range (3mm up to 25 mm). Capital expenditures for the same size plasma machine are 75% lower than high-powered fiber lasers while maintaining or outpacing cuttting speeds at a medium thickness (12 mm) and up. For medium-to-thick stainless steels where oxy-fuel is not an option, plasma is by far the preferred cutting technology.

Plasma cutting

Marking by plasma has the advantage of creating a high quality and accurate mark with the same plasma unit that is used for plasma cutting on this machine. The depth of the marking can be adjusted with our VACAM software. This machine automates the marking process while manual layout marking is a time-consuming, labor intensive and error-prone process.

Marking by plasma

The main advantages of oxy-fuel cutting are the low operational costs and the low associated capital expenditure. Due to an easy switch between plasma and the oxy-fuel torch you can process a wide range of thicknesses. Together with the revolutionary oxy-fuel torch with its built-in features and the automatic height control, a fast cutting cycle with minimum downtime is ensured.

Oxy-fuel cutting

Strip cutting of a complete plate can be a time consuming process. By using multiple oxy-fuel torches, you are able to cut multiple strips simultaneously, which significantly increases productivity.

Oxy-fuel strip cutting

Strip cutting of a complete plate can be a time consuming process. By putting an attachment of two nozzles to the revolutionary oxy-fuel torch you are able to cut multiple small strips in a very productive way. When you equip the machine with multiple oxy-fuel torches, you are even able to cut more strips simultaneously.

To easily measure and define the zero position of a plate, our VACAM software automatically calculates how te plate is positioned on the cutting table by determining the angles of the plate. Specific points of the plate must be manually indicated whereafter VACAM automatically performs the calculation for the zero position of the plate, even for more complex scrap shape plates.

Flexible and easy plate measurement

When the arc is lost or a cut is interrupted, the torch can be easily moved back to the point of failure without the flame burning by use of the VACAM software. Exactly from the point of failure the torch can ignite and continue the interrupted cut. Another possibility is to move the torch slightly outside the interrupted cut, start in the waste material and automatically move towards the contour and then continue your cutting process. 

Easy restart in case of arc-loss

Voortman’s Truevolt technology is responsible for ensuring constant cutting quality and maximum consumable life as part of Instant Cut Technology. Maximum consumable life means less manual interaction and therefore less machine downtime. Truevolt corrects the exact arc voltage. By measuring the arc voltage, it can determine and maintain the optimal cutting height during processing of your product.

Truevolt technology

Every machine is equipped with our in-house developed VACAM control software. All machines share the same “look-and-feel” which significantly reduces your learning curve. Within VACAM's open platform, production data can easily be exchanged with third party ERP and MRP software, providing up-to-date insight in the progress of your projects. VACAM provides a real-time graphical representation of your workflows and processes and analyses imported products instantly. The software automatically suggests the best solution for any foreseeable problems. This way, your production is not interrupted resulting in increased efficiency and runtime of the system.

VACAM Machine

The VACAM software also comes with an Office Edition. VACAM Office Edition runs in a similar way as VACAM Control and Operating software and is dedicated to preparing your products into producible items. The user interface is focused on the preparation activities and also provides real-time insights in the material load on the system enabling you to monitor your production process. With VACAM Office, production information is available throughout the entire company.

VACAM in the office

To enable constant and efficient production, VACAM offers your operators a comprehensive and easy-to-use interface. One of VACAM’s key features is the clear separation between work preparation, production and manual machine operation activities. For each mode of use, the required functions and data are available at your fingertips, enabling you to perform tasks in the right environment. VACAM Control software is known in the industry for its consolidated graphical representation of your production process. With VACAM, you have a clear overview of the process, production status and instant access to online assistance if required.
