Specializing Exclusively in Structural Steel and Sheet Metal Fabricating Equipment

Copes, bolt holes, slots, notches, bevels, weld preparation and layout marking - The Voortman V807 robotic thermal profile cutting system can process it all in one pass with the ability to reach all four sides of the material with exceptional speed and accuracy. The V807 combines all these functions for an impressive economic advantage over dedicated drilling, milling, sawing, punching, shearing and layout marking systems. Combining these processes in a “do-it-all machine” provides quicker ROI and requires less floor space.

Description

Overview

The V807 robotic thermal profile processor uses a measuring sensor attached to the cutting torch nozzle for fast, reliable and precise measurements. During the cutting process the difference between actual and theoretical dimensions are automatically compensated in the machine parameters to ensure the most accurate product possible. To speed up the process even more, the coping robot only measuring the sides of the profile that will actually be processed.

Fast profile measuring

PRODUCTIVITY

Rat holes, seismic structural design connections (jay-allan and dog bone connections), copes at the lead or trail end of a product, block outs, holes in any size and shape, weld preparations, marking on all four sides, and more! The V807 gives you added options to significantly increase your flexibility and capabilities in products you can process in just a small section of your workshop floor

The V807 does it all!

VERSATILITY

The V807 is equipped with an agile, 7-axis cutting robot that’s able to reach and process the full maximum width of profiles within the machine’s range. The welded structure incorporating two external axes increases cutting quality from tried and tested machine components. Voortman programs the robot in a way that it always maneuvers in the most stable position, which also improves cutting quality.

Full profile reach and increased cutting quality from robot

Automated marking saves time and cost in the assembly area of your workshop, and the V807 can automatically mark all four sides of the profile with its ability to completely reach all sides of the material, even the underside. When marking only three sides, assembly employees still need to perform manual measurements on the fourth side of the profile. That’s why the Voortman V807 was designed to reach across the entire cutting area to create the most automated plasma cutting machine in its class.

Processing and layout marking on all four sides

Maximizing reachability in a minimal footprint was the goal when designing the V807. Voortman engineers developed an innovative rotational axis design for the robotic arm mount. Rack and pinion guides use a high-end servo motor for absolute accuracy and speed. The calibrated Stäubli robot is attached to the rotational disc directly under the rack and pinion guides and bearings, eliminating any momentum concerns on the external axis.

Breakthrough rotational axis design

The V807 roller feed measurement and clamping system locks profiles in exact position and maintains alignment throughout processing. Hours of production can be saved with a roller feed measuring system compared to a pusher/gripper truck which needs to go back and forth for loading the next profiles. Voortman’s roller feed system can operate with full automation within a standard range of profile processing when using Voortman’s automated in-feed cross transports, with enough stability and support to properly position and process beams up to 15.000 kg (33,000 lbs).

Roller feed system with secure clamping and accurate measuring

Many plasma cutting robots require a perfectly trim cut after finishing a product before it can start processing the next piece, but the V807 doesn’t need to perform a trim cut. The V807 can import DSTV+ files or use VACAM’s beam nesting module to create continuous nestings and get the most product from each stock length to reduce costs.

Efficient nesting; low scrap

The V807 was designed to provide easier access for maintenance and service. All areas of the machine are accessible directly or through service hinges, and the rotational axis has metal covers to keep dust and sparks away from the rack and pinion and motor. The cutting robot is completely enclosed, and cable chains and the gas connection box for the plasma unit are placed on top of the machine, away from the cutting zone. All hydraulic hoses are metal-shielded, and lubrication points that need to be maintained by an operator have been reduced to a minimum.

Maintenance & Service

USER-FRIENDLY

The V807 is equipped with a HD web camera and recording device for continuous production monitoring. The live stream video can be viewed by your operator as an alternative to looking through the window of the machine or shared with other people in your company, like the works office for more direct insight to the uptime of the machine. The camera stores months of production footage so it can be shared with the Voortman service team in case any issues occur that require a deeper analysis. It immensely helps the operator clearly communicate which events led to the specific situation.

Camera and Recording

The V807 comes with an updated user interface with direct access buttons for the most critical machine functions for a pleasant and accessible working area for your operators. A full-side keyboard comes with the control panel on the machine and the control touch-screen was made for durability and reliability when functioning in any environment.

State-of-the-art user experience

Voortman’s Xtensive Hole Performance optimizes holes and inner contours with high-definition plasma cutting, results in laser-like cutting results. To achieve this standard, Voortman further optimized Hypertherm® True Hole™ specifically for V807 movements.

"These two pieces of equipment work seamlessly together. They produce at incredible rates. To have one without the other just wouldn't really make sense."

Hear it from our customers

The most versatile application process in most cases is coping and the machine capable of being as close to a “all-in-one” solution as possible is a robotic plasma processor. Rat holes, seismic structural design connections like jay-allan and “dog bone” cuts, copes at the lead or trail end of a product, block outs, holes in any size, weld preparations, marking on all sides – all are possible to process with a plasma unit and a robot.

Coping / 3D Plasma cutting

Full automatic profile transportation is provided in order to integrate the machine to a fully automatic MSI beam line. Our/The VACAM software controls the sensored drag-dogs or liftables, transporting profiles onto the infeed roller conveyor and from the outfeed roller conveyor. Selected products will automatically be produced out of the trading lengths. The cross-transports are able to handle multiple profiles, allowing the machine to operate autonomously for a considerable amount of time.

Fully automatic profile transportation

Our in-house developed VACAM software is known for its high performance regarding automated material handling and buffer management. Active buffer management secures a priority position for the first profile in line while buffering following profiles. By continuously shifting profiles toward the datum line, new profiles can be loaded onto the handling system where the datum line is always provided with material. This significantly increases your productivity and efficiency, since machines are not waiting in idle mode for a next profile or production batch.

Active buffer management

One push of the button is all it takes to get your production done. After importing industry standard DSTV or DSTV+ (pre-nested) files into the processing list of our VACAM Software, your operator can fully focus on loading and unloading the system. No manual intervention is needed in order to keep up with the production speed of the machines.

Automatic material handling

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.
