Give us a call and we'll assist in finding the most suitable, cost-effective fabricating equipment for your needs.


Specializing Exclusively in Structural Steel and Sheet Metal Fabricating Equipment

 CNC bandsaw machine is designed to provide automated straight and miter cutting for structural steel. Each machine is mounted to a heavy-duty frame and comes equipped with the latest technonogy in servo motors and ballscrew spindles. The VB Range cuts with optimal speed and quality for maximum production throughput.

This system is the fastest measuring system for profiles in the market. The absence of a truck enables the positioning of a next profile in front of the machine, while processing a current profile. As your profile needs to be clamped only once, a significant amount of waiting time is eliminated. Our most common configuration, a so-called back-to-back, combines a VB saw with a beam drilling machine. In this case, the measuring rolls of the drilling machine can be used for both machines. This very compact system requires limited space and ensures a high level of autonomy.

Measuring rolls

The gripper truck is the most optimized measuring and transportation system when processing lots of small products. When the gripper clamps your profile at the end, the length is instantly determined. The gripper truck can reach the saw blade which makes it ideal for fully automatic production. The combination with a Short Piece Removal System (SPRS) enables you to automatically remove clean cuts, remnant material and products up to 1.400 mm / 55 inch. The gripper has the unique ability to automatically rotate its clamp for transporting various profiles.

The pusher truck is our most cost-effective measurement system. The truck follows your profile while keeping track of the profile's position in real-time. The profile is transported by driven roller conveyors. A pusher is often used in MSI split systems where a VB Saw is positioned after a beam drilling machine.

The full-stop is an extremely fast measuring system which also enables bundle cutting of multiple profiles. These profiles are positioned against the stop plate to determine their exact position. When clamped, the full stop is lifted and already taking a new position according to the VACAM cycle list.

The VB Range of bandsaw machines support different types of bandsaw blades with profiles built into VACAM operating software. Changing saw blades is a straightforward process and takes less than 15 minutes. The easy-to-use individual saw settings can be adjusted on the fly, making the VB Range extremely flexible for different applications. Additionally, a special mode to saw through thick profiles is provided to prevent the saw blade from getting blocked by the profile’s tension.

Sawing various applications

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

The bundle stop and bundle clamp enable steel service centers to significantly increasing output, by simultaneously sawing multiple profiles to length. The bundle stop ensures accurate length by aligning all profiles, whereafter the bundle clamp fixates all profiles from top and sides.

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.

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.

The integrated VACAD Editor enables your operators to improve output by creating products or quickly improve and correct the product. The interface is easy to understand with straight-forward functionality. Operators will be able to take full advantage of the VACAD Editor and VACAM after a few days with the Voortman trainers.

VACAD Editor

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.
