Reduced cut-to-cut cycle times

Voortman’s Instant Cut Technology was developed to reduce cut-to-cut idle movements by ensuring optimized motion paths each time the torch moves from one operation to another, doubling production capabilities. Time savings exponentially increases when production consists of small product with holes, as each time the torch moves position between cuts you’ll save valuable seconds that will add up to meaningful increases in production in a short amount of time. Instant Cut Technology is built in to VACAM control software, which creates the optimal production mix between speed and quality automatically.

Fast carbide drilling up to 40 mm (1-9/16″)

The V310 utilizes a high-powered SK40 drilling unit, allowing holes up to 40 mm (1-9/16″) diameter in 100 mm (4″) thick plate to be drilled. The large 440 Nm spindle servo drive provides top-speed feed rates, even drilling large diameters. The drill is lubricated internally with a mixture of oil and air to extend carbide tip lifetime and eliminate the need for cleaning after drilling.

Increased productivity with multi oxy-fuel cutting

The V310 can be equipped with an additional oxy-fuel torch for improved productivity and output. VACAM software automatically selects the correct torches and distances between the torches when processing with multiple oxy-fuel torches. The software dials in the details to make sure your parts are cut in the right way without any manual torch positioning needed from an operator

Easy torch remounting with 3D collision

The V310 comes equipped with a unique magnetic torch collision system. When a torch collides with an object such as a cut-out product on the table, remounting the torch usually takes some time, and some designs even require spare parts. The Voortman 3D torch collision system minimizes downtime with easy magnetic torch remounting to get your machine up and running in no time.

Minimal vibrations & Extended consumable life

The Voortman V310 is equipped with a heavy steel bridge weighing 4500 kg (9921 lbs). This allows for a higher feed rate and provides extended consumable life during drilling, contributing significantly to consumables cost savings and improving accuracy of processing your parts.

 
Accurate depth with counterbore holes

The V310 is fitted with torque detection so the software knows exactly when the hole starts and precisely where to stop drilling. This ensures that counterbore hole depth is always accurate, creating a high quality hole in your product despite differences in plate height or built up chips on top of the plate.

Dross Inhibitor for improved cutting quality

Slag formation during piercing is a common problem with plasma cutting. Piercing creates a volcanic effect that blows molten metal out of the pierce hole and over the material, which needs to be removed manually. Dross in a cutting path diminishes cut quality. The V310 is equipped to reduce issues caused by slag build-up with a dross inhibitor that sprays oil at the piercing area just before piercing, preventing slag formation and significantly increasing cutting quality.

I-cut Correction to counteract taper

Angular deviation or taper on the cutting surface is a typical issue attributed to plasma cutting. Voortman introduced I-cut Correction to counteract the taper caused by plasma cutting with a bevel correction, increasing the quality produced.

Xtensive Hole Performance

Voortman’s Xtensive Hole Performance is developed to optimize holes and inner contours when cutting with high-definition plasma to produce laser-like results. Voortman further optimized Hypertherm® True Hole™ and Kjellberg® Contour Cut range by creating a perfect match between the plasma supplier’s technology and the dynamic movement of the V310. Xtensive Hole Performance is applied to small and medium sized slot holes and square inner contours, creating a perfect slot hole or square inner contour. It’s also useful for cutting holes in aluminum and stainless steel for better results than ever possible before.

Table with supports for extended drill lifetime

The V310 cutting and drilling table uses straight support bars in both directions coupled with aluminum support pins. The pins minimize the risk of drill tips breaking, extending your drill lifetime significantly and reducing consumable costs.

Revolutionary oxy-fuel torch

The V310 uses a revolutionary GCE oxy-fuel torch with its rapid height control for maximum output. Integrating ignition and height control systems creates one solid torch that aides your operators in running the machine. The torch uses standard GCE nozzles, and operators can easily exchange the torch with a bayonet mount for minimum downtime. A built-in pressure gauge indicates real-time cutting pressure for easy adjustments.

Lowered X-rail for easier loading and unloading

The height of the V310 rail is relatively low, eliminating some obstacles when loading or unloading plates. A lower rail to step over means your operators will have an easier time loading and unloading material on the V310.
