Voortman V320

The V320 is specially designed for drilling and cutting of plates. It is fitted with a drilling unit and a ten-fold automatic tool changer. Holes of various diameters can be drilled in a very short period of time, without manual intervention. A marking tool can be placed in the tool changer for layout marking. Both plasma and oxy-fuel cutting systems are standard provided on the machine. A HyDefinition plasma torch is standard, and makes the best plasma cuts possible with no or minimal dross. Fumes and dust generated during the production process are extracted by a fume extraction unit. Positioning of the steel plate is done by two feeder trucks, which are servo driven and therefore extremely accurate.

Features

PLASMA CUTTING	OXY-FUEL CUTTING
Voortman uses a 260 amp power source standard on the plate cutting and drilling systems. Additional to this the True Hole Technology and an automatic height control is being used. Supplying our clients with the best possible plasma cutting results in the market.	For cutting through thicker material an oxy-fuel torch is fitted on the machine. With its automatic ignition and height control even heavy parts are easy to produce.
CARBIDE DRILLING	AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGER
Using synchronized servo drives with ball screws for each movement as well as a large 30 kW servo drive for the drilling spindle results in extreme acceleration. Maximum speed is reached in just a fraction of time, and maximum torque in the full range from 1 to 2.500 rpm is perfect for carbide drilling.	Every V320 comes with its own 10 position tool changing system. This feature in combination with the overall unmatched automation level of the Voortman lines completely eliminates the need of an operator being present at the plate processor.
MEASURING SYSTEM WITH MASTER AND SUPPORT GRIPPER
Utilizing a double fitted measuring truck the plate always floats through the system at the correct position. The master gripper secures the back of the plate with 3 rigid clamps, the support gripper secures the front of the plate at the datum line of the system, with its two clamps. As the support gripper moves independent from the master gripper the whole plate length is covered by keeping its position against the datum line. The support gripper allows the V320 to process flat bars as well. For processing short or already used plates the support gripper is retractable.
OUTFEED ROLLER CONVEYOR	CROSS TRANSPORTS
The roller conveyor on the outfeed side is made on client’s wishes. This is to gain space for the waste skeleton or for longer products.	With the use of cross transports easy connection for Multi System Integration is ready made.
AUTOMATIC DISCHARGE TABLE	PRODUCT OUTFEED CONVEYOR BELT
After cutting plates the products are automatic released from the table. This is to assure that the cutting process continues without intervention for manual plate removal.	After the finished products are released they end up on the conveyor belt under the system. The products are fed in cross direction to a comfortable position at operator’s height or discharged in a product bin.
LIFTABLE DATUM LINE	FUME EXTRACTION
The liftable datum line secures the correct position of the plate before starting of the process. The operator or the optional hydraulic pushers moves the plate against the datum line. When the measuring system transports the plate towards the machine the datum line lowers below the conveyors.	In combination with the plasma source, Voortman delivers a fume extraction unit which guarantees a clean working environment. Directly under the plasma table the fumes are immediately extracted via ductwork towards the filter unit. The filter unit is placed outside the system.
LIFTABLE MEASURING SYSTEM	HYDRAULIC PUSHERS
Moving the measuring system above the conveyor allows loading of next plates to feed the system by roller conveyor.	Hydraulic pushers assure optimum aligning of the plate against the datum line to prevent from deviation.
SWARF BRUSH
Cleaning of the plate after drilling is done with the moveable brush. With the rotating brush all swarfs are swiped from the plate into a swarf bin, to prevent from any disturbance during plasma cutting.
NESTING SOFTWARE	TOOLING
Voortman offers various nesting programs: from simple nesting software to advanced optimizing software for saving valuable time and material.	Voortman delivers all their systems including thread tapping, countersinking and deburring on the drilling facilities. Within the VACAMcontrol these operations are standard integrated.
LAYOUT MARKING BY PLASMA	LAYOUT MARKING BY MILLING
Layout marking is possible with the plasma process. The automatic gas console switches automatically over to argon gas for optimum layout marking results.	With layout marking by milling, the machine can not only mark the part number, but also the contours and part numbers of other pieces. Additional tracing lines are easily marked on the fittings for flawless assembly.
TOOL LENGTH MEASURING BY LASER	HIGHER CAPACITY PLASMA
To be able to move the drilling unit to the material in full speed, the length of every new tool is measured by laser when a new tool is placed into the tool changer. This eliminates touch sensing.	For more speed and higher capacity the V320 can be delivered with a 400 amp plasma source.
