Voortman's V304 offers multi-torch oxy-fuel cutting, plasma straight cutting and plasma 3D bevelling

Said to be perfect for repeating and simultaneous cutting jobs and layout marking, it features a maximum of 6 oxy-fuel torches, 2 plasma torches, or a combination of each, held on the strong steel gantry. Both the oxy-fuel triple bevel torch and the 3D plasma torch are able to perform weld preparations and produce X, Y, K or V cuts to simplify further production steps. A strip cutting unit with 3 oxy-fuel torches can be used for cutting strips out of raw plates. For fast marking steel plates, a stepless rotatable inkjet marking unit can be installed. The new V304 will be available with True Hole Technology by Hypertherm and Contour Cut from Kjellberg to create better hole qualities, compared to the conventional cutting methods. Also, various nesting programs are offered with the machine, from simple to advanced nesting software, to optimize time and material usage. Next to a completely new design, the new machine has the following new features: [] High precision positioning with X-rail - The V304 has high precision gantry movement via double synchronous driven servo drives in combination with double linear guides and helical rack and pinion system. The linear guides are covered from dust and dirt by a rubber band. [] High precision Y-movement - The rugged steel bridge is equipped with helical rack and pinion, offering higher accuracy, more precision and less noise in the Y-direction. [] Smooth control - The new 3D plasma bevel unit is controlled in 5 axes, with the motors all from the same supplier, increasing synergy and collaboration and ensuring a high quality cut. [] Strong steel bridge -The rugged build steel bridge, for optimum stability, is equipped with linear guides to allow for thermal expansion. Heat shield caps are installed underneath the bridge to prevent unnecessary wear. [] Filter unit - The new Kemper extraction unit is equipped with high performance filters, which are said to be the most sophisticated and efficient solution for filtering dust and fumes. It is capable of filtering more than 99% of all particles smaller than 0.4 micron, which enables recirculation of the filtered air back into the workshop.
