Overview

The Voortman V310 is a combined CNC plasma cutting and drilling system designed specifically for structural steel plate and beam processing in steel service centers and structural fabrication shops. Unlike standard flat-bed plasma cutting tables, the V310 is engineered for heavy plate steel up to 40mm thick with the additional capability of CNC drilling, countersinking, and marking in the same machine pass. This combination of plasma cutting and drilling eliminates the need to transfer parts between separate machines for typical structural steel connection plate work — the V310 cuts the plate outline and then drills bolt holes in a single automated sequence. The Voortman control system with integrated nesting software handles structural steel detail drawings automatically. The V310 integrates with Voortman's comprehensive line of structural steel processing machinery including beamlines, angle lines, and profile cutting systems.

Best For

Structural steel service centers and fabricators processing large volumes of bolt connection plates, gussets, and structural details requiring combined plasma cutting and CNC drilling.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why combine plasma cutting and drilling in one machine?

In structural steel fabrication, most plate parts need both a cut outline and drilled bolt holes. Handling parts between separate cutting and drilling machines takes time and risks positional errors. Combining both operations in one machine with a single datum reference ensures bolt holes are accurately positioned relative to the cut plate edge, and eliminates inter-machine material handling.

02 What file formats does the Voortman VACAM control accept?

The VACAM control accepts DSTV (standard European structural steel data format), DXF/DWG (AutoCAD), and IGES. DSTV is particularly valuable for structural shops as it directly imports part data from structural steel design software like Tekla Structures and Advance Steel without manual re-drawing.
