Voortman MO Classic

The Voortman MO Classic series offers advanced solutions for precise and efficient pipe cutting. Designed for round pipes with a maximum diameter of up to 2,000 mm (80") and a pipe weight capacity of up to 30 tons, this series accommodates various cutting requirements. Additionally, it supports square, rectangular pipes, and dished ends as an optional feature. The series is available in multiple models, ensuring adaptability to diverse industrial needs.

By integrating numerous technical options, the MO Classic machines can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements. These machines feature up to 7 CNC-controlled axes, providing exceptional precision. While the standard configuration includes six CNC axes optimized for round workpieces, an additional seventh CNC axis is necessary for cutting square and rectangular pipes. This upgrade enhances operational versatility, making the MO Classic series a comprehensive cutting solution.

Specifications and Technical Data:

• Supports multi-process cutting with plasma and oxy-fuel.
• Handles round pipes up to 2,000 mm (80"), square and rectangular pipes up to 640 x 640 mm, and vessel heads up to 2,000 mm (80").
• Equipped with 6 or 7 CNC-controlled axes for enhanced precision.
• Capable of 3D cutting using plasma and oxy-fuel technology.

Supported Cutting Processes:

• Plasma cutting.
• Plasma 3D bevel cutting.
• Oxy-fuel cutting.
• Plasma marking.

Machine Function Extensions:

• MO Classic Rollerbed: This version eliminates the need for a chuck clamping system, making it ideal for round pipes up to 1,500 mm (60") in diameter and 24 tons in weight. This setup reduces dead zones, minimizes material waste, and improves cost-efficiency.
• MO Classic (Pipe, Square & Rectangular Cutting): This model extends the machine's capabilities to include thermal profiling of square and rectangular pipes. It features an additional transverse axis (7th CNC axis) to ensure precision in cutting non-round profiles.
• MO Classic (Pipe & Dome Cutting): This variant is designed for cutting dished ends, significantly reducing handling time while delivering high-quality cuts. The machine is equipped with a tiltable chuck that rotates hydraulically to facilitate precise cutouts with weld bevel preparation.

Features for Enhanced Cutting Performance:

• Plasma Cutting System: Utilizes advanced plasma cutting technology from Hypertherm, a leading manufacturer in the industry.
• Module for Cutting Cones: The machine can be adapted to cut cones by modifying the chuck and pipe carriage.
• Torch Head: The torch head is adjustable by +/- 70°, providing a wide cutting range between 20° and 160° relative to the pipe axis, with full 360° rotation capability.
• Laser Sensor: Ensures optimal cutting precision by scanning the pipe surface and adjusting the torch height accordingly.
• Electromechanical Tracer: Helps detect and correct circularity errors, particularly useful when processing small-diameter pipes or irregular surfaces.
• Slide System: Maintains an optimal torch-to-pipe distance for consistent cutting quality, even during high-speed plasma cutting operations.
• Oxy-Fuel Cutting Package: Includes solenoid-controlled gas supply, ignition torch, operator protection, and the ability to cut pipes up to 150 mm (5.9") in wall thickness.
• Preheating Torch: Improves cutting efficiency and contour quality, reducing cutting time by up to 50%.

Marking and Printing Features:

• Plasma Marking System: Enables marking, notching, and punching for both unalloyed and stainless steel pipes.
• Inkjet Marking and Printing: Provides an alternative solution for complex applications requiring printed labels or inscriptions.
• Needle Marking System: Used for marking axis lines in tank and steel construction, ensuring precise alignment during welding.
• Needle Printing System: Prints texts with adjustable marking depths, ideal for labeling pipes quickly and efficiently.
• Label Printing: Generates adhesive labels with cut specifications, simplifying workflow management.

Pipe Carriage Features:

• Hold-Down Device: Stabilizes curved pipes during rotation to prevent inaccuracies and ensure precise cuts.
• Floating Chuck: Secures large, heavy pipes with deviations, preventing slippage during cutting.
• Carriage for Square and Rectangular Pipes: Provides additional support for rectangular and square pipes during rotation.
• Mechanical Pipe Carriage: Supports up to 7.5 tons and features manual spindle adjustment for different pipe diameters.
• Hydraulic Pipe Carriage: Offers hydraulic adjustments and supports loads of 2.5 or 7.5 tons depending on the machine size.
• Chuck Height Adjustment: Allows automatic height positioning to match different pipe diameters.
• Ball Gutter System: Available in manual or motorized configurations for handling pipes up to 2 tons.
