Voortman MO Heavy-Duty
The Voortman MO Heavy-Duty is a high-performance pipe cutting solution designed for large diameter pipes, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, and tanks. Capable of handling round pipes and dished ends with a maximum diameter of 4,000 mm (160") and a pipe weight of up to 45 metric tons, this machine is engineered for extreme durability and precision. Featuring six CNC-controlled axes and 3D cutting technology utilizing both plasma and oxyfuel, the Voortman MO Heavy-Duty ensures reliable and accurate pipe profiling, making it an ideal solution for demanding industrial applications.
Specifications and technical data:
- Maximum pipe diameter: 4,000 mm (160").
- Maximum pipe weight: 45 metric tons.
- Equipped with 6 CNC-controlled axes.
- 3D cutting with plasma and oxyfuel.
- Robust construction for high durability.
- High-precision pipe profiling.
Supported processes:
- Plasma cutting.
- Plasma 3D bevel cutting.
- Oxy-fuel cutting.
- Plasma marking.
Extended machine functions:
The machine offers efficient thermal cutting of dished ends, reducing handling time and ensuring high-quality cuts. With an optional tiltable chuck, cutouts with weld bevel preparation can be executed with ease, optimizing working space and operational efficiency.
Enhanced operator control:
Large-diameter pipes can obstruct the operator’s view of the cutting process. The Voortman MO Heavy-Duty addresses this issue with an operator’s platform that can be raised and lowered along with the control computer, ensuring optimal visibility during operations.
Cutting features and processes:
- Torch Head: Adjustable by +/- 70° for flexible cutting angles ranging from 20° to 160°, with a 360° rotation capability.
- Laser Sensor: Scans pipes before cutting to correct variations and maintain a consistent distance between the torch and the pipe surface.
- Electromechanical Tracer: Measures circularity errors and compensates for heat-induced deformations.
- Slide System: Maintains optimal cutting distance for high-quality plasma cutting.
Oxy-fuel cutting package:
- Gas supply with solenoid valve control.
- Pressure adjustment manometer.
- Ignition torch and solenoid-controlled cutting torch.
- Cutting nozzle package for different thicknesses.
- Operator protection package.
- Maximum wall thickness: 150 mm (5.9").
- Maximum cut length: 200 mm (7.8").
Plasma cutting:
The Voortman MO Heavy-Duty employs Hypertherm plasma cutting technology, a globally recognized leader in precision cutting solutions.
Marking and printing features:
- Needle Marking System: Enables axis line drawing and footprint marking for steel and tank construction.
- Needle Printing System: Prints texts with adjustable marking depths for pipe identification.
- Label Printing: Generates labels with cutting information for easy identification.
- Plasma Marking System: Used for marking, notching, and punching on unalloyed and stainless steel pipes.
- Inkjet Marking and Printing: Provides an alternative for complex applications requiring detailed labeling.
Pipe carriage systems:
- Mechanical Pipe Carriage: Supports up to 7.5 tonnes with manual scissor-type adjustment.
- Hydraulic Pipe Carriage: Offers electrical height adjustment and supports up to 15 tonnes.
- Motorized Drive System: Optional pneumatic motor for heavy pipe movement and braking.
