Robotic Coping Machine Accident

The integrated VACAD Editor gives your operators the ability to increase output by quickly creating new products or improving and correcting existing products. The interface is simple and straightforward with clear functionality. After just a few days training with Voortman Trainers, operators can take full advantage of VACAD Editors and VACAM.

After installing a machine or production line, Voortman installs a net of safety measures. These safety measures comprise of light curtains, emergency cords and emergency stop buttons. Voortman has made it one of its priorities to deliver a safe production line, yet not hold up production if the operator needs to enter the safe zone. This is accomplished by using gated light curtains allowing loading and unloading while the machines continue processing, and by delivering remote controls with a kill switch that operators can use when carrying out tasks inside the safety zone.

FAST PROFILE MESSURINGThe Voortman TL-1800G3 coping Robot is compatible with the Voortman v808 robotic thermal cutter machine. The measuring sensor fitted to the torch nozzle of this robot allows for precise measurement of profile dimensions. To ensure the best result possible, the difference between the actual and theoretical profile dimensions is compensated during the cutting process. To save time, the robot only measures the sides to be cut.

The Voortman V808 robotic thermal cutting machine as all other machines is delivered with the VACAM operating software, this means all machines talk the same “language”. This makes the V808 incredibly versatile and can be part of a complete new layout including roller conveyors and cross-transports connected to other Voortman processing machines, or as a stand-alone processing center.

The V808 roller feeder measurement and clamping systems locks profiles in the exact position and maintains alignment through processing. This fully automatic measuring and positioning roller feed system is faster than any other because it does not need a pusher, gripper or to return home before loading the next item. This saves hours each week. Voortman’s roll feed system works in a standard range with profile processing. Voortman’s automation in-feed cross transportations allow for full automation. This allows Voortman to accurately position and process beams upto 15.000 kg (33,000lbs).

The PCR42 robotic Plasma Cutting Machine does beam coping. Notches, holes and welding preps are performed. Split beams can also be split. Scribes can be used to mark all four faces of H beams, channels, angles, HSS or plates.

We have created a real-time demo product that shows you how the Voortman v808 robotic thermal cutting machine is the fastest on the market. The Voortman V808 is fast! Watch the video below. This product contains 12 different actions. They are all performed by one machine.

Voortman puts in safety measures after installing a machine. These safety measures consist of emergency cords, light curtains, or emergency stop buttons. Voortman's top priorities include delivering a safe production system, while not allowing operators to stop production from entering the zone. Operators can access the safety zone by using remote controls equipped with a kill button and gated light curtain to allow loading and unloading.
