The V808 is equipped with an agile, 8-axis cutting robot that’s able to reach and process the full maximum width of profiles within the machine’s range. Due to the fact Voortman has added two extra axes on top of the six axes of the Panasonic robot itself, the machine has a very wide reach and can place itself underneath the raw material. Voortman programs the robot in a way that it always maneuvers in the most stable position, which also improves cutting quality.
Our in-house developed VACAM software is known for its high performance regarding automated material handling and buffer management. Active buffer management secures a priority position for the first profile in line while buffering following profiles. By continuously shifting profiles toward the datum line, new profiles can be loaded onto the handling system where the datum line is always provided with material. This significantly increases your productivity and efficiency, since machines are not waiting in idle mode for a next profile or production batch.
