INTRODUCTION

The Voortman MO Heavy-Duty is built for extreme 3D profiling. It handles pipes up to Ø4.000 mm with ease. Its 6 CNC-controlled axes, combined with advanced plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, ensure precision and efficiency in the toughest conditions. Designed for heavy industries such as offshore, shipbuilding, and large-scale infrastructure, it handles oversized materials with precision and reliability. When size, strength, and accuracy matter, the MO Heavy-Duty gets the job done.

MAIN BENEFITS

UNMATCHED PRECISION

PRECISE MECHANICAL COMPONENTS

The machine is equipped with precise mechanical components designed for high dynamics without compromising accuracy. This ensures increased production capacity while maintaining exceptional precision, allowing the machine to produce more accurate parts in less time.

EXTRA ROBUST MACHINE DESIGN

The rigid, durable structure minimizes vibrations for stable, high-quality cuts. No extra edge preparation needed. This is especially important for extremely large and heavy pipes, preventing vibrations during rotation.

MULTIPOST DUST SECTION

During cutting, especially with a plasma source, a clean and dust-free working environment is essential for the operator and staff. The machine has an exhaust and filtration system for fume extraction. It works through the cutting head and chuck via a dedicated duct.

ZERO POINT CAMERA

For large pipes, the operator cannot see the top from the ground. Setting the zero point by eye is difficult. To solve this, a camera can be installed on the cutting head, showing the view on the control panel.

FEATURES
FOR CUTTING

THE HEAVIEST MACHINE ON THE MARKET

The MO Heavy-Duty stands out as one of the largest on the market, capable of processing pipes up to 4000 mm in diameter with a proven track record. Its unique strength is handling pipes as small as 200 mm in diameter, rare for its scale.

ADVANCED 3D TORCH HEAD

The advanced 3D cutting torch, resembling a robotic arm but more stable, ensures high-precision cuts on round pipes. It tilts up to 70° (oxyfuel) for offshore cuts or 45° (plasma) and rotates 360° around its axis, while being fully protected from dust, dirt, and cutting particles.

DOME CUTTING

Dome cutting is made possible by a patented tiltable chuck for pipes up to 2,000 mm in diameter, significantly saving valuable workshop space. Thus saves a lot of valuable space in the workshop. For larger domes up to 4,000 mm, an additional station is available due to the complexity of the process. The robust and stable system ensures smooth operation and guarantees precision cutting.

HEIGHT LASER SENSOR

Corrects variations between the cutting torch and pipe or dome surface. Before cutting, the laser sensor scans the pipe or dome. The measured points are then compared to the actual dimensions. The software interpolates a correction value for the height of the torch head. The distance between the torch and pipe surface is thus kept constant over the entire cutting curve.

TORCH HEIGHT CONTROL

The distance between the torch and the surface of the cutting pipe is not fixed at a single position. However, thanks to the electromechanical tracer and the additional sliding 6th W-axis, the cutting height is automatically adjusted at any angle. This system ensures the correct distance is maintained. It guarantees optimal cutting quality even during high-speed plasma cutting.

PREHEATER FOR OXYFUEL

A tool that significantly improves cutting speed on thick materials. The preheating torch improves cut contours. A preheating torch reduces cutting time with 50%, with a flame cutting angle of 45°.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

"We had encountered various cutting machines in the market, but nothing came close to the capabilities of this machine."
