The Voortman Tube Laser – High Precision Processing that is Competitively Priced
SEMI-AUTOMATIC LOADING SYSTEM
The semi-automatic loading system streamlines profile preparation by lifting entire bundles into the material warehouse. Once manually placed in the loading area the system automatically separates and feeds them into the cutting position.
AUTO CENTERING
Automatic centering and clamping system for precise support of various profiles. The pneumatic chuck ensures circular precision of +/-0.1 mm, reducing setup time when switching between tube diameters and profiles.
BACKSIDE PROCESSING
The advanced chuck system also enables backside processing and cutting, boosting productivity and versatility. It securely grips the profile for precise cuts, even when working from both ends.
ADJUSTABLE CLAMPING FORCE
Adjustable clamping force is ideal for handling small, thin profiles. It securely grips delicate materials without distortion, ensuring high-quality results and automatically adapts to each profile’s size and thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Voortman V845 and V842?
The V845 Baseline is best for heavy-duty tube, beam, and structural profile cutting, including H/I beams and larger profiles. The V842 Baseline is best for small-to-medium tube and pipe cutting where speed, accuracy, and cost-effective fiber laser processing are the priority.
Can Voortman tube lasers cut square and round tube?
Yes. Voortman tube lasers can process both round tube and square tube. Depending on the model and configuration, they can also process rectangular profiles, pipe, and structural shapes.
Can the V845 cut H beams and I beams?
Yes. The Voortman V845 is designed to cut H beams and I beams, along with round tubes, square tubes, rectangular profiles, and other structural profiles. This makes it a strong option for structural fabricators and heavy steel processors.
What material lengths can the V845 and V842 process?
Both the V845 Baseline and V842 Baseline can be configured to process material lengths of 20 ft, 30 ft, or 40 ft, depending on the selected machine setup and production requirements.
What laser power options are available?
The Voortman V845 Baseline is available with 6 kW, 12 kW, or 20 kW laser power options. The Voortman V842 Baseline is available with 3 kW, 6 kW, or 12 kW laser power options.
What is backside processing?
Backside processing allows the machine to cut or process the opposite side of the tube or profile without requiring the operator to manually remove, flip, and reload the material. The chuck system grips and repositions the profile so the machine can complete more cuts in one automated workflow. This improves productivity, accuracy, and material utilization.
What is automatic centering and why does it matter?
Automatic centering aligns the tube or profile inside the chuck system before cutting begins. This helps the laser maintain accurate positioning around the material, reduces setup time, and improves cut consistency when switching between different tube sizes, diameters, or profiles. It is especially helpful when processing a mix of material shapes and wall thicknesses.
Is the V842 a good entry-level tube laser?
Yes. The Voortman V842 Baseline is a strong entry-level fiber tube laser for shops that need accurate, efficient cutting of small to medium-sized tubes and round pipe. It offers automatic centering, backside processing, semi-automatic loading, and configurable laser power in a more cost-effective package than a heavy-duty structural profile machine.
