Along with the basic unit that has some optional upgrade features, there is also the fully upgraded APC 1200. It has combination plasma and oxy-fuel cutting with both torches mounted on a pivoting head. They will flip one to the other interchangeably via computer control in a second without having to do anything manually. The machine is operated primarily with the Plasma to maximize efficiency. It is preprogrammed to automatically switch to the Oxy Fuel when the material thickness is beyond the cutting capacity of the Plasma. This upgraded unit comes standard with the laser probing for automatic height adjustment.
Remote assistance can't solve all problems. Still, there are common mechanical problems and questions that require human attention. Voortman machines include high-definition webcams and software. Voortman workers can directly experience the activity at the site without having to travel. It is very useful in foreign countries and situations where it might be difficult to communicate the issue effectively.
