Features

Intelligence Behind Every Cut

Advanced process functions help maintain high-quality results across standard and non-standard shapes, complex contours and demanding cutting edges throughout production.

Smart Machine Design

Rigid machine frames, dynamic gantries and backlash-free linear guides enable accurate small holes, sharp inner corners and smooth outer contours.

Intelligent Torch Holder

ITH for bevel heads combines anti-collision protection, position sensors, dual initial height sensing and pneumatic balancing, with precise torch return after collision.

ACTG® Calibration

ACTG® automatically measures bevel-head geometry and compensates X, Y and Z deviations across the operating range, reducing manual adjustment and downtime.

Adaptive Height Control

ATHC uses arc voltage for adaptive torch-height control, while STHC learns angle-specific values for accurate height control during variable-angle beveling.

Smart Z Movement

Smart Z Movement combines simultaneous X, Y and Z movement with torch height adjustment, reducing non-cutting transitions and processing time.

Advanced Beveling

ABP® lets you add bevels to already straight-cut parts, while ABC automatically compensates process-related deviations in bevel angles.

PowerHole Technology

PowerHole produces high-quality holes with reduced taper and minimized lead-in and lead-out nibs, particularly at challenging hole-to-thickness ratios.

Environmental Safety

UV shielding and zoned extraction improve operator safety and fume extraction efficiency while optimizing energy consumption.

Automation & Material Handling

Keep Material Moving

Reduce manual handling, shorten material transfer times and keep your plasma cutting process running at high utilization.

Automatic Torch Changer

Let production run autonomously with automatic plasma torch head swaps when consumables require replacement. Applicable to 2D, 3D and robotic plasma tool stations.

Automatic Loading & Unloading

Speed up the movement of material into and out of the cutting process with automated handling systems such as automatic cranes and loaders.

Efficient Material Transfer

Move material automatically with manipulators, conveyors and shuttle tables, reducing waiting and non-productive handling time.

Automatic Sorting

Automatically unload and sort finished parts with MSSort systems for faster transfer to downstream production processes.

Connected Material Flow

Integrate cutting with storage, production management and third-party handling systems for a more connected production workflow.

MSLoop

Synchronize loading, cutting and unloading in separate zones to keep the cutting process running while material is prepared or removed.

Plasma Machines

From Workpiece to Complete Part
in One Go

We help you select the best-fit 2D, bevel, 3D or robotic plasma solution for your material shapes, with marking, drilling and milling integrated as needed.

MicroStep plasma machines can combine multiple cutting and machining processes in a single CNC system, allowing you to produce weld-ready parts in one process.
