MSF Compact series
Compact, fast, precise: The 2D laser system with a small footprint
The MSF Compact | Compact laser cutting
The MSF Compact combines precise 2D laser cutting with a compact design. This space-saving version of MicroStep‘s fiber laser machine is available in work areas of 1,000 x 2,000 mm, 1,250 x 2,500 mm and 1,500 x 3,000 mm and is particularly attractive thanks to its small footprint in combination with the genuinely high cutting quality. A manually extractable cutting table enables easy and straightforward loading.
MSF Compact machines are available with state-of-the-art fiber laser sources with a power range of 1 to 8 kW. The machines are perfect for production of highly accurate parts at high cutting speeds, with a small footprint and low maintenance and operational costs. Their high dynamics is achieved by a lowseated gantry, digital AC drives and precise planetary gears.
These customers rely on MicroStep and benefit from the MSF Compact
"This is exactly the equipment we need for our work here at the company. It is small and compact and fits exactly into our limited space. The precision is very impressive."

Software
Software from MicroStep® – developed especially for cutting
To allow you to concentrate fully on your production, our MicroStep® software solutions, drawings and cutting plans help you to intuitively convert them into finished components. Part of our product range also includes automation solutions for the organization of your entire cutting process.
Asper Basic
Asper Basic is the ideal tool for an easy and fast creation of NC programs for different cutting technologies (plasma, oxyfuel, laser or waterjet).
Control
Handles even the most complex cutting tasks – the iMSNC® machine control
iMSNC® from MicroStep is one of the most advanced control systems for CNC cutting machines. It was developed to easily, reliably, and efficiently turn cutting plans into finished parts with the help of a clear and modern user interface.
MSF Compact iMSNC® machine control
The intelligent solution for comfortable working with the laser cutting system
The system consists of an integrated control console with a 17" TFT touchscreen monitor. In order to achieve maximum utilization and flexibility of our machines, the ergonomic control console offers you the possibility – parallel to running cutting processes – to nest new cutting programs and generate additional CNC codes. As the iMSNC® control system and all CAM software solutions come from our company, the software with its versatile modules can be individually customized for your production. Parameter databases for individual technologies enable consistently high quality under various circumstances. iMSNC® comes with multiple efficient evaluation tools for production process optimization. These provide you with the much-needed overview of current cutting orders, cutting times, cost calculations and machine utilization in day-to-day production.
