The MSF Max series | Laser cutting for large-scale applications

The MSF Max is the giant among fiber laser cutting solutions. The 3D high-speed cutting machine was designed for precise processing – including efficient bevel cutting – of large-sized shipbuilding components. The machine offers an extensive production versatility. This includes 2D cutting, bevel cutting up to 45°, drilling up to 30 mm in diameter, tapping up to M20, countersinking and marking.

 

The machine‘s mobile safety cabin enables utilization of a work area up to 50 meters long and 6 meters wide. Thanks to the cabin‘s mobile feature, it is possible to cut in one zone and load and unload outside the cutting zone at the same time, ensuring minimum idle times. The patented auto-calibration system ACTG® guarantees long-term accuracy of the bevel cutting process. In MSF Max, the ACTG® station is efficiently integrated into the gantry to speed up the calibration process.

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

Asper Basic is the ideal tool for an easy and fast creation of NC programs for different cutting technologies (plasma, oxyfuel, laser or waterjet).

Asper Nesting

Asper Nesting

With Asper Nesting, you can easily and intuitively nest component drawings into efficient cutting plans.

MicroStep mCAM

MicroStep mCAM

mCAM is an efficient tool for the automated 3D production on pipes, profiles, domes, IPE carriers but also flat sheets with cutting systems of different technologies.

MPM Production Management

MPM Production Management

MPM forms the basis for automated cutting. It automatically nests complex cutting jobs and projects on the right material and distributes the cutting plans to cutting machines for processing.

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 iMSNC® machine control

Intelligent solution for cross-technology work with the laser cutting system
 

The system consists of a stand-alone control console with a 24" TFT touchscreen monitor. If cameras are implemented in the interior, the existing touchscreen can be supplemented with an additional screen for displaying live images. 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.

 

Overview of important performance data:

  • MMi console and 24’’ touchscreen
  • Display of existing cameras in the interior via additional screen (optional)
  • Efficient management of tool data
  • Very short programming times
  • Fast data transfer
  • Flexible and easy to use
  • Advanced cutting simulation for more work safety
  • Convenient contextual help via pop-up bubbles
