SMART Compact X
Cost-effective 2D laser cutting
SMART Compact X | Cost-effetive 2D laser cutting
The SMART Compact X fiber laser cutting system from MicroStep Europa and our technology partner ACCURL offers a straightforward and extremely cost-effective entry into 2D laser cutting. It is the perfect solution for companies seeking a reliable entry-level solution for typical cutting tasks—with a focus on an attractive investment cost.
With the SMART Compact X, only the laser gantry is enclosed, not the entire machine. This innovative machine design significantly reduces the space required while also allowing for particularly easy and quick access to the cutting table—ideal for loading and unloading material using an overhead crane or forklift.
The series is available in a processing format of 3,000 × 1,500 mm and can be equipped with fiber laser sources of up to 12 kW.
Low investment, operating, and maintenance costs make the SMART Compact X the ideal entry-level solution for laser processing. High-quality components ensure reliable and stable production.

Software
Software for your laser cutting system
To enable you to concentrate fully on your production, the following software solution helps you intuitively convert drawings and cutting plans into finished components. Of course, solutions from alternative manufacturers, such as Lantek or Libellula, can also be used. Which solution is suitable for your application depends on the individual configuration of your cutting system's control system – we are happy to advise you personally!

CypNest
CypNest is a powerful nesting software developed specifically for laser cutting systems, enabling efficient and material-saving nesting of cut parts.
Control
The system is equipped with the TWINCUT S80 machine control system from ACCURL, a state-of-the-art EtherCAT CNC platform for maximum process reliability, efficiency, and repeatability.
TWINCUT S80 machine control
Process reliability, efficiency, and repeatability
The TWINCUT S80 CNC control system takes over the complete control of all cutting components and the associated peripherals. It is equipped as standard with a user-friendly HMI (Human Machine Interface), which can be conveniently controlled via a 21.5" touchscreen or an ergonomic hand-held operating device.
The clear graphical user interface enables intuitive operation and quick familiarization for users. The control system is based on a robust industrial PC, which is integrated together with all other control components in a separate control cabinet. The power and signal lines are routed in a secure cable duct.
To ensure optimum cutting quality, the control system features fast automatic height control for a constant distance to the workpiece and CNC-controlled compensation mechanisms for precise laser focus positioning.
The following functions are also integrated as standard:
- Sheet metal layer detection for automatic alignment of the cutting process
- Smart Piercing for optimized piercing processes
- Smart Laser Off to reduce unproductive times
- Smooth Microjoin for improved component quality
- Auto Recut when incomplete cuts are detected
- Integrated CAD/CAM system for simple and efficient programming
