The DRM series
The special system for toughest requirements
The DRM series | The strong specialist
If you are looking for cross-technology work processes, highest precision and reliability for the toughest requirements, the DRM series is the right choice. This strong specialist is a flexible and robust cutting system for almost any cutting task. The plasma cutting system allows 3D processing of sheets, pipes, profiles & domes with extraordinary dimensions.
The very stable portal allows a vibration-free operation of heavy technologies such as the 3-torch unit oxyfuel or the special plasma rotator "Pantograph" (120° tiltable) with a Z-axis stroke up to 1,500 mm or several 3-torch units. The heaviest drilling supports up to 55 kW can be realized. The DRM can also be designed as a pure drilling rig with special drilling table.
A revolutionary technology has been available since 2016 for an unprecedented quality in dome processing: With mSCAN®, exact contours and high-precision bevel cuts are now standard for domes.
"The systems run and do what they are supposed to do. There's simply no substitute for this dome production machine," says Heiko Kunze, Head of Maintenance at Feldbinder Spezialfahrzeugwerke GmbH.
These customers rely on MicroStep and benefit from the DRM
"After ten years of searching, for the first time we had the feeling that there is someone who wants to sell something that he also knows how to master. Thanks to the omnivalence, the system is in daily use. It replaces two machines, for us that's the optimum."

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.
MicroStep iMSNC® machine control
The intelligent solution for multi-technology work
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. The system’s hardware consists of a stand-alone control console with a TFT touchscreen and a control panel with an LCD display mounted on the gantry. In order to achieve maximum utilization and flexibility of our machines, the ergonomic control console offers the opportunity to nest new cutting programs and generate new CNC codes during an ongoing cutting process. 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.
