PL Compact | The ideal entry level

For getting started with CNC-controlled plasma cutting and performing simple cutting tasks, the PL Compact is the ideal machine. The series convinces with a compact and space-saving design as well as an excellent price-performance ratio. The PL Compact is available in four different processing areas – from 2,000 x 1,500 mm to 4,000 x 2,000 mm – and is designed especially for plasma cutting and marking. The use of high-quality components and the drive system synchronized on both sides ensure high and permanently reproducible precision of the entire guiding system.

Control

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.
