The ProfileCut series

All-rounder for beams

The ProfileCut series is purpose-built for the production of steel structures, delivering exceptional efficiency and cost-effectiveness in cutting and marking commonly used beam and profile types.

ProfileCut Machinery

In addition to its optional pipe and plate cutting capabilities, this machine boasts a dedicated area for precise cutting of beams, including I, H, U, or L shapes. To ensure accuracy in processing beams at specific locations, ProfileCut machines are equipped with a laser scanner that meticulously measures the exact beam shape at the cutting point. This advanced feature enables the control system to dynamically adjust the tool’s movement to align perfectly with the unique shape of each beam.

Moreover, ProfileCut machines provide extensive automation options, encompassing automatic loading, feeding, sorting, and unloading of beams through feeding and conveyor systems. A dedicated production management software further enhances operational efficiency.

The versatility of ProfileCut extends with an additional dome cutting area, allowing the processing of dished ends. This capability transforms ProfileCut into an all-in-one solution for the precise processing of 3D materials, solidifying its position as an invaluable tool in steel structure manufacturing.

Integration of technologies

MPM: MicroStep’s innovative Production Management Software

The ProfileCut series can be flexibly adapted to your production need. The system can be equipped with a drilling support for the precise placement of holes, cuts and threads. Labelling technologies for the identification of final support sections can also be integrated.

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.

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.

Overview of important performance data:

  • 24’’ touchscreen
  • 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

2D Cutting

The excellent cutting quality and dimensional accuracy of our 2D cutting systems reduces the post-processing of finished parts to a minimum.

Oxyfuel ensures efficient and angular cuts into thick materials. On a system with a plasma source, oxyfuel is the perfect addition to cutting costs in a thicker material region.

Bevel Cutting

The perfect setting of a cutting tool is precise bevel cutting. The patented MicroStep® ACTG measures calibration inaccuracies and discrepancies in the burner geometry and corrects them.

The Micro Step R5 Rotator is a five -axis bevel unit, which has been specially designed for 3D processing of flat material , pipes, profiles and dished ends . The rotator is mounted on a rigid design of a Z -axis support on the gantry of flame cutting equipment. Through a spiral bevel ring gear a highly precise and silent movement is created.

Drilling, Tapping, Countersinking

Precision drilled and cut parts with just one machine – compliment your cutting plans with the fully automatic drilling system of MicroStep® developed precisely to ensure all steps. These include tool changes and optional measurement and calibration of the tool. Drilling up to 30 mm Ø, threads up to M20.

The fully automatic controlled 6 – tool magazine is co-moving, and is located directly on the side of the machine gantry. This allows very fast tool changes with minimal distances.

High capacity and optimum protection for your tool. The fully automatic sealable 8 -station tool magazine is located at the end of the cutting table. After a quick tool change, the magazine closes again automatically and protects the tool from dirt and damage.

Marking and Labelling

The inkjet marking unit with a nozzle suitable for single-line marking and labelling tasks. The size of the printed dots is about 3 mm.

By using a non-contact unit for ink jet marking, placed plates of up to 20,000 mm / min can be labelled. Alphanumeric characters, graphics and bar codes can be applied in a high resolution. Due to the technology used, innovation can be applied to various materials without damaging the surface. The low ink consumption and virtually wear -free technology, compared to other marking, will help to reduce your operating costs.

The needle marker uses a high- performance needle and penetrates the material to be marked up to 2.0 mm. Driven by Micro Step iMSNC® machine control it works the cutting job into the nested cutting plan automatically. We do not recommend the use of oily or rusty materials. The feed is based on the use of a high needle markers of up to 2,000.

Scanning, Reading

The barcode scanning unit automatically reads the material lying on the cutting table, as long as they are provided with a bar code. In connection with the MicroStep® production management “MPM” it forms the base for automated plasma cutting. Retrieving material information (material thickness, quality, format, batch, etc.), as well as automatic nesting of outstanding cutting.

Automation

Micro Step cutting machines can be equipped with automatic lubrication devices. All important points are thus automatically lubricated and assist the operator in the maintenance of the cutting system. By pressing a button the lubrication is performed and upon completion the user is informed.

MicroStep infoMessage® immediately informs you via SMS when your cutting machine stops during the processing of a cutting plan – no matter where you are. This allows you a fast and targeted intervention and the cutting plan can be recorded again. This saves on expensive machine downtime and increases the efficiency of your cutting system.

Safety

The safety enclosure can be used universally for all technologies and ensures complete protection for employees whilst the cutting process is on the go.
