Compact Laser Cutting

High-Performance Sheet Metal Laser System

The MLC Series is a high-performance compact sheet metal laser system specially designed for small to medium production batches. Its small footprint makes it ideal for low production runs and prototyping, while its versatile design makes it easy to set up, load, and program quickly.

With full covers and drawer-style loading table, it allows for safe, ergonomic and comfortable operation without sacrificing flexibility or performance.

The MLC Series comes in two different working capacities (2x1 M and 3x1.5 M), with powers up to 6 kW. It is equipped with Midnight’s intelligent cutting heads and integrated cutting software and controls, with advanced features for collision protection, micro and nano joints, smart piercing and other functions for maximizing productional efficiency.

EtherCAT

EtherCAT, the industrial Ethernet technology invented by Beckhoff, makes machines and systems faster, simpler and more cost-effective. Regarded as the "Ethernet fieldbus", it combines the advantages of Ethernet with the simplicity of classic fieldbus systems while avoiding the complexity of IT technologies. The open standard is managed by the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG), founded in 2003, and is accessible to everyone.
