MC Machinery’s lasers, press brakes, automation systems at FABTECH


MC Machinery will be showcasing the GX-F Advanced artificial intelligence-enabled 12kw and 10kw fiber lasers with the newest laser automation systems at FABTECH in booth B6709, where laser experts will be available to answer questions and provide live demos.

The 12kw fiber laser is the newest addition to MC Machinery’s Mitsubishi Laser lineup. It’ll be connected to the SmartFlex Element Type R automation system, while the 10kw GX-F Advanced will be connected to the new ASTES4 Skyway High Speed laser sorting system.

Several press brakes and press brake automation will be displayed and available for live demonstrations, including:

  • Mitsubishi Diamond Series BH - Hybrid Press Brake (BH 1353) with Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and Angle Measurement System (AMS)
  • Mitsubishi Diamond Series BB - Electric Press Brake (BB 306)
  • Mitsubishi Diamond Series BB - Electric Press Brake (BB 6020) with robotic cell
  • ADIRA PA Basic - Hydraulic Press Brake
  • ADIRA PA Plus - Hydraulic Press Brake

The GX-F Advanced series of fiber lasers
The newest line of Mitsubishi fiber lasers is the only in the industry with a single source for service and support.

Intuitive AI technology makes the GX-F Advanced Series easy to use for operators of all skill levels – especially valuable because of the ongoing shortage of skilled manufacturing workers.

By integrating the most advanced gas reduction technology, the new GX-F Advanced Series delivers more power while using up to 77 percent less nitrogen.

The GX-F Advanced also offers:

  • High processing stability with superior beam-quality consistency
  • Beam cleaning and anti-reflection technologies
  • Faster and more stable processing
  • Reduced operator input
  • No setup time between materials
  • Lower operating cost translates into higher profitability
  • Longer consumables life
  • No material-surface scratching
  • Optimized cutting speed
  • On-site or remote monitoring of cutting process
  • Reduced piercing time

Laser automation
The SmartFlex Element Type R has a small footprint that makes it perfect for shops with limited production space that still need high-volume, lights-out capabilities.

The ASTES4 Skyway High Speed laser sorting system is a solution for fabricators facing worker shortages and bottlenecks resulting from the increased productivity of higher-volume fiber lasers. The high-speed modular sorting solution significantly maximizes the productivity and efficiency of downstream operations.

Press brakes
The following MC Machinery press brakes will be at FABTECH:

Mitsubishi Diamond Series BH: The BH 1353 hybrid press brake will be available for demonstration with both an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and Angle Measurement System (AMS). The Diamond Series BH is known for repeat/stop accuracy, ease of operation and the capability to bend thick material while maintaining tight tolerances.

Mitsubishi Diamond Series BB: The BB 306 electric press brake features an AC servo motor and ball screw mechanism for high-speed productivity and repeatability (± 0.001mm).

Mitsubishi Diamond Series BB: The BB 6020 electric press brake will feature the all-new Mitsubishi Electric robotic bending cell.

ADIRA PA Basic Series: With an attractive price-to-performance ratio, the PA Basic Series meets the highest standards for precision bending in a hydraulic press brake. 

ADIRA PA Plus Series: The PA Plus Series of hydraulic press brakes combines functionality and versatility in one powerful package. It offers the benefits of the PA Basic for powerful and accurate bending, along with additional features and options for more complex parts.
