High-Precision CNC Drilling & Milling System with Integrated Thermal Cutting
The MPC2000 MC is a versatile plate processing system offering up to five processes, including precision plasma, plasma beveling, oxyfuel, drilling (up to 2.5”), tapping, milling, and markers, supported by four tool stations. The MPC2000 MC ensures clean, precise cuts and holes with high accuracy. Featuring linear motion ways and reliable AC servo drives, the MPC2000 MC delivers optimal machine performance. Its drilling and milling high-suction chip vacuum system enhances operator safety and accuracy, along with a collection hopper for steel chip recycling.
Machines manufactured in North America.
Overview: Integrated Drilling, Milling & Thermal Processing
The Messer MPC2000 MC is purpose-built for operations where hole accuracy, machining quality, and process integration are critical. Unlike standard plasma cutting tables, the MPC2000 MC is designed around true CNC drilling and milling, allowing manufacturers to reduce secondary operations and improve part consistency.
By combining mechanical machining with optional plasma cutting and marking, the MPC2000 MC enables shops to process plate in a single setup, reducing handling time while maintaining tight tolerances across drilling, milling, and cutting operations.
