Metallbau Gruber, a family-owned company in the northeast of Landshut, stands for fast, flexible and customized solutions in building construction \u2013 from stairs and railings to roofing. For sheet metal cutting, the metal construction company has been relying on a multifunctional CNC cutting system from MicroStep’s MG series since 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Started in 2019 as a one-man operation, Metallbau Gruber experienced significant growth as early as 2021, leading it to construct a new production and office building in W\u00f6rth an der Isar. Today, the company employs 19 people and offers a wide range of services: custom-made balconies, stairs, railings, canopies, fences, light wells, as well as girders, carports and pergolas. From measuring to installation, the Lower Bavarian company serves customers within a radius of about 100 kilometers \u2013 including mainly public clients such as a Munich-based residential construction company that has currently commissioned steelwork for 230 new residential units.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

MicroStep technology is convincing all along the line<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For several years, Metallbau Gruber worked with external cutting companies for cutting. A visit to Merkle Schwei\u00dftechnik in Landshut, a MicroStep dealer, finally brought about a change: Alois Bergmann (area sales manager at MicroStep Europa) presented the diverse portfolio of MicroStep CNC technologies to owner Erwin Gruber. \u201cUntil then, we had not yet seriously considered purchasing our own cutting system, but we wanted to be future-proof. Alois Bergmann convinced me completely. He knew a great deal that other salespeople often cannot answer,\u201d reports Gruber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convinced of the advantages of an investment in the area of cutting and after a brief comparison with another manufacturer, the choice was clear: a system from MicroStep’s MG series. The configuration was individually tailored to the company’s requirements in order to be optimally equipped for the future: a plasma rotator, oxyfuel support and a fully automatic drilling unit are included, as is a pipe cutting device for pipes with a diameter of up to 300 mm and a length of 6,000 mm. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Versatile use for in-house production and contract work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since it was commissioned in May 2023, the system has been used in particular to cut stringers for stairs and railings made of steel and stainless steel with material thicknesses of up to 20 mm. In the future, Metallbau Gruber plans to utilize the machine even more \u2013 both for its own production and for contract orders from other companies. \u201cThe machine is really top-notch! I am very satisfied,\u201d says Erwin Gruber enthusiastically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

OVERVIEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MG PLASMA CUTTING SYSTEM:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
    \n
  • Flexible plasma cutting system for 3D processing of sheet metal and tubes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Metallbau Gruber invested in a flexible plasma cutting system of the MG series. The multifunctional cutting system is designed for the highest demands and long-term repeatability of precise results. The MicroStep Plasmarotator for 3D bevel cutting, e.g. for weld edge preparation up to 52\u00b0, was integrated The working area for sheets is 6,000 x 1,500 mm. A pipe cutting device of the type RSV 30-300 also enables the efficient processing of pipes and profiles with a diameter of 30 mm to 300 mm and a length of 6,000 mm using plasma technology MicroStep’s patented automatic calibration unit ACTG\u00ae ensures permanently reliable and precise results. A powerful Kjellberg Q3000 with an automatic gas console and Contour Cut Speed technology is used as the plasma power source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 2D cutting of higher material thicknesses with fully automatic oxyfuel torch<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      In addition to the plasma rotator, the system also has an oxyfuel burner for 2D contours, even in thicker materials. The GCE\u00ae FIT+ model is used as the machine cutting torch, while the capacitive height control ensures the correct distance between the torch and the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Fully automatic drilling spindle for drill holes up to 40 mm in diameter and threads up to M3<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The multifunctional system also includes a fully automatic drilling spindle. This powerful machining technology can be used to drill, tap and countersink holes in metal sheets. Drill holes from 4 to 40 mm in diameter and threads from M5 to M30 are possible. Tool calibration for consistently precise results is also performed using MicroStep’s ACTG system. An automatic 8-station tool magazine is located on the gantry for efficient, fast tool changes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
