FAQ

Messer Cutting Systems, is a global supplier of industry leading cutting machines at the forefront of technology. Our philosophy is to provide complete solutions, strategically focused on our customers and on customer-driven innovation. Our global company is active in more than 50 countries, with more than 900 employees in five manufacturing locations for Messer Cutting Systems.

Our expert salesmen will analyze your planning needs and recommend the right solution for your company. Whether you need plasma or oxyfuel bevel cutting, fiber laser, drilling, marking or material handling, pipe or tube cutting, we will support you fully with technical expertise, software training and after sales support. All machines are designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.S.A, at the Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin plant. Our North American service offices and dealers/distributors are located throughout United States, Canada, and Mexico. Our product process includes oxyfuel, plasma and laser cutting machines.

How long it takes plays a significant role in cost per part.

When companies invest in an automated plasma cutting machine, they expect to get a true cost-per-part savings. Yet some fail to consider the time it takes to create a high-quality, steel-cut part.

For equipment users, the main qualifiers in generating an exceptional piece part includes part accuracy, dross-free cuts, bevel angle, edge quality, hole quality, consumable wear, etc. Yet the biggest qualifier is time, meaning the actual time it takes to produce the part or part nesting.

Fabricators and machine operators instinctively understand that physically touching and moving parts around and off the table only adds time and labor costs. Due to the historic design of thermal cutting machines, parts are often cut and then relocated to another machine for additional machining processes.

In the US, Messer Cutting Systems began in 1955 under the name CRO Engineering. CRO stood for the first names of the founding partners, Carl, Rudy, and Orville. CRO began as a specialty machine tool builder addressing one-of-a-kind applications.

The cutting machine line designed by Rudy Kleine would be known as the “Mono Trak” stemming from the center mounted round long axis rail. This machine was photo-optically controlled and used an aluminum transverse beam and main carriage.

Hundreds of these Mono Trak machines were sold in the 1960’s. Additionally, a profile milling machine was developed based on the same frame. This machine was called a “Profi-Mill” and was purchased by major aircraft builders throughout the world.

CRO Engineering pioneered many of the fundamental applications which are common today such as NC control, CNC control and laser cutting. In 1969, CRO Engineering delivered the first American built numerically controlled LASER cutting machine for shape cutting titanium in the aerospace industry.
