Mechtronic Industries

Mechtronic Industries is a family enterprise. It has been so since its foundation 12 years ago. It was then that John Maulson set out to develop his concept for profiling machines. He was assisted by his son John Maulson Jnr who bought to the concept into being with his expertise in electronics and software design. ather and son continue to this day to be the driving force and creative talent behind the company and its products. Janice Maulson provides administrative support - and motherly reassurance! Your profiling needs may not be on the scale of eastern panel work either in wood or aluminium. But whatever your needs you want the best machine for the job. You need assurance of consistency and accuracy in a mass production environment. You need to minimise the cost and maximise the return on investment. You don't want problems of heat distortion and wastage. The first computer driven Mechtronic profiler was the MTI-2825, this was a plasma profiler with a fairly simple three axis control system. ince then the company has produced a number of profilers utilising plasma,water and laser as the cutting mediums. The sophistication of the electronic and software control system has steadily improved. This makes for easier operation and greater accuracy. In recent years the company has focused on its competence in building laser profilers. Its unique motion control system drives commercially available laser cutters with speed and accuracy not matched by any other machines currently available. More than this they are easier to programme and operate, and they use half the level of energy and consumables of comparitive machines. In 1999 Mechtronic won a prestigious government Smart award in order to develop further its flying optics system.
