Mitsubishi Laser and Ncell Announce Exclusive Automation Partnership


November 27, 2006

Wood Dale, IL - Mitsubishi Laser is pleased to announce its exclusive partnership with Ncell Automation, the top provider of automation integration software for precision fabrication. Ncell enables true lights-out, unattended operations on Mitsubishi's Flexible Manufacturing Systems.

By automating high-production environments, fabricators reduce operation costs, boost their levels of efficiency, productivity and profitability. Ncell has developed several productivity-boosting products, available exclusively on Mitsubishi's Flexible Manufacturing Systems. Among these exclusive products:

iRemote: This management interface remotely manages all laser cells from a desktop computer, automatically updating schedules and eliminating manual entry. By automatically managing schedules and providing control over the laser FMS, users maximize machine tool utilization and minimize errors.

iAlert: This software minimizes downtime by instantly alerting shop personnel when an error occurs at each laser cell. This eliminates the risk of unplanned down-time, and allows personnel to take proactive measures.

MC3 Cell Controller: This management interface allows users network access to control the scheduling of manufacturing cells. Its touch-screen interface allows users to easily add or change production requirements, to view machine tool conditions and perform complex processes easily, and maximize the capabilities of each laser.

Ncell President Brian Dockter comments on the partnership: "Mitsubishi Laser is the leading automated systems company in North America. The software we have developed with Mitsubishi provides tremendous productivity gains with more versatility, flexibility, and ultimately more profitability. We are very excited to offer these products."
