About the Merlin CNC Router

Meet the All new Merlin CNC Router. Built from the ground up and fully designed here in the UK. With an extensive feature set not normally seen on a CNC machine in this price range.

With a rigid stress tested body, reliable set of components and first class service from Mantech Machinery Ltd, this CNC machine is on the top of many a workshops list. All of our Merlin CNC routers come with full installation and training, carried out by our own in-house team of friendly, knowledgeable CNC engineers.

Each Merlin comes with our own in-house developed M-Tech Motion Control System, full customisation and an extensive feature set that has unrivalled granular control over your CNC router.

Our Merlin can be upgraded from manual tool change to auto tool change!

Leaders in the industry, our Merlin CNC router has also been designed with a clear upgrade path to Auto Tool Change. No longer do you have to buy a separate machine if you wanted to upgrade in the future. With our unique upgrade system you can save money, purchase the Merlin and only pay to upgrade your current machine. Mantech constantly strive to offer our customers the very best experience when it comes to our range of affordable, feature rich machinery.

What Can the M-Tech CNC Motion Control System do?

Touch Screen

Control your CNC router via touch operation (including traditional methods such as mouse and keyboard).

Windows PC

Familiar operating environment – easy to use, not many people/operators don’t know how to use MS Windows.

Network Capable

Connect the machine to your network – easy transfer files from your design department to the CNC.

Third Party Software

As this is a windows based machine, run other software such as V-carve or Alphacam, directly at the machine.

Touch Based Vacuum

Control your vacuum zones via touch – vacuum can also be automatically operated when the machine starts and stops (energy saving and convenient)

Wireless Pendant

Control your machine with your wireless pendant for ultimate granular controls. Including custom macro functions assigned to your pendant.

Material Location Stops Control

Automatic operation of location stops, enabling you to accurately ‘locate’ your work material onto the vacuum bed for location in the same place, every time.

Work-piece Simulation Mode

Get a 3D view of your project and simulate processing just before cutting. Saving on waste materials by checking for errors before you commence.

Project Duration

Easily see how long the cutting process will take with accurate time measurements.

Advanced Algorithms

The system constantly reads g-code multiple steps ahead of the actual movement, analysing and adjusting pre the event. Extremely efficient operation.

Enhanced Spindle Control

As our motion control system uses an analogue rather than digital signal, you can get granular control over your spindle speed, right down to 1 rpm increments.

Enhanced Tool Change Control (ATC Models Only)

Direct control over tool changes including speed, distance and clearance.

Accurate tool measurement (ATC Models Only)

Extremely accurate tool length measurement, taking tool wear into consideration.

G-Code Edit

Enables the user to make alterations to the g-code. Including a jump to line function.

Built-in support for up-to 6 axis

M-tech allows for support for up-to 6 axis, included within the software. Allowing for upgrades such as a rotary axis tool or aggregate head function.

Cannot recommend these guys enough! Got me out of a real jam, friendly and willing to work with partners big and small. They were helpful throughout the process and delivered me a quick, clean and cost affective solution! Thanks

We have just purchased our first CO2 laser from Mantech. This was new territory for us and Adrian supplied very prompt, helpful answers to all my questions along the way. I am very happy with the machine they supplied. Although I have not yet required further assistance since the installation and training I have every confidence that any queries that may arise will be dealt with in a professional manner.

Had my Desktop laser installed today, delivery and installation were seamless and the training I received was comprehensive but easy to follow thanks to the very capable installer/trainer they sent. I can highly recommend Mantech for their service to date. Very Happy.

Why would you consider anywhere else? Fantastic customer service even replying to my questions all times of the day. Engineer came and installed the laser and everything else. Shown me how to use it and your off straight away. Highly recommended and I'll be going back when I need an upgrade.

Absolutely brilliant company. We went to visit site to see a machine being demonstrated before we purchased. Everyone was so helpful. We decided to place an order for a bigger machine than we originally thought about and so glad we did. The service received has been second to none, from the admin team whe kept us up to date with the order (which arrived absolutely on time) to the installers, who came the next day. Last but absolutely not least is Lee, whose patience and help has been incredible, even speaking to us on a weekend and arranging a new part for next day delivery, when we had a problem. I have him in my phone as Laser Lee. He knows who he is. Thank you again to all at Mantech Machinery. Highly recommended to everyone. Carol & Gordon White

Jack Devonport

Great service from start to finish, professional and helpful service and they were very flexible with installation dates. The machine feels high quality and was set up on site for me. it is much quieter than my previous laser and the filtered extraction works perfectly

Peter Hopwood

If you need proper old fashioned service look no further, Mantech have been so helpful from initial contact right through to completing the job. I have a laser machine that needed a new replacement tube & the mirrors re-aligning, the engineer was a real credit to Mantech, the work was carried out to a very high standard, I can honestly say my laser has never cut so well as it does now. The replacement tube was also supplied at a very competitive price, if I could give more stars I would

Having been a complete novice at CNC routing I have been most impressed by the professional approach at Mantech machinery. An Initial demonstration demonstrated what machine was capable of and after installation the training was superb. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for your CNC requirements.

From the initial enquiry, through to delivery and installation, the staff at Mantech were knowledgeable and helpful, ensuring we got the correct CO2 laser for our needs at an excellent price. Highly recommended!

After deciding to purchase a new cnc machine, I considered many different makes and then found Mantech through a google search. I hadn't heard of the company before but their website looked very impressive and the help I had from my enquiries was prompt and very helpful. Although the machine came with some great software, I wanted to use a cad software I had been using for 16 years previously, but had trouble getting it working with my Spartan due to the software post processor not being right. During this few weeks of going back and forward with the US software designers, I reached out to Mantech and dealt with a few of the team who offered some great help and ultimately helped me get the different software working as it should. The cnc is all up and running now and I couldn't be happier. Very pleased I went with Mantech and definitely recommend them and the Spartan 6090 that I purchased is great and perfect for my needs. Cheers guys..
