What This Machine Does
This CNC fiber laser cutting machine is built on a heavy cast-iron bed inside a gantry main frame welded from steel plate, and the whole point of that mass is that the cutting head has something that does not move underneath it. The bed is annealed at high temperature in a large annealing furnace to take out welding stress, then machined in one operation on an imported gantry mill so the guideway surfaces are cut in a single setup rather than pieced together. The Y-axis beam runs on a gantry rack with double guide rails and double servo drive, which raises the stiffness of the beam and keeps it accurate and stable at high traverse speed. That smooth high-speed running also reduces assist gas consumption, which is a real operating cost on a laser. Positioning tolerance is plus or minus 0.02mm. Cutting table sizes are 3000x1500mm, 4000x1500mm, 6000x1500mm, 4000x2000mm and 6000x2000mm.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Cast-iron bed damps vibration so the cut edge does not carry machine movement into the part
- High temperature annealing in a large furnace removes welding stress before machining
- Bed machined in one operation on an imported gantry mill so guideways share one reference
- Double guide rail and double servo drive on the Y-axis raise beam stiffness and accuracy
- Smooth high-speed beam movement greatly reduces assist gas consumption
- Positioning tolerance of plus or minus 0.02mm
- Five table sizes from 3000x1500mm to 6000x2000mm to suit your sheet size
Where CNC Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Metal and St Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Light welded beds vibrate and the vibration shows in the cut edge
- Beds machined in separate setups never line the guideways up properly
- Unrelieved welded frames distort after installation and take accuracy with them
- Single-side drive twists a long beam and the cut goes out at the far side
- Assist gas consumption is a recurring cost when the beam runs roughly at speed
- Profile cutting by saw and grinder cannot produce complex outlines economically
Who It Is For
- Sheet metal fabrication shops moving to laser cutting
- Stainless steel fabricators cutting panels and profiles
- Job shops offering cut-to-drawing services
- Distributors supplying fiber laser cutting machines
Application Scenarios
- Cutting stainless steel sheet for kitchen catering and architectural work
- Production cutting of carbon steel parts for fabrication and machinery
- Sheet nesting and batch cutting of profile parts
- Cutting large format sheet on the 6000x2000mm table
- Job shops cutting mixed metal parts to customer drawings

How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Plasma cutting | Plasma is cheaper to buy and handles thick plate, but the kerf is wider and the edge needs more dressing than a fiber laser cut |
|---|---|
| Punching and nibbling on a turret press | A turret press is fast on repeated standard holes but needs tooling for every shape; the laser cuts any outline from the same program file |
| Lighter welded bed laser machines | A light bed lets machine vibration into the cut edge; the annealed cast-iron bed and gantry milled guideways hold accuracy at speed |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Confirm the sheet size and material against the table size and laser power
Step 2
Load and nest the cutting program to use the sheet efficiently
Step 3
Set the assist gas and nozzle for the material and thickness
Step 4
Set the focus and check the cut on a test piece at the edge of the sheet
Step 5
Run the program and check the first parts for size and edge quality
Step 6
Keep the lens and nozzle clean because a dirty optic costs cut quality first
Step 7
Maintain the guideways racks and extraction to the maintenance schedule

Questions About CNC Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Metal an
What table sizes are available?
3000x1500mm, 4000x1500mm, 6000x1500mm, 4000x2000mm and 6000x2000mm. Choose by the sheet size you buy so you are not trimming stock to fit the table.
What thickness can it cut?
Cutting ability depends on the laser power selected and on the material. Send us the materials and thicknesses you cut and we will recommend the power and confirm the cutting figures.
What accuracy does the machine hold?
Tolerance is plus or minus 0.02mm. The cast-iron bed, single-operation gantry milled guideways and double servo Y-axis drive are what hold that in service.
Why does the bed construction matter?
Vibration and frame movement show directly in the cut edge. The bed is cast iron, annealed at high temperature to remove welding stress and machined in one gantry milling operation so the guideways share a single reference.
Can it cut stainless steel?
Yes, it is used on stainless steel as well as other metal sheet. Assist gas and power selection depend on the grade and thickness.
What supply voltage is the machine built for?
Tell us your voltage, phases and frequency with the order and the machine will be built and tested to that supply.
What are your trade and payment terms?
FOB CFR and CIF. Payment is 30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
