Gantry Laser Cutting Machine

When choosing a Gantry Laser Cutting Machine, many technical aspects must be taken into account to maximize its performance and achieve extremely high levels of productivity. Here are the most important characteristics to consider when choosing the machine best suited for your requirements:

■ Laser System Configuration. This refers to the laser source type and power rating. For example, the high-power models offer 12-30KW options with MAX/Raycus/IPG sources, while compact models start from 1000W. Match the laser power to your typical material thickness – higher power handles thicker materials and enables faster cutting speeds.

■ Working Area Dimensions. Haitong offers multiple cutting area options ranging from 12000x2500mm to 14000x3500mm. The HT-G14035 provides expansive 14000x3500mm processing capability, while the standard models offer 12000x2500mm. Consider your typical workpiece sizes and production requirements.

■ Control System Options. Different models feature specialized control systems including CypCut, HypCut, and WISCUT. The 6-axis models utilize WISCUT for complex H-beam processing, while plate cutting machines typically use CypCut/HypCut. The choice should align with operator familiarity and application complexity.

■ Cutting Capabilities. Consider material types and thicknesses you’ll process. High-power models cut carbon steel up to 60mm and aluminum up to 50mm, while standard models handle 40mm carbon steel. Match these specifications to your material processing needs.

■ Precision Requirements. Different configurations offer varying accuracy levels. High-end models achieve ±0.03mm/m positioning accuracy with premium HIWIN guides and Yaskawa servos, while standard models maintain ±0.05mm precision. Match these specifications to your tolerance requirements.

■ Laser Head Options. Available brands include Raytools, BOCI, Precitec, and OSPRI with various focal lengths and auto-focus capabilities. The laser head choice affects cut quality and maintenance intervals – ceramic components last 4000 hours while nozzles require replacement after 600 hours.

■ Additional Features. Evaluate supplementary capabilities like:

• Automatic loading/unloading systems
• Water cooling efficiency
• Automatic lubrication systems
• Remote control capabilities
• File format compatibility (AI, PLT, DXF, etc.)

■ Machine Construction. Consider the machine’s structural design based on your applications. Cast aluminum alloy beams provide high rigidity with lightweight benefits, while welded beds offer 20+ years of service life. The design choice impacts both performance and longevity.

These factors should guide your selection process, but remember that each manufacturing requirement is unique and may benefit from customized solutions. Haitong’s technical team can assist in determining the optimal configuration for your specific needs.
