Fiber Laser Cutting Head Model Examples: RayTools, BOCI, Precitec, WSX, Ospri and OEM Heads

Need to identify a fiber laser cutting head or compare replacement options? Many shops know the laser source brand but do not know the exact cutting head model. That matters because parts, lenses, nozzles, cables, sensors, focus motors, cooling connections and controller compatibility can vary by head model.

This guide gives practical examples of cutting head brands and model families commonly seen on fiber laser cutting machines. Model names vary by supplier and generation, so always verify the nameplate, photos, power rating and machine compatibility before ordering parts or replacement heads.

Common Cutting Head Model Examples

The examples below are useful starting points for identification. They are not a compatibility guarantee.

RayTools Cutting Head Examples

  • RayTools BM109: commonly referenced on lower and mid-power fiber laser machines.
  • RayTools BM111: commonly referenced for higher-power and auto-focus applications depending on configuration.
  • RayTools BM114 / BM115 / BM116 style heads: seen on different power classes and machine-builder packages.
  • RayTools BT / BS style heads: model family names that may appear on some machines and parts listings.

RayTools is common on imported and mid-range fiber laser machines. It can be practical when parts and consumables are available and the model matches the source power.

BOCI Cutting Head Examples

  • BOCI BLT series: commonly seen on industrial fiber laser cutting machines.
  • BOCI BLT3 / BLT4 / BLT5 style families: often discussed for different power ranges and machine configurations.
  • BOCI auto-focus heads: used where stable production cutting, piercing and higher-power capability are important.

BOCI heads are often considered when shops want stronger production capability or are working with higher-power fiber laser systems. Exact model and wattage rating must be verified.

Precitec Cutting Head Examples

  • Precitec LightCutter: commonly associated with compact and efficient cutting applications.
  • Precitec ProCutter: commonly associated with industrial cutting systems and demanding production environments.
  • Precitec ProCutter Zoom / related variants: used in certain higher-end configurations depending on machine builder and application.

Precitec heads are often used where process stability, sensing quality, precision and industrial uptime are high priorities. They are usually not the cheapest option, but can make sense in production environments.

WSX Cutting Head Examples

  • WSX NC style heads: common on many imported fiber laser machines.
  • WSX KC style heads: seen in various cutting system packages and parts listings.
  • WSX auto-focus and manual-focus heads: exact model depends on source power and machine setup.

WSX can be a practical lower-cost or mid-range option when the machine application is not too demanding and parts are available.

Ospri Cutting Head Examples

  • Ospri LC style heads: common reference family for laser cutting applications.
  • Ospri cutting and welding head packages: used on different fiber laser systems depending on application.

Ospri heads may be practical depending on machine design, wattage, controller interface and parts support.

OEM / Private-Label Cutting Heads

Some fiber laser machines use heads that are rebadged, modified or private-labeled by the machine builder. These heads may look similar to RayTools, WSX, BOCI or other brands but use different parts, cables, cartridges, sensors or fittings.

Do not order parts by appearance alone. Send photos before buying.

Example: Why the Same 6kW Machine Can Cut Differently

Two 6kW fiber laser machines can perform differently if one uses a better-matched cutting head, stronger height control, cleaner optics, correct chiller capacity and proper gas setup. Wattage alone does not guarantee cut quality.

A good cutting head setup helps with:

  • stable piercing
  • cleaner edges
  • less dross
  • better focus control
  • longer protective lens life
  • lower crash risk
  • fewer false source-failure symptoms

Example: When RayTools May Be Enough

RayTools may be a good practical choice when the shop needs affordable parts, common consumables, reasonable performance and the machine is not being pushed beyond the head’s rating. It is often a good fit for many budget-conscious and mid-range machines when configured correctly.

Example: When BOCI or Precitec May Make More Sense

BOCI or Precitec may make more sense when uptime, production consistency, higher-power cutting, better sensing, stronger cooling or industrial reliability are more important than the lowest head price.

For a shop cutting every day, the cheaper head is not always the cheaper business decision if it burns lenses, crashes often, loses focus or creates downtime.

What to Verify Before Buying a Replacement Head

  • Exact head brand and model from the nameplate
  • Laser source wattage and future upgrade plan
  • QBH / fiber interface type
  • Controller and height-control compatibility
  • Mounting pattern and Z-axis clearance
  • Cooling connections and chiller capacity
  • Nozzle, protective lens and cartridge availability
  • Cable, sensor and focus motor compatibility
  • Assist gas pressure and fitting requirements

What Photos to Send for Identification

  • Full cutting head photo from the front and side
  • Nameplate or label photo
  • Nozzle and sensor area
  • Lens cartridge or protective window holder
  • QBH connector area
  • Cable and water/gas connection area
  • Any crash damage, lens burns or alarm screenshots
