The Umprotech 12 kW, 4×4 ft enclosed fiber laser is positioned as a flagship small-format cutting cell for shops that want the advantages of high-power fiber cutting without committing the floor space or capital of a large 4×8 or 5×10 platform.
With 12 kW of fiber power concentrated over a 4×4 ft working area, this cell offers a unique blend of high power and small-format agility. It is particularly effective when shops need:
Typical application focus*
*Exact thickness and performance windows depend on material grade, assist gas, and edge-quality requirements.
Throughput characteristics
Effective as a dedicated cell for high-value or high-mix small parts where laser time is a bottleneck.
Quality & consistency*
*Final tolerances and finish expectations should be confirmed using sample cuts on your materials.
The Umprotech 12 kW 4×4 enclosed fiber laser is delivered as a complete cutting cell. Laser, motion platform, auto-focus head, control stack, full enclosure, extraction, and chiller are supplied as an integrated package to minimize onsite integration work.
Laser power: 12 kW fiber (Raycus or IPG options)
A 12 kW source provides:
Raycus and IPG are established industrial laser suppliers, offering stable power delivery and proven industrial performance.
Bed size / stroke: 4×4 ft (48×48") nominal working area
The compact table is optimized for:
The small footprint allows placement in areas where a full 4×8 or 5×10 machine is not practical.
Control: FSCUT industrial motion and laser control
Software: CypCut CAM / nesting
The FSCUT + CypCut stack delivers:
This control stack is widely used in industrial laser applications, making it easier to hire or train operators familiar with the interface.
Cutting head: Auto-focus fiber cutting head with capacitive height sensing
The auto-focus system:
Parameter presets link focus height, assist gas, and cutting speed to material and thickness combinations, supporting repeatable results across shifts and operators.
Enclosure: Full-cover, Class 1 light-tight housing with interlocks
The enclosure provides:
This design simplifies compliance with typical US laser safety expectations and allows placement in busier production areas alongside other equipment.
Included: industrial chiller + integrated fume extraction
The chiller maintains stable cooling for:
The fume extraction system captures process smoke near the cutting zone and routes it to your exhaust or filtration infrastructure, supporting cleaner shop air and helping to protect optics and mechanics.
Assist gases: Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), and dry air (configuration dependent)
Typical usage includes:
We can recommend gas storage, regulation, and distribution concepts based on your duty cycle and material mix.
Motion: servo-driven gantry with precision linear guidance
The motion platform is tuned for:
Mechanical stiffness and servo control support continuous operation in production environments.
Detailed electrical and footprint drawings are provided during the specification phase. In general, the machine is designed to fit into:
Pre-install planning covers access paths, clearances, and anchoring needs to minimize surprises at installation.
Actual cutting capacity, throughput, and tolerances depend on material grade, assist gas, nesting strategy, process parameters, and edge-quality requirements. We recommend validating critical jobs and tolerances through sample parts and agreed parameter sets before full production release.
The 12 kW, 4×4 ft Umprotech enclosed fiber laser is often specified as a compact high-power cell for small and mid-sized parts, or as a dedicated machine for a specific product family. It can function as:
High repeatability for brackets, gussets, flanges, and connection plates used in machinery, equipment, and structural assemblies—where hole patterns and fit-up must be consistent over long product runs.
Flat patterns for small cabinets, junction boxes, covers, and machine panels. Accurate features support efficient forming and reliable assembly in downstream processes.
Guards, covers, screens, and safety shields where consistent hole geometry, smooth edges, and repeatable fit-up are critical for both safety and ergonomics.
Logos, lettering, and decorative geometry in steel, stainless, and aluminum, with edges suitable for brushing, powder coating, or architectural finishes.
Small panels, brackets, supports, and mounting hardware for HVAC and building systems, where dimensional consistency reduces installation time and field rework.
Rapid-turn prototypes and engineering changes in stainless, carbon steel, and aluminum. Engineering teams can iterate on geometry and fit-up without waiting on large-format machines or external suppliers.
Dedicated to recurring part families for OEMs or contract manufacturing work, with programs, nests, and parameter sets stored in the control for quick recall and consistent performance.
Ideal for specialty or high-value parts where a compact high-power cell delivers fast turnaround, while larger full-sheet machines are used for bulk flat-sheet production.
In many facilities, the 12 kW 4×4 laser becomes the “high-power flex cell”—absorbing rush jobs, specialty parts, and engineering changes, while larger machines focus on full-sheet, long-run production.
We understand the practical realities of integrating high-power laser systems into US job shops, OEM lines, and R&D environments. Our focus is on uptime, safety, and predictable quality rather than just nameplate power.
Next step: send us representative part files (DXF/STEP/PDF) and your material specifications. We’ll confirm fit, estimate cycle times, and recommend a 12 kW 4×4 configuration and assist-gas strategy aligned with your workflows and production goals.
A 4×4 ft table with 12 kW power is ideal when you:
You gain the cutting performance of a high-power source while keeping footprint, rigging, and integration requirements closer to those of a small-format machine.
12 kW provides ample headroom for thin and mid-gauge materials and extends well into thicker sections. However, practical limits depend on:
We recommend validating your key material and thickness combinations with sample cuts and agreed parameter windows before committing final tolerances.
For small parts, 12 kW can significantly reduce cycle times through:
Whether this is justified versus 3–6 kW depends on your mix of thicknesses, volume per part number, and bottlenecks in your current workflow. We can model cycle times using your nesting examples to help decide.
For flat-sheet laser work, CypCut is usually the main programming and nesting environment. It handles:
Many shops use higher-level systems for quoting or ERP integration, but day-to-day cutting programs are typically built and refined in CypCut on the FSCUT controller.
Training focuses on safe operation first, then on efficient use of the control:
For operators with CNC or CAD/CAM experience, the learning curve is manageable. Parameter libraries and graphical nesting views help standardize performance between shifts.
Prior to shipment, you receive a detailed pre-installation checklist. In general, you should plan for:
Reviewing and closing these items early helps ensure installation and commissioning focus on bringing your parts into production, not last-minute infrastructure changes.
Routine maintenance primarily involves optics, gas systems, and mechanical inspections. Typical tasks include:
We provide maintenance schedules and checklists, and training includes how to carry out these tasks safely for a high-power system.
A fully enclosed Class 1 design simplifies many aspects of laser safety:
This often makes it easier to locate the cell near other equipment, as the primary hazards are localized to the enclosed machine and its loading/unloading zones.
Yes. Typical integration patterns include:
We can help you define folder structures, naming conventions, and job-release steps to align engineering, planning, and the laser cell.
The best way is to look at real jobs. We typically:
From there, we can compare this configuration to alternative power levels or table sizes and recommend a setup that aligns with your bottlenecks, space constraints, and growth plans.
