Technical FAQ – 2 kW · 6×20 ft enclosed fiber laser
When does a 2 kW 6×20 platform make more sense than a higher-power system?
A 2 kW 6×20 system is most compelling when you:
- Cut primarily thin to mid-gauge materials and light plate
- Value large-format nesting and part length more than extreme thickness capability
- Want to control operating cost (power, gas, consumables) while still gaining long-format flexibility
- Run moderate utilization or mixed workloads where ultra high power would be underused
If your workload includes frequent heavy plate or very high utilization, a higher-power configuration may
provide better throughput and ROI.
What thickness range can a 2 kW 6×20 realistically handle?
2 kW fiber is well suited for typical sheet and light plate ranges in carbon steel,
stainless, and aluminum. Exact values depend on:
- Material grade and quality (mild vs high-strength steels, stainless types, aluminum series)
- Assist gas choice (N2, O2, air) and available pressure/flow
- Edge-quality and cosmetic requirements vs desired cutting speed
We recommend using sample parts and materials to validate your key thicknesses and adjust expectations
for speed vs edge finish during the application review.
How does 2 kW power affect operating costs compared to higher-power lasers?
In many thin to mid-gauge applications, 2 kW systems can offer favorable operating cost profiles:
- Lower electrical consumption than high-power alternatives
- Assist gas consumption aligned with moderate cut speeds
- Simpler infrastructure for power and gas supply in some facilities
If you are not consistently using the additional thickness capability and speed of higher-power lasers,
a 2 kW 6×20 can be the more economical choice over the lifetime of the machine.
Does the 6×20 length cause accuracy issues at the far end of the bed?
The motion system is designed to maintain accuracy and repeatability over the full 6×20 envelope using
servo drives and precision linear guidance. In practice, long-format accuracy depends on:
- Proper installation, leveling, and alignment of the machine base
- Regular calibration and maintenance routines
- Parameter tuning for long toolpaths and part locations across the sheet
During commissioning, we verify performance across multiple positions on the table using test patterns
and representative parts.
