With many outstanding advantages, metal laser cutting machine occupies an important position in the field of modern processing. In order to meet production needs, more and more companies choose to use laser metal cutting machines for production and processing. When buying a laser cutting machine for the first time, many customers will have questions: How much does a laser metal cutting machine cost? Let this article guide you to the information you’re seeking.

Types and Price Ranges of Laser Metal Cutting Machine

1. Different types of introduction

Laser metal cutting machine is the mainstream choice, with high efficiency and low maintenance cost. The price is usually higher than that of CO2 laser cutting machine, but it has long life and stable performance. The former is suitable for metal cutting, while the latter is often used for cutting non-metallic materials.

2. Price description

The quotations for metal laser cutting machines are actually very different. Choose different laser equipment to apply to different production processes and different sophisticated process requirements, and the performance of the fiber laser cutting machine you need to purchase is different. The configurations of the laser cutting machine brand, laser, laser power, motor, laser head, etc. not only determine the price, but also determine the service life. Therefore, when we buy a laser metal cutting machine, we should pay attention to this information.

As a new product that meets the market trend, the laser metal cutting machine is popular among users for its precision and high cutting speed. Nowadays, there are good and bad laser cutting machines on the market, and the prices are also different: some are tens of thousands, some are hundreds of thousands, and there are also millions.

Low-power fiber laser cutting machines are usually less than 3000W and are designed for small businesses. They range in price from $8000 to $15000. Mid-range industrial laser cutting machines are suitable for small and medium-sized metal processing plants, can handle a variety of metal materials and thicknesses, and have a price range of about $9000-17000.

High-power industrial laser machines can cut thick metal plates at high speeds and are widely used in large-scale manufacturing. Prices are generally between $15000-18000. A 6000W 3015 fiber laser cutting machine costs about $17000. Metal laser cutting machines with a power of more than 6000W are very expensive, usually costing more than $27000, and some high-end models with advanced configurations can even cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

When we choose, we must understand what we buy the laser cutting machine for, what materials to cut, and the thickness and size of the cutting materials. The more functions the laser cutting machine has, the higher the price. You can choose according to your needs. With a professional team and excellent after-sales service, WINTEK is committed to providing solutions that meet your requirements.

Cost Influencers of Laser Metal Cutters

1. Laser Power

Power range: 1000W to 30000W or even higher. The higher the power, the more expensive the machine. Higher-power machines can cut thicker materials and achieve faster cutting speeds.

• Low power laser metal cutting machine

Power range: 1000W – 3000W
Applicable materials: Suitable for cutting thin metal sheets (such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, copper), the thickness is generally less than 12mm.
Application scenarios: advertising production, metal decoration. Small metal processing enterprises or personalized customization.
Features: Low investment cost. High cutting accuracy, smooth edge finishes, and minimal thermal impact on materials.

• Medium power laser metal cutting machine

Power range: 6000W – 12000W
Applicable materials: Suitable for cutting medium and thick plates, such as carbon steel (thickness 6-16mm), stainless steel (6-12mm), aluminum plate (8-10mm).
Application scenarios: Small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, widely used in mechanical processing, automotive parts, kitchenware manufacturing and other fields.
Features: Fast cutting speed, suitable for medium production capacity needs. Wide range of applications, can handle more types and thicknesses of materials. Moderate cost, is a cost-effective choice.

• High power laser metal cutting machine

Power range: 12000W – 30000W (or higher)
Applicable materials: Suitable for processing thick metal plates, such as carbon steel (thickness above 16mm), stainless steel (12mm above), aluminum plates (8mm above).
Application scenarios: Large manufacturing companies, widely used in shipbuilding, aerospace, heavy industrial equipment manufacturing and other fields.
Features: High cutting efficiency, support high-speed mass production. Can process highly reflective materials (such as copper, aluminum). High initial investment, suitable for companies with extremely high requirements for production capacity and precision.

When choosing the power of metal laser cutting machines, you should consider factors such as actual processing requirements, material type, thickness, and budget. Low power is suitable for lightweight processing, medium power is suitable for multi-purpose processing, and high power focuses on efficient thick material processing and mass production.

2. Machine Brand

System : Cypcut / Raytools
Head : Boci / Raytools
Motors : Japan Yaskawa / Japan Fuji / China Delta / China Innovance
Reducer : Japan Shimpoo / China Kofon

Laser metal cutting machines from well-known brands are usually more expensive. High-quality components, advanced manufacturing technology, and stable performance are important factors supporting the high price.

3. Device Size

Standard cutting size : 3050*1530mm / 4050*2030mm / 6050*2030mm / 6050*2530mm / 6550*2530mm / 8050*2530mm
The larger the machine, the larger the metal sheets it can process and the higher the price.

4. Software System

Equipment equipped with advanced control systems and software (such as real-time monitoring or CAD/CAM software) costs more. Cypcut and Raytools system are more popular, they are easy to learn and operate. Cutting software and nesting software are friendly.

5. After-Sales Service

Perfect after-sales service includes equipment installation and commissioning, operator training, regular maintenance, and timely fault repair response, all of which require investment. These costs are also reflected in the equipment price. High-quality after-sales service can ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment, reduce downtime, improve production efficiency.

What to Know Before Buying a Laser Cutting Machine

Before buying a laser metal cutting machine, customers need to consider the following issues:

1. What materials are you mainly cutting?
2. What is the thickness and size of the materials being cut?
3. Is it a small batch process or a large-scale production?
4. What is the acceptable price of the equipment?
5. Which brand or model do you prefer?
6. What installation, training or maintenance services are required?

Conclusion

The price of laser cutting machines is the result of the interaction of many factors. When choosing a laser cutting machine, users should not only focus on the price, but should comprehensively consider their own production needs, equipment power, cutting format, brand quality and configuration, and choose the most suitable product to maximize economic benefits.
