ZXL Fiber Laser Cutting Machine 8-20kW (Plate, Pipe, H-Beam) | Zhouxiang, Wuxi, China

ZXL Series Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

Zhouxiang: Wuxi, Jiangsu, China

Gantry fiber laser cutters in 8 to 20kW with IPG or Raycus sources, working areas up to 2,500 × 12,000mm, and speeds up to 85m/min, offered as plate, pipe and plate, high-power, and H-beam versions.

The ZXL series is Zhouxiang's range of fiber laser metal cutting machines. They use a gantry design with a double-drive rack and pinion transmission, an IPG (Germany) or Raycus (China) fiber laser source, and a CNC control system. Zhouxiang says they cut stainless steel, mild steel, carbon steel, aluminium, brass, and copper, using oxygen or nitrogen assist gas.

The standard machine offers laser powers from 8,000W to 20,000W, working areas up to 2,500 × 12,000mm, a maximum workpiece height of 120mm, and a top speed of 85m/min with 1.5G acceleration. The main machine draws 15kW and has IP54 protection.

Zhouxiang sells the series in four versions: a large platform machine, a high-power machine, a pipe and plate machine, and an H-beam machine that also bevels, engraves, and marks.

The Four Versions

• Large platform fiber laser cutter: gantry design with ball screw, rack and pinion, and linear guide drives. X stroke 9,050 to 15,050mm, Y stroke 3,050mm, Z stroke 100mm. Listed at $35,000 to $220,000.
• High-power fiber laser cutter: IPG or Raycus source for cutting carbon steel, silicon steel, stainless steel, galvanised sheet, and pickled plate. Listed at $35,000 to $220,000.
• Fiber laser pipe and plate cutter: IPG source from 1,000W to 15,000W. X stroke 1,500, 2,000, or 2,500mm; Y stroke 6,050 or 8,050mm; Z stroke 250mm. Listed at $36,000 to $200,000.
• H-beam laser cutter: cuts, engraves, bevels, and marks H-beams and plate, accepts Tekla 3D model data, and has a BOCHU cutting head with real-time monitoring and auto-focus. Effective cutting range 3,500 × 24,000mm, 20kW laser. Listed at $140,000 to $210,000.

(Prices are the supplier's published ranges, and may not include every option.)

Why Choose a Fiber Laser Cutter?

Fiber lasers cut faster and use less energy than older CO₂ lasers, and they cut reflective metals such as aluminium, brass, and copper more readily. Higher power allows thicker material and faster cutting of thin sheet.

• Wide power range. 8 to 20kW options in the standard series, so you can match power to your thickest material.
• Large formats. Working areas from 1,500 × 3,000mm up to 2,500 × 12,000mm, and much larger platforms in the special versions.
• Fast motion. Up to 85m/min with 1.5G acceleration.
• Choice of laser source. IPG or Raycus.
• Structural steel option. The H-beam version cuts, bevels, and marks profiles, with direct Tekla data input.
