Machine travel is not the same as usable part size. Confirm the cutting envelope with the part, fixture, table and cutting-head clearance.
02 / Machine capabilities
A large-format platform
for complex 3D work.
Travel, motion, workholding and protection should be specified together around the real production task.
High-rigidity gantry
The gantry machine-tool structure supports stable coordinated motion across the large working range and provides a foundation for part-specific fixturing.
Large-format cutting range
Three model sizes cover X travel from 4,000 to 4,500 mm and Y travel from 2,100 to 2,500 mm, with 680 mm Z travel.
Five-axis cutting head
A-axis travel of ±135°, continuous C-axis rotation and ±9 mm floating-axis travel support multi-angle cutting around complex contours.
Flexible worktable layout
Select a fixed or moving slide worktable around part size, fixture access, loading method and the intended production sequence.
Protection and extraction options
The brochure presents a fully enclosed housing, dust extraction and moving slide table as configurable options rather than a universal standard scope.
03 / Typical applications
One platform.
Multiple industries.
Applications shown in the product catalog and reference product page. Final suitability depends on material, thickness, geometry, access and quality requirements.
Automotive trial production
Prototype and trial-part cutting where flexible fixtures and repeatable five-axis access are required.
Mold manufacturing
Complex contour and formed-surface work for mold development, verification and related production tasks.
Automotive hot forming
Edge trimming and hole cutting for hot-stamped components after forming.
Hardware & formed parts
Multi-angle cutting for hardware, profiles, side panels and other three-dimensional metal components.

04 / Machine configuration
Configure the cell
around production.
The product catalog presents these layouts as options. Final supply scope must be written into the quotation and technical agreement.
Fully enclosed housing
A protective enclosure can be configured around the machine. Confirm the applicable safety standard, observation window, interlocks and final layout.
Dust extraction system
Match extraction capacity and ducting to material, cutting process, enclosure volume and local environmental requirements.
Moving slide table
A moving slide table can support offline loading and unloading. Confirm table travel, fixtures, guarding and the complete cycle before ordering.

Validate finished-part quality on your actual component.¹ Accuracy labels and values follow the catalog. They are machine-axis figures, not a guarantee of finished-part tolerances. Results depend on part variation, fixture accuracy, programming and cutting conditions. The catalog also lists approximate footprint and weight values without units; those fields are intentionally omitted here until confirmed.
06 / Project evaluation
Start with the workpiece.
Define the complete cell.
A practical evaluation sequence helps turn a machine specification into a clear production scope.
Part & process review
Provide a drawing or 3D model, material grade, thickness, target tolerances and expected output.
Envelope & table review
Check the complete part-and-fixture envelope, loading direction, worktable layout and cutting-head clearance.
Protection & utility review
Define enclosure, extraction, assist gas, electrical supply, software and integration requirements.
Sample & project definition
Validate the process on a representative part, then agree on equipment scope and acceptance criteria.
07 / Common questions
Before you specify
your DF Series.
The right configuration starts with the working envelope, loading process and safety requirements.
How do I choose among 4021, 4025 and 4525?
Start with the full part-and-fixture envelope. The 4021 lists 4,000 × 2,100 mm X/Y travel, the 4025 lists 4,000 × 2,500 mm, and the 4525 lists 4,500 × 2,500 mm. All three list 680 mm Z travel. Confirm cutting-head access and fixture clearance before choosing.
Which laser power should I select?
The catalog lists 3,000 W, 4,000 W and 6,000 W options. The appropriate power depends on material grade, thickness, geometry, assist gas and production targets. A sample cutting evaluation provides a stronger basis than power alone.
Does ±0.05 mm mean every finished part meets that tolerance?
No. The catalog lists ±0.05 mm as an X/Y/Z-axis machining accuracy figure. Finished-part results also depend on forming variation, datum selection, fixturing, programming and the cutting process. Agree on a part-level acceptance method for your project.
Should I choose a fixed or moving slide table?
A fixed table can suit straightforward loading and lower-complexity layouts. A moving slide table can support loading and unloading away from the cutting position. The correct choice depends on part size, fixtures, guarding, handling and the complete production cycle.
Are the enclosure and dust extraction system standard?
Not necessarily. The product catalog presents the fully enclosed housing, dust extraction and moving slide table as configuration options. Confirm every included option, interface and safety function in the quotation and technical agreement.
What should I send for a project review?
Provide a 3D model or drawing, material grade and thickness, part dimensions, required holes and contours, quality targets, output per shift and loading preferences. Include fixture or datum information if already available. You can first describe the project through the form below.
