High-power exchange-table cutting
High PowerFiber Laser Cutting Machine
A fully enclosed 3–20 kW fiber laser platform with dual automatic exchange tables for thick-plate cutting and continuous heavy-duty production.
Catalog model families
Configurable laser-power range
Cut while the next sheet is prepared
01 / Continuous heavy-duty production
Keep the laser cutting
while material moves offline.
The ZG-FC high-power platform combines a fully enclosed cutting area with two automatic exchange tables. One table remains inside for cutting while the other supports loading and unloading, reducing non-cutting time in batch production.
- 3–20 kW fiber laser configuration for thin-to-thick plate applications.
- Dual exchange tables for overlapping cutting and material handling.
- Enclosed protection with configurable extraction and automation options.

Nominal 8000 × 2500 mm format derived from model designation.
Model names indicate nominal sheet formats. Confirm actual working travel, table load, exchange time, loading clearance and foundation requirements for the selected configuration.
02 / Core capabilities
More cutting time.
Less table waiting.
The machine is designed around high-power plate processing, exchange-table flow and configurable production support systems.
3–20 kW power range
Configure the laser source around material, maximum thickness, piercing demand, edge quality and target throughput.
Dual exchange tables
Load and unload one table while cutting continues on the other to reduce idle time between sheets.
Thick-plate processing
High-power output supports demanding piercing and cutting tasks for heavy carbon steel and other metal plate.
Full protective enclosure
The enclosed cutting area supports safer operation and organized fume-control integration.
Heavy-duty structure
A rigid gantry and machine platform are intended for stable long-term batch processing under industrial load.
Automation-ready scope
Extraction, automatic loading, software and auxiliary systems can be configured in the technical agreement.
03 / Machine details
Enclosure, controls
and exchange-table flow.
Transparent detail crops come from the supplied catalog rendering; the delivered layout can vary by machine format and project configuration.
Integrated operator cabinet
The front station places machine controls outside the enclosed cutting area for production access.
Fully enclosed cutting housing
The long enclosed body separates the high-power cutting process from the surrounding work area.
Rear exchange-table section
The automatic table section supports alternating cutting, loading and unloading in batch production.

04 / Applications
Built for demanding
plate-production workloads.
The platform serves thick-plate and batch sheet processing. Final capability depends on grade, thickness, surface condition, assist gas and selected laser source.
Select from the production mix, not wattage alone. Provide grades, maximum and typical thicknesses, blank sizes, drawings, edge-quality requirements and expected output before confirming the machine.
05 / Model range
Four catalog formats.
One configurable high-power cell.
Choose the working format, laser power and material-flow options around plate thickness, sheet size and production target.

06 / Project evaluation
From plate schedule
to production-ready cell.
High power is only one decision. Table flow, piercing conditions, fume control and automation must be evaluated together.
Plate and piercing review
Provide grades, maximum and typical thicknesses, blank size, drawings and edge-quality requirements.
Format and throughput study
Match table size, exchange-table flow, laser power, assist gas and shift output.
Sample cutting and automation
Validate critical parts and define loading, unloading, extraction and nesting requirements.
Technical agreement
Freeze working travel, table capacity, components, utilities, software, training and acceptance scope.
07 / Common questions
Before you specify
the high-power cell.
Confirm the plate mix, table flow and automation scope before locking a format or laser power.
When is a high-power machine the right choice?
It is most relevant when thick-plate piercing, cutting throughput or a mixed thin-to-thick production schedule justifies 3–20 kW output. Validate the choice from real parts and output targets rather than power alone.
How do the exchange tables improve production?
One table can remain in the enclosed cutting area while the second supports loading or unloading. This overlaps material handling with cutting and reduces waiting between sheets.
Can it cut carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum?
These materials are within the stated application scope. Actual thickness, quality and speed depend on grade, laser power, cutting head, assist gas, surface condition and process settings.
Does 8025 guarantee an 8,000 × 2,500 mm working area?
The model code indicates a nominal format. Confirm actual working travel, table dimensions, loading clearance and usable nesting area in the technical agreement.
Can extraction and automatic loading be added?
Yes. The reference configuration lists optional dust removal, fully enclosed protection and automatic feeding. Define the required automation level and factory interface during project evaluation.
What specifications still need confirmation?
Confirm working travel, table capacity and exchange time, axis speed and accuracy, supported thickness by material, laser source, cutting head, control system, extraction, utilities, dimensions and weight.
What should I send for a recommendation?
Send plate grades, thickness range, blank sizes, drawings or nesting files, monthly or shift output, edge-quality requirements, handling method and available factory space.
