50 kW laser machines: bevel cutting at high power

50 kW bevel cutting: power and precision on the same part

With 50 kW fiber laser systems, even the most demanding thicknesses are handled with consistent cut quality. 50 kW bevel cutting opens up new production options: edge preparation, for welding for example, is done directly on the machine, with no downstream step.

Some of the samples cut with our high-power systems:

30 mm mild steel with bevel cutting
50 mm stainless steel
100 mm Hardox

Bevel cutting on 30 mm mild steel with fiber laser — Bevel cutting on 30 mm mild steel: the hole with an angled edge, ready for welding.

These are results that were out of reach on bevel cuts until recently: the available power and the process control make it possible to hold thickness and edge quality together.

What sets 50 kW laser systems apart

The strengths of our ultra-high-power systems:

High power, with fast, precise cuts even on heavy thicknesses.
Evo 4 cutting head and bevel head option, which make 50 kW usable on bevel cuts too, with consistent quality throughout the job.
High-grade mechanical and optical components: IPG Photonics sources, the stability of linear motors and an electro-welded, thermally stabilized steel frame.
Tailored configurations for loading and unloading and for the specific needs of each shop.

These are the elements that make these systems right for companies running at high power every day, in real production and not just in trials.

Where the 50 kW laser works

Our machines work in the most demanding sectors, with solutions for a range of industrial applications.

Shipbuilding and rail

The precision and speed of the 50 kW laser allow bevel and high-precision cuts even on heavy thicknesses, meeting the production needs of shipbuilding and large vehicles.

Sheet metal working

With clean cuts even on thick plate, the machines cut production times and raise the quality of the finished part.

Heavy fabrication

Cutting large formats with precision becomes straightforward: 50 kW systems raise shop efficiency and reduce operating costs, with high cut quality.

The Evo 4 cutting head, designed in-house

At the core of our ultra-high-power systems is the Evo 4 cutting head, built to take on the most complex jobs. Its features:

Modular, compact design, suited to every type of application.
Integrated capacitive sensor for real-time automatic calibration.
Simplified maintenance, with easily replaceable components.

With the Evo 4, stability and precision stay consistent even at the highest powers.

Where laser cutting goes next

After the 50 kW systems, our research continues toward even more efficient and productive solutions. Every machine is built to move a limit: that is how we work.

Frequently asked questions

What is a 50 kW laser machine?

It is a fiber laser cutting system with a 50 kW source, the highest power tier in our range: it cuts thick plate with consistent speed and quality, in continuous production.

What is bevel cutting and what is it for?

It is the angled cutting of sheet metal: it prepares the edges of the part, for welding for example, directly on the machine. It removes a downstream operation, and with 50 kW it is possible on heavy thicknesses too.

What thicknesses can a 50 kW laser cut?

Samples cut with our high-power systems include 30 mm mild steel with bevel cutting, 50 mm stainless steel and 100 mm Hardox. Actual figures depend on material, gas and machine configuration.

Which cutting head do 50 kW systems use?

The Evo 4 autofocus head, designed in-house: modular design, integrated capacitive sensor for automatic calibration and simplified maintenance. It is also available in the bevel head version.
