Where Bodor Fiber Lasers Earn Their Keep

From job shops cutting 1 mm galvanized to steel-structure fabricators cutting 50 mm plate — eight industries account for most of our 30,000+ global installations.

Job Shops and Contract Cutters

The bread-and-butter Bodor customer — a 20-to-80 person shop running one or two P Series machines across one to two shifts. Typical workload: 1–12 mm mild steel brackets, enclosures, covers, and sub-assembly parts in runs of 50 to 5,000.

  • Typical machineP-3kW / P-6kW
  • Dominant materialMild steel, stainless
  • Thickness window1–12 mm

Body Panels, Exhaust and EV Battery Trays

EV battery trays in 6xxx aluminium and body panel pre-cuts are a high-growth Bodor segment. P-12kW and P-20kW machines cut complex tray perimeters in single-pass with nitrogen assist for oxide-free edges.

  • Typical machineP-12kW / P-20kW
  • Dominant material5xxx / 6xxx aluminium
  • Kerf target< 0.2 mm for battery seal mating

Desk Frames, Gym Racks and Office Furniture

T Series tube lasers transform office-furniture and fitness-equipment builders. Automatic bundle loading + 3-chuck zero-tailing + kerf-less mitre cuts eliminate saw + punch + deburr sequences.

  • Typical machineT-3kW / T-4kW
  • Tube profile20×20–150×150 mm square
  • Process steps removedSaw + punch + deburr

Implement Bodies, Hopper Panels and Heavy Brackets

Ag OEMs cut 6–25 mm HARDOX, mild steel and weathering grades for implement frames, planter bodies and harvester brackets. Bodor's high-power P20 line handles this thickness with O₂ assist at consistent edge quality.

  • Typical machineP-12kW / P-20kW
  • Thickness window6–25 mm
  • Assist gasO₂ primary, N₂ for stainless lines
Steel structure H-beam cutting with Bodor T Series
05 · Steel Structures & Heavy

I-Beam, H-Beam and Gusset Plates

Structural fabricators move connection-plate cutting to P-20 and P-30kW Bodor machines, and beam-end copes to heavy-duty T Series. Single-pass 50 mm mild steel at 30 kW with N₂ assist reshapes shop throughput.

  • Typical machineP-20kW / P-30kW + T-6kW
  • Max cut (MS)50 mm at 30 kW
  • Process steps removedOxy-fuel + plasma touch-up
