What Our Customers Say About Laser Cutting Machines

Steel Structure Manufacturing | Turkey

“We mainly process 20–40 mm carbon steel plates. We used to use plasma cutting equipment. After we bought a 12000W laser cutting machine for thick metal based on the sales team’s advice, the cutting speed for thick plates improved a lot. The cuts are smoother, and we need much less grinding work.”

Mechanical Industry | Portugal

“This 6 kW tube laser cutting machine has been running stably for more than one year. Our production workload is heavy. We need to run the machine for long hours every day to process different types of tubes. Even so, the cutting quality and accuracy are still very good and stable.”

Metal Processing | United States

“Our laser cutting machine has been installed and is now in use. We especially thank the after-sales team of DXTECH for their support. We chose DXTECH mainly for this reason. The after-sales service is the most satisfying part.”

FAQ

As a heavy duty laser cutting machine manufacturer, DXTECH is dedicated to delivering exceptional service and support! If you have any questions before your purchase, please feel free to leave us a message.

Yes. A heavy duty laser cutting machine is designed for continuous industrial production. It uses a heavy welded machine bed, an industrial cooling system, and high-quality drive parts. It can run for long hours under high load.

In most medium- and thick-plate cutting applications, it can replace traditional plasma and flame cutting.

High-power laser cutting machines usually offer higher cutting accuracy, a smaller heat-affected zone, and better edge quality. This helps reduce secondary grinding and lowers total production cost.

The key is matching laser power, assist gas, cutting head performance, and cutting settings. Using an auto-focus cutting head, stable gas pressure, and optimized parameters for thick materials can reduce dross, taper, and heat deformation.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the protective lens, checking the cooling system, maintaining the lubrication system, checking gas lines for leaks, and cleaning the dust removal system. Good maintenance helps extend machine life and keep stable cutting quality.

Efficiency is not only about higher power. It also depends on auto-focus cutting heads, smart path planning, proper assist gas selection, and automatic loading and unloading systems.
