Want to learn more about what fibre laser cutting machines are and how they work?
Fibre lasers cutters have become indispensable tools across a wide range of industries & engineering, thanks to their precision, efficiency, and versatility, especially with sheet metal.
One of the primary sectors is the manufacturing industry. This includes the automotive and aerospace sectors, where parts need to be produced with exact specifications for safety and performance.
Another significant user of fibre laser cutters is the electronics industry. Here, they are used to cut intricate designs and components with high precision, which is essential for the miniaturization of electronic devices.
The medical device industry also utilises fibre laser machines to produce surgical instruments and implants, requiring extreme accuracy and cleanliness. Additionally, the energy sector, including solar and wind power, uses fibre lasers to cut parts for renewable energy equipment.
A wide variety of options & packages are available with the entire range of HPC fibre laser cutters (as with all of our products).
We offer a multitude of laser source manufacturers to suit all budgets whilst still delivering the service and reliability that you would expect from HPC.
We offer fully enclosed safety interlocked class 1 systems. Our flatbed machines are available with dual table interchange systems.
These allow you to unload one table and load new material whilst the other table is processing material inside the machine. Thus offering huge savings on operator redundancy and material setup times.
All HPC Laser machines are provided with onboard Windows-based computer software together with an intuitive heavy-duty control panel. This is particularly suited for arduous environments.
All of our fibre laser sources are water-cooled, so our machines are supplied with a heavy-duty water chiller to ensure reliable 24/7 operation should you require it.
We understand that fibre laser metal cutting machines represent a significant investment.
Hence, we offer a full delivery, installation, commissioning, and onsite training service for your team, whether you’re a manufacturer or in the education sector, such as a recent install we completed for the University of Manchester.
However, our commitment to the customer does not stop there. Our highly experienced national team of service engineers is on hand to offer service and maintenance at a frequency and urgency to suit your budgets.
Furthermore, the purchase of any HPC machine entitles you to our highly rated warranty and lifetime e-mail, telephone technical support, and online remote support, meaning you’re never alone if you encounter difficulties.
We also run our own online forum where you can be part of the HPC community, ask questions, get help and discuss projects with other members.

Buying a fibre laser machine for the first time can be a daunting process with many questions along the way. Below you’ll find some of the answers to questions we regularly receive from customers.
While fibre lasers are exceptionally versatile and capable of processing a wide range of materials, they are not ideal for every material. They excel at cutting a wide range of metals such as steel, aluminium, and copper. However, they are not suitable for cutting materials like plastics and woods, which require different laser types (like CO2 lasers) that have wavelengths better absorbed by these materials.
We offer free of charge live machine demonstration sessions at our West Yorkshire showroom where you can spend time with an experienced engineer, seeing what our machines are capable of. There is no hard sell, and you can bring along your own materials and design files. We can also offer local demonstrations of machines already installed at some customer sites up and down the country.
We’re also regularly at exhibitions and local events throughout the country. Please contact us to discuss what options we can offer.
Fibre lasers do not require gases to generate the laser beam itself, as their operation is based on fibre optic technology. The laser is created by pumping intense light through fibre optic cables doped with rare-earth elements. Assist gases are required in order to cut through various metals. Carbon steels usually require oxygen, with stainless steels, aluminium, brass and copper needing nitrogen. However, compressed air can also be used on many of these materials with excellent results. Please CONTACT US to learn more.
Fibre lasers are renowned for their longevity and reliability, with a typical lifespan that can exceed 100,000 hours of operation. This durability translates to many years of service, often around 10 to 15 years, depending on the specific usage patterns, maintenance practices, and operating environment.
The long lifespan is due to the inherent design of fibre lasers, which have few moving parts and a solid-state setup, minimizing wear and tear.
Fibre lasers and CO2 lasers differ primarily in their source of light and application efficiency. Fibre lasers use a solid-state diode and optical fibres doped with rare-earth elements to generate a laser beam, making them highly efficient for cutting and engraving metals. They offer advantages in terms of electrical efficiency, maintenance, and cutting speed, especially for thinner materials.
CO2 lasers, on the other hand, generate laser light by passing electricity through a gas-filled tube, typically containing carbon dioxide. They are versatile, capable of cutting, engraving, and marking a wide range of materials, including wood, plastic and glass. CO2 lasers are preferred for non-metal materials due to their longer wavelength, which is better absorbed by organic and non-metal materials.
In summary, the choice between fibre and CO2 lasers depends on the specific application, with fibre lasers being more efficient for metal processing and CO2 lasers offering broader material versatility.
