LAZIRON EPL Automatic Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Machine

The automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine LAZIRON EPL is the complete solution for workshops and factories that want to eliminate manual intervention from the sheet metal cutting process. Integrated into a single functional line, this automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine combines the 3D vertical storage tower, robotic loading, the fiber cutting head and automatic pallet unloading, all controlled from a single Cypcut interface.

Built on a reinforced steel frame with anti-vibration supports and equipped with a fiber laser source between 3 and 20 kW, every LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine delivers industrial-grade quality at an acquisition cost designed for integrators who want a fast payback, with no compromise on performance or on the service life of the equipment.

What makes the LAZIRON EPL a complete automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine

The LAZIRON EPL line concentrates in a single system the advantages that matter on a real production floor: sustainable speed, repeatability, full automation and predictable operating costs over the long term.

• Fiber laser power of 3–20 kW (compatible with Raycus, Max, IPG), cuts carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and brass with a single configuration, with no costly source upgrades later on.
• 3D multi-layer vertical storage tower that doubles sheet storage capacity compared to classic horizontal racks and frees up valuable floor space in the workshop.
• Fully automatic loading, cutting and unloading: a single automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine replaces three operators and runs 24/7 without constant supervision on night shifts.
• Positioning accuracy of ±0.03 mm and repositioning of ±0.02 mm, with focus at 0.01 mm, clean edges, no burrs and no secondary machining of parts.
• S&A dual-circuit industrial chiller that maintains the optimal temperature of the laser source and the optics, extending the service life of critical components.
• CE-certified viewing panels, emergency stop and anti-collision system integrated into the RayTools head with capacitive autofocus for instant transitions between materials.
• Cypcut CAD/CAM software with automatic nesting, fly-cutting, common edge cutting and a library of parametric parts, material waste under 15% in real production conditions.

Technical specifications, LAZIRON EPL automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine

This LAZIRON EPL automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine is available in three standard dimensional configurations, the choice being made according to the sheet format currently being processed and the workshop's monthly production volume.

Industries that use a LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine

A LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine is built for long cycles and high volumes, and is adopted by companies that deliver serial components to sectors with strict quality requirements and short delivery deadlines.

Heavy machinery manufacturers and automotive assemblers use a LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine to cut structural components, chassis frames, engine mounts, body panels, directly from sheets up to 25 mm thick, with consistent repeatability throughout an 8-hour shift. The same line serves metal fabrication workshops and metal furniture factories just as well, where the diversity of shapes and the high volume demand fast switching between programs.

The shipbuilding industry, the industrial hardware sector and renewable energy manufacturers (frames for photovoltaic panels, structural components for wind turbines) frequently integrate the LAZIRON EPL line into their automated production flows, benefiting from a value-for-money ratio that keeps the cost of investment accessible even for mid-sized workshops.

Materials compatible with a LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine

Configurable with fiber laser sources between 3 and 20 kW, every LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine processes a wide range of metals without requiring special consumables, without interchangeable heads and without technical pauses between materials.

The RayTools head with capacitive autofocus switches cutting parameters automatically, based on the program loaded from Cypcut, and the anti-back-reflection protection of the laser source allows safe processing of reflective metals such as copper and brass.

Maximum thickness per material (with a 12 kW laser source)

• Carbon steel: up to 25 mm
• Stainless steel: up to 20 mm
• Aluminum: up to 16 mm
• Copper: up to 10 mm
• Brass: up to 12 mm

How the LAZIRON EPL line works

The workflow of a LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine is built on the principle of "zero intervention" between loading the raw sheet from storage and the pallet of finished parts ready for delivery to the next operation.

1. The sheet is picked automatically from the 3D vertical storage tower, the operator refills the racks periodically without intervening between cycles.
2. The suction cup system with magnetic detection separates a single sheet from the stack and transfers it to the line's cutting table.
3. The RayTools head positions itself, auto-calibrates the height with the capacitive sensor and starts the nesting program generated in Cypcut.
4. The laser head performs the cut with 1.5 G acceleration and adaptive speed depending on the thickness and type of material.
5. Finished parts are unloaded automatically onto the discharge pallet, and the scrap is separated onto a secondary conveyor.
6. The next program starts instantly, with no pause between cycles, and the machine continues uninterrupted throughout the shift.

For workshops that want integration with other processing equipment, the EPL line connects natively to electric press brakes and to the other LAZIRON automated lines through a shared MES.

Frequently asked questions about the automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine

Which laser source power should I choose for a LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine if I mainly process carbon steel?

For carbon steel sheet up to 12 mm, the 6 kW source offers the best speed-to-cost ratio and is the most popular configuration. If you frequently process thicknesses over 15 mm, or if productivity matters more than the initial cost, choose the 12 kW configuration. The 15–20 kW sources are reserved for workshops that cut plates over 25 mm daily or that want very short cycles.

How long is the payback period for a LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine?

The calculation depends on production volume and current labor costs, but most of our integrators report payback within 18–30 months of operation. The main saving comes from eliminating two to three operators per line and from reducing material waste to under 15% thanks to the automatic nesting in Cypcut, compared to over 25% with classic manual nesting.

Can I integrate this line with an existing MES or ERP?

Yes, the Cypcut software supports standard APIs for data exchange with common industrial MES and ERP systems (SAP, Odoo, Sage X3, Microsoft Dynamics). The integration is set up during the equipment commissioning phase, and LAZIRON engineers provide the complete technical specifications for your IT integrator, including the data mapping.

What delivery and installation are included in the order?

Delivery is made DAP to your premises, while installation, commissioning and operator training are optional services that can be contracted separately at the buyer's premises. Online or on-site inspection at the factory, before shipping, is offered free of charge for any LAZIRON automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine, and transport can be configured by sea, by land or combined.

What are the differences between a complete automatic sheet metal laser cutting machine and a laser machine with an exchange table?

The exchange-table machine cuts automatically, but loading and unloading the sheet remain manual operations that require two dedicated operators per shift. The EPL line automates these stages as well through the 3D storage tower and the suction cup system, replacing 2–3 operators per line and allowing continuous production on night shifts, without direct supervision.
