SF-FlyingX Enclosed Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Sheet Metal Fabrication

Enclosed sheet metal cutting solution Overview SF-FlyingX Enclosed Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Sheet Metal Fabrication SF-FlyingX is a fully enclosed fiber laser cutting machine built for productive sheet-metal fabrication. It combines 3-20 kW laser power, a high-speed shuttle table, EtherCAT motion control, intelligent fume extraction and a robust precision-machined bed in one operator-focused platform. Four configurable working areas support job shops and production manufacturers processing carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, brass and compatible sheet materials. Best For General sheet-metal fabrication, contract cutting and mixed-material production. Manufacturers requiring enclosed laser protection and effective fume extraction. High-utilization production that benefits from loading and unloading one table while the other table is cutting. Applications from small-shop metalwork to electronics, aerospace, automotive and batch production. Core Advantages Fully enclosed protection: protective viewing windows filter scattered laser light while allowing external process observation. High-speed shuttle table: reduces idle time by allowing material handling during cutting; the 3015 reference configuration changes tables in approximately 22-24 seconds. Follow-up fume extraction: multi-zone vents open near the active cutting area and close elsewhere to maintain focused suction. EtherCAT control: provides fast signal response, low latency, closed-loop feedback, simplified wiring and strong interference resistance. Robust machine body: thick high-strength welded steel, high-temperature stress relief and multi-stage precision milling support stable long-term accuracy.

Main Configuration System Configuration Function Machine Bed High-strength welded steel structure, stress-relieved at 600 C and precision milled Supports long-term geometry, cutting stability and accurate guide-rail installation. Laser Source Raycus standard configuration; alternative source brands available by project Provides the selected 3-20 kW laser output for the target material range. Control System FSCUT 4000E for configurations up to 8 kW; high-power control platform for 12 kW and above Manages motion, cutting processes, piercing, obstacle avoidance, monitoring and production control. Cutting Head BOCI BLT series selected by laser power Provides automatic focusing, closed-loop monitoring, nozzle cooling and process protection. Motion System Inovance EtherCAT servo system Delivers fast closed-loop response, vibration suppression and accurate coordinated motion. Linear Guides CSK high-rigidity, sealed linear guides Supports high load, repeatable positioning, smooth travel and low-noise operation. Rack and Pinion KH heavy-duty precision rack and pinion Supports high-speed, long-stroke X/Y motion. Water Chiller Hanli dual-circuit industrial chiller Provides stable cooling for the laser source and cutting head. Lubrication Automatic pneumatic lubrication Reduces wear and routine maintenance requirements. Electrical Cabinet Independent air-conditioned cabinet with plug-type connections Protects precision electrical components and simplifies installation and service. Gas Control Integrated gas-control system with pressure monitoring Supports oxygen, nitrogen and compressed-air cutting while protecting the process when supply pressure is insufficient. Extraction Multi-chamber follow-up downdraft system Concentrates suction around the active cutting area. Standard Automation Dual shuttle table, automatic nozzle cleaning and automatic lubrication Reduces non-cutting time and routine operator intervention. Component brands and models may change with laser power, availability, destination standards and project requirements. The final bill of materials is confirmed before ordering. Cutting Head & Process Intelligence Automatic focus adjustment with fast focusing and repeatable focus positioning. Protective-lens temperature and cutting-gas pressure monitoring with alarms. Collision detection and replaceable anti-collision protection reduce repair time after an impact. High-power heads can add protective-window monitoring, internal stray-light monitoring, smart piercing and automatic recutting. Fly cutting, micro-joints, adaptive piercing, frame simulation and intelligent obstacle avoidance improve cutting efficiency and process safety.

Optional Equipment Voltage transformer and voltage stabilizer. Air compressor for compressed-air cutting. Industrial dust collector. Nitrogen generator. Automatic loading system. Automatic loading and unloading system. Safety light curtain and additional gas-circuit protection. Before Ordering Provide material grades, minimum and maximum thickness, sheet sizes and production targets. Confirm the required working area, laser power, edge-quality expectation and preferred assist gases. Share representative drawings and nesting files for process evaluation. Confirm available floor space, loading direction, automation level, extraction and local safety requirements. Confirm destination voltage, frequency, ambient conditions and available gas pressures. Final configuration, price, lead time, shipping, installation and commissioning scope are confirmed through a project quotation. FAQ Which laser power should I choose? The correct power depends on material type, thickness, edge-quality requirements and required throughput. Representative parts should be reviewed before configuration. Which working areas are available? Standard configurations include 3,050 x 1,530 mm, 6,050 x 1,530 mm, 4,050 x 2,000 mm and 6,050 x 2,500 mm working areas. Can it cut with compressed air? Yes. Compressed-air cutting can be configured for suitable materials and thicknesses. Compressor capacity and air quality must meet the process requirement. Does the enclosure control cutting fumes? The full enclosure is paired with a multi-chamber follow-up extraction system. An appropriately sized external dust collector is still required for the material, power and production duty. Can automatic loading and unloading be added? Yes. Automatic loading and combined loading/unloading systems are available as project options.
