Fabertec FL4
1530, 2030, 2040, 2060
Introducing the FABERTEC FL4, the ultimate solution for laser cutting subcontractors who demand unparalleled performance and reliability around the clock. With the FL4, you can process laser-cut parts non-stop, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring maximum productivity and efficiency for your business.
Comparable to models from well-known brands that typically cost between £300k-800k, the FL4 offers exceptional value starting from just £59k + VAT for the 2kW laser source configuration. Despite its affordable price point, the FL4 does not compromise on quality or capabilities.
Designed to operate as economically as possible, the FL4 boasts a robust construction and advanced features that enable it to handle a wide range of applications with precision and speed. From intricate designs to heavy-duty materials, the FL4 delivers consistent and reliable results, allowing you to maximize the value of your investment.
Maximizing Uptime, Efficiency, and Maintenance-Free Operations
FL4 maximizes uptime with an integrated shuttle table system, which allows one table to be loaded/unloaded while cutting on the other table. Table changeover is completed in just 45 seconds. Sheet edge recognition will adjust all your vectors to unaligned metal sheet on slats. Automatic height adjustment, laser head collision prevention and frog leap, will keep you cutting all day long without any stopovers. Micro Joint will allow you to cut tiny pieces, leaving a tab between elements to remove larger sections, instead of fishing out for small parts in floor drawer.
Fly cutting, circle centering, frame border and other are adding to efficiency in your operations Our fibre laser cutting machines are built to require little to no maintenance, and our laser sources may operate for up to 100,000 hours without calibration or expensive replacements. Only inexpensive spares, like lenses, lens covers, and nozzles, are needed. For businesses that need to create thousands of pieces in just a few days, fibre lasers for metal cutting are basically the only option.
The FL4 with a standard minimum table size of 1500 x 3000mm and a dual-table conveyor system, FL4 simplifies operations. Cut on one table while the second retracts, enabling easy sheet loading via forklift, magnetic crane, or clamp crane.
LASER SOURCE - THE HEART OF FIBER LASER CUTTING MACHINES
In all fiber laser cutting machines the one of the most important part which allows for smooth and accurate cuts is laser source. At FABERTEC we offer German/US made IPG source or more affordable MAX/RAYCUS source.
Before 2024, we thought that IPG is the best laser source but after we received training in laser source repairs and we opened first in UK repair centre FIBER DOCTOR we look at MAX / RAYCUS brands with much more respect.
MAX/RAYCUS source cost roughly 30-40% of the IPG brand and they cutting with the same quality/speed and accuracy like more expensive brands.
What's most important in our opinion is the fact that those affordable brands can be repaired with ease, spare parts are available and they designed to be more open for service centres.
All of course is dependable on your budget and preference. At FABERTEC we will install in our UK branch whatever source you may prefer.
When cutting reflective materials like brass/copper you have to make sure you will be piercing material without bounce back light going back to laser source. Any damage from laser coming back to source may not be honoured by the manufacturer.
Enhanced Safety and User-Friendly Operation
With a strong focus on safety, FL4 is fully enclosed with CCTV cameras inside and outside showing you 1st and 2nd pallet table. The rear open table is surrounded by light barriers, to prevent any damage to operator or loader when tables are exchanging. To improve cutting efficiency barriers only work during table movement, so loader can clean all finished elements and load new sheet, without engaging emergency stop by walking between light barriers.
Simple and intuitive the CAD/CAM software is provided as a standard. In the past, we had a situation where an operator who was previously cutting on Amada or Trumpf machines or even plasma cutters was able to efficiently operate Fabertec machines after literally 15 minutes of training.
