3015 Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Sheet Metal

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• How much does a 3015 fiber laser cutting machine cost to buy and to run?

  The 3015 is quoted by configuration, not from a single list price, because the same 3000 x 1500 mm bed is offered from 1.5 kW up to 20 kW. The main cost drivers are laser power, the source brand and model, the auto-focus cutting head, the Cypcut controller package, the matched water chiller, sheet loading, guarding, spare parts and freight. Running cost is dominated by assist gas, electricity and consumables. Send your material, thickness and part drawings and Vank Laser will quote the exact configuration and its consumable list.

• Which power should I choose for a 3015 — 3 kW, 6 kW or higher?

  Choose by the thickness and volume you run most often; the 3015 is offered in 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 10, 12, 15 and 20 kW classes. On Vank Laser's published reference table, carbon steel reaches 25 mm at 3 kW, 40 mm at 10 kW and 55 mm at 20 kW, while stainless steel runs 12 mm at 3 kW and 20 mm at 6 kW. If nearly all your work sits inside the 3 kW range, extra power mainly buys throughput rather than new jobs. Compare the complete cycle, including gas demand, loading and sorting.

• What cutting thickness can a 3015 handle, by material and power?

  Vank Laser publishes a reference table for maximum processing thickness. Carbon steel runs 1-16 mm at 1.5 kW, 1-25 mm at 3 kW, 1-40 mm at 10 kW and 1-55 mm at 20 kW. Stainless steel runs 1-8 mm at 1.5 kW, 1-12 mm at 3 kW and 1-80 mm at 20 kW. Aluminum and brass reach 1-6 mm at 1.5 kW and 1-27 mm at 20 kW. These figures are reference values, not a guarantee, so the exact thickness and edge quality for your alloy are confirmed on a sample cut.

• What positioning accuracy does the 3015 hold, and is that the same as part tolerance?

  The 3015 is specified at plus or minus 0.02 mm repeat positioning accuracy with Raytools cutting head and HIWIN guide rail. That is machine motion accuracy, not finished-part tolerance. Usable tolerance depends on material, thickness, kerf, heat input, focus, assist gas, calibration and how you inspect the part. Send your drawing with critical dimensions marked and Vank Laser will record measured results on a sample as the acceptance reference.

• What are the installation requirements, and how are training and after-sales handled?

  The machine body measures approximately 4190 x 2520 x 1320 mm and needs a level, load-rated floor with service clearance on all sides; power supply is 380 V, 50/60 Hz, three-phase, plus the matched industrial chiller, extraction and assist gas supply. Installation guidance, operator training, troubleshooting, spare-parts assistance and warranty service follow the signed quotation, so confirm what the warranty covers and excludes, how remote support is delivered, whether on-site service is included, and how travel and spare parts are charged.

• Can the 3015 cut tube as well as sheet metal?

  No. The 3015 is a flatbed sheet metal machine and cuts flat sheet only, because tube and pipe need dedicated chuck hardware, a different support system and matched software. If you need both, treat them as two separate machines. Vank Laser supplies the VK-6024 fiber laser tube cutter with a 6000 x 2400 mm processing format and 240 mm chuck for round, square and rectangular tube.

• Does Vank Laser support OEM and ODM private label?

  Yes. Vank Laser builds machines under customer brands, so the nameplate, machine colour and decals, the operating manual and the control interface can be produced to your own label and specification. Send your brand assets, target market and the configuration you want to sell, and the factory will confirm tooling, minimum quantity, lead time, packaging and the certification documents required for that market. Ask for the private-label checklist when you request the quotation.

• What do you need from me to quote, and can I send material for a cutting test?

  Send the material grade and coating, thickness range, part drawings or DXF files, the smallest hole and feature you must hold, the required tolerance, your monthly volume, destination country and site voltage. A sample test is the standard step before an order: Vank Laser records the configuration, nozzle, assist gas, focus and measured results, and those results become the acceptance reference for the order. Ask for sample photos or video if shipping material is impractical.
