December 21, 2020 - Eagle Fiber Laser releases the world’s first 20kW fiber laser with reliability ready for 24/7 operation.
“We’re cutting ¾ in. steel at 120 to 160ipm which is crazy fast - faster than most plasma cutters. When we installed the first 15kW systems in the US back in 2019 we were amazed the eVa® cutting head retained its longevity at this power level. We’ve never replaced optics on any 15kW system nationwide. And now, we’ve seeing the same at 20kW,” said Chip Burnham, CEO and co-founder of Fairmont Machinery, North American dealer for Eagle Laser.
“Some people ask us if 20kW is only good for thick plate? If our machine was slow, then that would be true, but our iNspire Series produces 6g acceleration so we see cycle times slashed on all but thin gauge sheet metal,” described Brian Kent, President and co-founder of Fairmont Machinery. “The 20kW’s have completely taken off in the US, and our customers brag about not only the processing speeds, but also the reliability,” he continued.
