Fiber Laser Sheet Cutting
Three series — ProCut, PowerCut, and UltraCut — covering 3kW to 20kW+. Choose the right enclosure type, power level, and bed size for your material and production volume.
Select Your Series
Same MAX fiber laser source and FSCUT controls across all series. Choose based on enclosure, bed format, and cutting power.
ProCut Series
3kW – 12kW
The ProCut is Wavlon's open-frame workhorse — a clean gantry design with full-width accessibility, ideal for mixed-material job shops and fabrication operations where operators need easy access to the cutting bed.
- Open gantry design for unrestricted loading and unloading
- 3015 and 4020 bed formats — handles oversized plate
- MAX fiber laser source with FSCUT 2000 controller
- Light curtain safety system standard on all configurations
- ProCut UL variant adds ultra-large 6020 bed option
PowerCut Series
3kW – 12kW
The PowerCut is Wavlon's flagship enclosed cabin machine — a fully sealed cutting environment with integrated fume extraction, automatic door operation, and a compact 3015 footprint built for production environments.
- Full enclosure with automatic sliding door for operator safety
- Integrated zone smoke extraction — no external ducting required
- Sectioned enclosure panels for easy internal access & maintenance
- Left-hand and right-hand door configurations available
- CE-certified electrical cabinet with Schneider components
UltraCut Series
3kW – 20kW+
The UltraCut is built for heavy production — dual-pallet exchange tables for near-continuous operation, high-power laser options up to 20kW, and a robust frame engineered for structural steel and thick-plate cutting.
- Dual-pallet exchange table — load while the machine cuts
- Up to 20kW for thick stainless, aluminum, and mild steel
- Monitoring cameras for remote process observation
- Optional bevel cutting head for chamfered edge preparation
- Safety light curtains and fume monitoring standard
Cuts Every Common Metal
All three sheet cutting series support the full range of metals used in fabrication, manufacturing, and structural construction.
Built for Canadian Manufacturers
Every machine ships with Canadian-backed installation, training, and service — not just a freight quote.
How fiber laser sheet cutting works
A fiber laser sheet cutting machine focuses a fiber laser beam onto flat metal plate held on a slatted bed, and moves the cutting head across it under CNC control. The beam melts a narrow kerf while an assist gas blows the molten material clear, leaving a clean edge that usually needs no secondary finishing. Fiber sources cut sheet metal faster and far more efficiently than the older CO₂ technology they replaced, and with no cutting-gas-generating optics to maintain.
Wavlon's sheet machines run a MAX fiber laser source with FSCUT control and Cypcut/Hypcut software, reaching cutting speeds of 100–120 m/min depending on the series. What changes between ProCut, PowerCut, and UltraCut is not the core cutting process — it is the enclosure, the bed format, and the automation around it.
Assist gas: the choice that sets your edge and your cost
Assist gas matters as much as laser power for the finish you get and the gas you pay for. The three options behave differently:
| Gas | Best for | Edge result |
|---|---|---|
| Oxygen (O₂) | Thick mild/carbon steel | Fast on thick plate; leaves an oxide layer on the edge |
| Nitrogen (N₂) | Stainless, aluminum, clean mild steel | Inert cut — bright, oxide-free edge ready to weld or finish |
| Compressed air | Thin mild steel and general work | Lowest running cost; edge quality between O₂ and N₂ |
The practical trade-off: nitrogen gives the cleanest edge but consumes the most gas, so shops running high volumes of thin material often move to compressed air to cut running costs, and reserve nitrogen for stainless and aluminum where edge quality is non-negotiable.
Reading bed formats: what 3015 and 4020 mean
Bed sizes are quoted as a four-digit code for the cutting area in decimetres. 3015 is a 3,000 × 1,500mm bed — the standard format that fits a full 4×8 sheet with room to spare. 4020 is 4,000 × 2,000mm, for oversized plate and longer nests, and the ProCut UL variant adds a 6020 (6,000 × 2,000mm) option. A larger bed means fewer sheet changes on big jobs, but takes more floor space — size it to the plate you actually buy.
Choosing power and enclosure
Two decisions size a sheet machine. Power sets maximum thickness and cutting speed: all three series start at 3kW, ProCut and PowerCut reach 12kW (up to 35mm mild steel), and UltraCut goes to 20kW+ for the thickest plate. As with any laser, size to the thickness you cut regularly rather than the heaviest one-off.
Enclosure is the second axis, and it maps cleanly to how you run:
- ProCut — open gantry, full-width access, 3015 and 4020 beds. The workhorse for mixed-material job shops.
- PowerCut — fully enclosed cabin with integrated fume extraction and Class 1 safety built in, on a compact 3015 footprint. Built for production.
- UltraCut — dual-pallet exchange tables so the machine cuts one sheet while you load the next, up to 20kW+. For heavy, high-throughput production.

Buying a sheet laser in Canada
Every Wavlon machine is pre-configured for Canadian electrical and safety standards before it ships, installed on-site by our own technicians, and backed by a standard 2-year warranty on parts and labour with extended plans available. Consumables — lenses, nozzles, ceramic holders — are stocked in Canada for next-business-day delivery, and financing is arranged in Canadian dollars so there is no exchange-rate exposure between approval and delivery.
