AutoCut-SM12000: 12kW Fiber Laser Cutting for Automotive Sheet Metal

The AutoCut-SM12000 is a high-power fiber laser cutting system optimized for automotive sheet metal production. With 12,000W of laser power and a high-dynamic gantry structure, it cuts galvanized steel, aluminum alloy, and advanced high-strength steel (AHSS/UHSS) at speeds that outperform conventional stamping for small-to-medium batch production.

Key Features

• 12,000W IPG/Raycus fiber laser — ultra-high cutting speed on thin sheet
• High-dynamic gantry: acceleration up to 3G, max speed 180m/min (positioning)
• Automatic nozzle changer: 6-position, reduces changeover to under 10 seconds
• Intelligent piercing: adaptive power control for AHSS/UHSS without slag
• Pallet changer: dual-pallet exchange in <8 seconds for continuous production
• Working area: 3000×1500mm standard (4000×2000mm available)

Technical Specifications

Applications

Automotive door panels, hood and trunk lids, EV battery tray blanks, floor panels, wheel arches, and structural reinforcements. Suitable for Tier-1 and Tier-2 automotive stamping suppliers transitioning to flexible laser cutting.

AHSS/UHSS Cutting Advantage

Advanced high-strength steels (980MPa–1500MPa) are increasingly used in EV body structures for lightweighting. The SM12000's intelligent piercing algorithm and nitrogen-assist cutting deliver burr-free edges on DP980, CP1180, and hot-stamped PHS1500 — eliminating secondary deburring operations.
