How do I choose the right laser cutting machine for my business?

At Advanced Precision Machines, selecting the right machine depends on material type, thickness, sheet size, and production volume.

• For thin sheet precision work → Compact machines are ideal 
• For high production requirements → Exchange table machines are recommended 
• For large format and heavy fabrication → Large bed machines are suitable 

Our expert laser team works closely with you to recommend the right configuration, ensuring maximum productivity and ROI.

What laser power should I choose (with material thickness and gas)?

Laser power directly impacts cutting thickness, speed, and edge quality.

1.5 – 3 kW

• Mild Steel (Oxygen): up to 12–16 mm 
• Mild Steel (Air): up to 6–8 mm 
• Stainless Steel (Nitrogen): up to 5–8 mm 
• Aluminium (Nitrogen): up to 4–6 mm 

6 kW

• Mild Steel (Oxygen): up to 20–25 mm 
• Mild Steel (Air): up to 10–12 mm 
• Stainless Steel (Nitrogen): up to 12–16 mm 
• Aluminium (Nitrogen): up to 10–12 mm 

12 kW

• Mild Steel (Oxygen): up to 30–35 mm 
• Mild Steel (Air): up to 14–16 mm 
• Stainless Steel (Nitrogen): up to 20–25 mm 
• Aluminium (Nitrogen): up to 16–20 mm 

20 – 30 kW

• Mild Steel (Oxygen): up to 40–50 mm 
• Mild Steel (Air): up to 18–20 mm 
• Stainless Steel (Nitrogen): up to 30–40 mm 
• Aluminium (Nitrogen): up to 25–30 mm 

40 kW and above

• Mild Steel (Oxygen): above 50 mm 
• Mild Steel (Air): up to 25 mm 
• Stainless Steel (Nitrogen): up to 40–50 mm 
• Aluminium (Nitrogen): up to 35–40 mm 

Gas Selection Insight:

• Oxygen → Best for thick mild steel (cost-effective) 
• Nitrogen → Best for oxide-free cutting (SS & Aluminium) 
• Air → Best for low-cost cutting (thin sheets) 

👉 We help optimize power + gas combination for lowest cost per part

What sheet size should I choose?

Choose based on your standard raw material size and job profile:

• Up to 6.5 x 2.5 m → General fabrication 
• Up to 12 x 2.5 m → High production & large parts 
• Up to 26 x 5 m → Heavy industry & infrastructure 

Correct sheet size = Better nesting + Less wastage + Higher efficiency
