Amada ENSIS-3015AJ vs Bystronic ByCut Star 4020
Amada vs Bystronic · CNC Laser Cutting
Summary
The Amada ENSIS-3015AJ and the Bystronic ByCut Star 4020 are both CNC laser cutting machines. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair, and the table has two rows: laser power and control.
The Amada ENSIS-3015AJ is listed at 9,000 W. The Bystronic ByCut Star 4020 is offered with fiber sources of 6-15 kW, which is a span of options rather than one machine's figure, and the Amada's 9,000 W sits inside it. The row therefore shows that the Bystronic can be ordered with less or more power than the Amada, not that one outcuts the other. The controls differ: AMNC 3i with a touchscreen LCD on the Amada, ByVision / BySoft 7 on the Bystronic.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Amada ENSIS-3015AJ | Bystronic ByCut Star 4020 |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Power | 9,000 W | 6-15 kW fiber ▲ |
| Control | AMNC 3i (touchscreen LCD) | ByVision / BySoft 7 |
Advantages
Amada ENSIS-3015AJ
- Described for mixed jobs that gain from automatic nozzle and focus changes
- Described for thick mild steel plate as well as sheet
Bystronic ByCut Star 4020
- Fiber sources offered across 6-15 kW, so the top option exceeds the Amada's 9,000 W
- Suited to stainless steel and aluminum plate at high power, and to thin-sheet nests with many short contours
Verdict
Laser power alone does not settle this pair, because the Amada's 9,000 W falls inside the 6-15 kW the Bystronic is offered with. A shop that needs more than 9,000 W for stainless steel or aluminum plate has that option only on the Bystronic ByCut Star 4020. A shop cutting mixed jobs, where automatic nozzle and focus changes save setup, is the buyer the Amada ENSIS-3015AJ is described for. Check sheet size and cutting capacity on each machine's own page.
