How much does the Amada ENSIS 3015 AJe cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc laser cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Amada. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Amada ENSIS 3015 AJe is a fibre laser cutting machine with a 3070 x 1550 mm working range, offered at five power levels: 3000 W, 6000 W, 9000 W, 12000 W and 15000 W. Table load is 920 kg, the Z range is 100 mm and repeatable positioning accuracy is ± 0.01 mm.
The thickness table is the useful guide to choosing a power level, because the steps are uneven. At 3000 W the listed maximums are 25 mm in mild steel, 15 mm in stainless steel, 12 mm in aluminium, 8 mm in brass and 6 mm in copper. Moving to 6000 W is the big jump: stainless and aluminium both rise to 25 mm, brass to 15 mm and copper to 12 mm. After that the ceiling hardly moves. At 9000 W and above brass reaches 18 mm, and only the 15000 W version raises mild steel, to 30 mm.
So above 6000 W the extra power is not buying thickness in most materials. What it normally buys is cutting speed in mid-range plate, and Amada's table gives no speed figures, so that case has to be made from cutting data for the actual parts. Weight barely changes with power either: 9100 kg at 3000 W, 9500 kg at 6000 W, 9600 kg at 9000 W and 9700 kg at 12000 W, with the 15000 W figure still to be confirmed.
The machine needs a long bay. Length with the shuttle table is 9810 mm, width 2860 mm and height 2236 mm. Drives are listed as AC Servo drives. The ENSIS 3015 RIe shares the working range and the 920 kg table load but adds a rotary index for tube and stops at 9000 W, and the ENSIS 4020 AJe carries 1570 kg on its table.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Five power levels from 3000 W to 15000 W on one 3070 x 1550 mm frame
- From 6000 W, listed maximums of 25 mm in mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium
- Repeatable positioning accuracy of ± 0.01 mm
- Maximum table load of 920 kg for thick full-size sheet
- Cuts brass up to 18 mm and copper up to 12 mm at 9000 W and above
Limitations
- At 3000 W stainless steel is limited to 15 mm, aluminium to 12 mm, brass to 8 mm and copper to 6 mm
- Z range is 100 mm; the ENSIS 3015 RIe lists 200 mm
- Needs 9810 mm of length with the shuttle table and 2860 mm of width
- Machine weight for the 15000 W version is not yet stated, so floor loading for that option cannot be checked from the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Start from the thickest material you cut. The 3000 W level covers 25 mm mild steel, 15 mm stainless steel and 12 mm aluminium. Going to 6000 W lifts stainless steel and aluminium to 25 mm, brass to 15 mm and copper to 12 mm. The 9000 W and 12000 W levels add brass to 18 mm. Only 15000 W raises mild steel to 30 mm. Beyond those limits, the higher levels are a question of cutting speed, which the table does not state.
02
25 mm at 3000 W, 6000 W, 9000 W and 12000 W, and 30 mm at 15000 W. Mild steel is the one material where the lowest power level already reaches the common maximum, so thickness alone does not justify a larger source unless 30 mm plate is part of the work.
03
With the shuttle table the machine is 9810 mm long. It is 2860 mm wide and 2236 mm high. Weight depends on the source: 9100 kg at 3000 W, 9500 kg at 6000 W, 9600 kg at 9000 W and 9700 kg at 12000 W. Amada has not yet stated the weight of the 15000 W version.
04
Both have a 3070 x 1550 mm working range and a 920 kg table load. The ENSIS 3015 RIe adds a rotary index for tube and profile, lists a 200 mm Z range and is offered at 3000 W, 6000 W and 9000 W. The ENSIS 3015 AJe is the flat-sheet machine, with a 100 mm Z range and options up to 15000 W.
05
The ENSIS 4020 AJe is the larger-format machine with the same five power levels. At 3000 W the ENSIS 4020 AJe weighs 12200 kg and its table carries 1570 kg, where the ENSIS 3015 AJe weighs 9100 kg and carries 920 kg.
