How much does the Bodor BCL-1530W cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc laser cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Bodor. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Bodor BCL-1530W is a flatbed fiber laser cutting machine with a 1500 x 3000 mm cutting area, listed with laser power from 1 kW to 12 kW. Bodor does not show this model in its current lineup, so it is most likely to turn up as a used machine. The listed figures on this page are not confirmed by the maker and should be checked against the nameplate and documents of the machine in front of you.
The power row covers seven steps: 1 kW, 2 kW, 3 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW and 12 kW. That spread matters more than anything else in the table, because every thickness figure is tied to the top option. At 12 kW the listed maximums are 20 mm in mild steel, 12 mm in stainless and 10 mm in aluminum. A machine fitted with a 1 kW or 2 kW source will not reach those thicknesses, and the table gives nothing for the lower powers, so the installed source is the first fact to establish about any example.
Motion is listed at a maximum feed rate of 140 m/min with ±0.05 mm positioning accuracy. The feed figure is a ceiling for the axes. Cutting speed on a real job depends on material, thickness and the power installed. The control is listed as Bodor BodorCut CNC.
At approximately 6,800 kg the machine needs a rigging plan and a floor that can take it. The table says nothing about a shuttle table, an enclosure, assist gas or the electrical supply, and each of those has to be confirmed on the individual machine.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Seven listed power options from 1 kW to 12 kW on the same 1500 x 3000 mm cutting area
- Listed maximum of 20 mm in mild steel with the 12 kW source
- Maximum feed rate listed at 140 m/min
- Positioning accuracy listed at ±0.05 mm
Limitations
- Not in Bodor's current lineup, and the listed figures are unconfirmed, so every machine has to be checked individually
- Thickness figures are given only for 12 kW; nothing is listed for the 1 kW to 10 kW options
- Stainless is listed at 12 mm and aluminum at 10 mm even at 12 kW, well under the 20 mm mild steel figure
- The 1500 x 3000 mm cutting area sets the largest sheet; longer or wider plate does not fit

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. Bodor does not show the BCL-1530W among its current machines, so it appears to be an older model. The listed figures here are not confirmed by the maker. Verify the laser power, the cutting area and the condition of the source on the machine itself before relying on any of them.
02
The power row lists seven options: 1 kW, 2 kW, 3 kW, 6 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW and 12 kW, all fiber. A given machine carries one of them, and the difference between the bottom and the top of that range is very large in practice, so read the source nameplate instead of assuming.
03
The listed maximums are 20 mm in mild steel, 12 mm in stainless and 10 mm in aluminum, and all three are for the 12 kW option. The table gives no thickness for 1 kW through 10 kW, so a lower-power machine has to be judged by a test cut or by its own cut chart.
04
The cutting area is 1500 x 3000 mm, which is the largest sheet the bed takes. Machine weight is listed at approximately 6,800 kg. The table does not give a footprint or electrical supply, so measure the machine and check its supply plate before arranging transport and installation.
