How much does the Bodor I Series 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 I Series is a pair of sheet laser cutting machines, the i7 and the i5, that share one motion system and differ in bed size. The i7 has a 3048*1524mm working area and the i5 a 1000*1500mm one. Both are rated at 100m/min maximum linkage speed and 1.5G maximum acceleration, with ±0.05mm/m positioning accuracy and ±0.03mm repositioning accuracy.
Choosing between the two is mostly a question of sheet size and floor space. The i7 carries up to 900kg on the table and has 120mm of Z travel. It weighs 4980kg, and Bodor gives its footprint as 4955×2320×2200. The i5 is the small-format machine: 250kg table load, 100mm of Z travel, 2000kg machine weight and a 2980×2220×1970 footprint. The footprint row carries no unit, so confirm the dimensions and their orientation on the layout drawing before planning the cell.
Table load deserves a second look. The 900kg rating of the i7 is 3.6 times the 250kg of the i5, and on either machine it is the table, not only the laser, that decides how thick a full sheet can be loaded. Work out the weight of the heaviest sheet you run before picking a size.
Common to both are the Bodor Genius laser head, a mortise-and-tenon type plate welded segmented bed, the BodorThinker control with a display of 21.5 inches, and dust removal by centrifugal fan. Bodor's table for the series states neither laser power nor cutting thickness, so those come from the configuration being specified.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Two bed sizes on one platform: 3048*1524mm on the i7 and 1000*1500mm on the i5
- 100m/min maximum linkage speed and 1.5G maximum acceleration on both sizes
- ±0.05mm/m positioning accuracy with ±0.03mm repositioning accuracy
- The i7 table carries 900kg, 3.6 times the 250kg of the i5
- BodorThinker control, a 21.5 inches display and the Bodor Genius laser head on both machines
Limitations
- The i5 working area is 1000*1500mm, so a 3048*1524mm sheet has to be cut down before it goes on
- Z travel is 120mm on the i7 and 100mm on the i5, which restricts formed or raised workpieces
- The table states no laser power and no cutting thickness for the series
- The i7 weighs 4980kg, so it needs rigging and a suitable floor

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bed size, load and weight. The i7 has a 3048*1524mm working area, a 900kg table load, 120mm of Z travel and weighs 4980kg. The i5 has a 1000*1500mm working area, a 250kg table load, 100mm of Z travel and weighs 2000kg. Speed, acceleration, accuracy, laser head and control are the same on both.
02
Bodor rates both machines at 100m/min maximum linkage speed and 1.5G maximum acceleration. Those are axis limits. The cutting speed on a job depends on material, thickness and laser power, none of which the series table states.
03
Positioning accuracy is ±0.05mm/m and repositioning accuracy is ±0.03mm, the same for the i7 and the i5. The positioning figure is given per metre, so the tolerance over a long part on the i7 bed scales with the distance travelled.
04
Both machines run the BodorThinker control with a 21.5 inches display and carry the Bodor Genius laser head. The bed is a mortise-and-tenon type plate welded segmented bed, and dust is removed by a centrifugal fan.
05
Bodor gives the footprint as 4955×2320×2200 for the i7 and 2980×2220×1970 for the i5, without a unit in the table. Machine weight is 4980kg and 2000kg respectively. Allow extra room around the footprint for loading sheet and for service access.
