How much does the Bodor P 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 P Series is a flatbed fiber laser cutting machine listed with a 3000 x 1500 mm standard working area and laser power from 3 kW to 30 kW. The listed figures on this page have not been checked against a Bodor document, so use them to frame the discussion with a supplier and confirm each one for the configuration on offer.
Seven power levels appear in the table: 3 kW, 6 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW, 20 kW or 30 kW. The thickness rows apply to the top of that range. In the 30 kW configuration the listed maximums are 35 mm for mild steel, 25 mm for stainless and 20 mm for aluminum. Copper and brass are each listed at 8 mm, with no power level attached. Nothing in the table says what a 3 kW or 6 kW machine will cut.
Sheet handling comes down to two rows. The standard bed is 3000 x 1500 mm, with larger formats listed as available, and the maximum sheet weight is 920 kg in the 3015 format. Axis speed is listed at up to 140 m/min, positioning accuracy at ±0.05 mm and repeatability at ±0.03 mm.
The build is not tied to one component supplier. The laser source row names Raycus, Max Photonics or IPG Photonics depending on configuration, and the cutting head row names PRECITEC or Raytools. The control is described as a Bodor proprietary CNC with BodorCut software. Ask which source and which head a particular machine carries.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Seven listed power levels from 3 kW to 30 kW
- Listed maximums of 35 mm mild steel, 25 mm stainless and 20 mm aluminum in the 30 kW configuration
- Copper and brass are both listed at 8 mm
- Axis speed listed at up to 140 m/min, with ±0.05 mm positioning accuracy and ±0.03 mm repeatability
- Maximum sheet weight of 920 kg in the 3015 format
Limitations
- The listed figures have not been confirmed against a Bodor document
- Thickness figures are tied to the 30 kW configuration; none are given for 3 kW through 20 kW
- Laser source and cutting head vary by configuration, so two machines with the same name can differ
- No machine weight, footprint or electrical supply is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Seven: 3 kW, 6 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW, 20 kW or 30 kW, all fiber. The source is listed as Raycus, Max Photonics or IPG Photonics depending on configuration, so power and source brand should be confirmed together.
02
The listed maximums for the 30 kW configuration are 35 mm in mild steel, 25 mm in stainless and 20 mm in aluminum. Copper and brass are each listed at 8 mm. No thickness is listed for the lower power levels.
03
The standard working area is 3000 x 1500 mm, and larger formats are listed as available. Maximum sheet weight is 920 kg in the 3015 format. The table gives no weight limit for the larger formats.
04
The cutting head is listed as PRECITEC or Raytools, and the control as a Bodor proprietary CNC with BodorCut software. Because the head is a choice between two makes, check which one is fitted to the machine being considered.
