Overview
The Bodor P-Series 3015 is a mid-range fiber laser cutting machine designed for job shops and sheet metal fabricators processing standard 3,000 x 1,500 mm sheet formats. It targets the volume of the market where reliability, cutting speed, and moderate purchase price need to be balanced — and Bodor has positioned this platform as a high-value alternative to Western European machines at a significantly lower entry cost.
Available with fiber laser sources ranging from 1,500 W to 6,000 W, the P-Series 3015 handles mild steel up to 20 mm, stainless steel up to 12 mm, and aluminum up to 10 mm at mid-power configurations, with the 6 kW variant extending capability into thicker sections for structural and heavy-gauge work. The machine uses a gantry-style cutting head on a welded steel frame, with linear guide rails and rack-and-pinion drive on X and Y providing positioning speeds up to 100 m/min.
Bodor equips the P-Series with its proprietary BCL controller, which supports automatic focus adjustment, a perforation detection system, and an edge-finding routine for misaligned or remnant sheets. The cutting head incorporates a capacitive height sensing system that dynamically adjusts focal height to sheet surface variation, maintaining cut quality on warped or uneven material without operator intervention.
The machine is well-suited for small and medium-sized job shops, HVAC component manufacturers, electrical enclosure fabricators, and general metalworking operations seeking to bring laser cutting capability in-house without the capital outlay of premium European machines. Optional automatic nozzle changers, pallet changers, and tube-cutting attachments are available to extend productivity.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Significantly lower purchase price than comparable European fiber laser platforms
- Wide laser power range (1.5–6 kW) in the same frame accommodates diverse material portfolios
- Automatic height sensing maintains cut quality on warped or uneven sheets
- Pallet changer and tube-cutting options add flexibility without a dedicated second machine
- BCL controller provides edge-finding and perforation detection standard
Limitations
- Parts and service network outside China thinner than Trumpf, Bystronic, or Mazak
- Resale value lower than premium European brands in Western markets
- BCL controller software ecosystem less mature than Fanuc or Siemens-based competitors

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bodor offers both IPG Photonics and Raycus fiber laser sources depending on the power level and customer preference. IPG is the global standard and generally preferred for demanding production environments; Raycus is a Chinese-made alternative that reduces upfront cost. Both are available in the P-Series platform.
02
Yes — fiber lasers are well-suited for cutting highly reflective metals like brass and copper, unlike CO2 lasers. The P-Series 3015 with a 3 kW or higher source can cut copper up to 4–6 mm and brass up to 6–8 mm, depending on assist gas and process parameters.
03
Yes. Bodor offers an optional automatic pallet changer (APC) for the P-Series that allows one pallet to be loaded/unloaded while the machine cuts on the other, minimizing idle time between sheets. This is a common upgrade for shops running higher daily part volumes.
