How much does the Cincinnati CI Fiber 3015 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Cincinnati CI Fiber 3015 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Cincinnati CI Fiber 3015 is the entry size of Cincinnati's rack-and-pinion fiber laser, built around a 3.0 m x 1.5 m table that Cincinnati also describes as 10 ft. x 5 ft. It is the quickest of the five CI Fiber table sizes, with a rapid travel speed of 8,250 ipm (209,550 mm/min), and it can be ordered with a 5 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW, 16 kW or 20 kW power source.
Accuracy is stated as ±0.002 in (±0.0508 mm) for positioning and 0.001 in (0.0254 mm) for repeatability. Those are the same figures the catalogue gives for every CI Fiber size, so the small table buys speed, not a tighter tolerance. Where a job needs more of both, the linear-drive CI FiberMax 3015 is listed at 12,020 ipm (305,308 mm/min) and ±0.001 in (±0.0254 mm) on the same sheet size.
This is also the most compact machine in the range. It stands 82 in (2,075 mm) high, where the CI Fiber 4020 and the larger sizes are 94 in (2,380 mm), and it is 130 in (3,290 mm) wide. The enclosure is 203 in (5,145 mm) long and the overall length with the pallet changer is 363 in (9,223 mm). Pallets load at 39 in (980 mm).
Standard equipment named by Cincinnati includes a hydraulic dual pallet changer, a dual-monitor Windows touchscreen control with nesting at the control, and integrated programming software. Assist gas is left open: high-pressure air, N2 generation and mixed gas systems are available. The catalogue's MARCH 400 note lists the 3015 among the sizes that automation system supports.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Fastest CI Fiber size: 8,250 ipm (209,550 mm/min) rapid travel, against 6,639 ipm (168,631 mm/min) on the CI Fiber 4020
- Seven power sources from 5 kW to 20 kW on the same frame
- Lowest machine in the range at 82 in (2,075 mm) high and 130 in (3,290 mm) wide
- Hydraulic dual pallet changer and nesting at the control are part of the listed equipment
- Named in the catalogue as a size the MARCH 400 automation system supports
Limitations
- Positioning accuracy is ±0.002 in (±0.0508 mm); the CI FiberMax 3015 is listed at ±0.001 in (±0.0254 mm)
- Rack and pinion drive, with rapids well below the 12,020 ipm (305,308 mm/min) of the CI FiberMax 3015
- The catalogue publishes no working-area travels or sheet weight limit for this model
- Assist gas equipment (HP air, N2 generation, mixed gas) is listed as available, so it has to be specified

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Rapid travel speed is 8,250 ipm (209,550 mm/min), the highest in the CI Fiber range. The CI Fiber 4020 is listed at 6,639 ipm (168,631 mm/min) and the CI Fiber 6020 at 4,921 ipm (124,993 mm/min). Positioning accuracy is ±0.002 in (±0.0508 mm) and repeatability 0.001 in (0.0254 mm).
02
Cincinnati lists 5 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW, 16 kW and 20 kW. Its own guidance is to match power to the application: thin material at high speeds at one end, thicker plate at the other. The dimension table is the same for all seven.
03
The drive and the figures that follow from it. The CI Fiber 3015 uses a rack and pinion drive and is listed at 8,250 ipm (209,550 mm/min) with ±0.002 in (±0.0508 mm) positioning accuracy. The CI FiberMax 3015 has a linear drive, 12,020 ipm (305,308 mm/min) and ±0.001 in (±0.0254 mm). The CI Fiber goes to 20 kW; the CI FiberMax 3015 list ends at 16 kW.
04
It is 130 in (3,290 mm) wide and 82 in (2,075 mm) high. The enclosure measures 203 in (5,145 mm) in length, and with the dual pallet changer the overall length is 363 in (9,223 mm). The pallet height is 39 in (980 mm).
