How much does the Cincinnati CI FiberMax 3015 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Cincinnati CI FiberMax 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 FiberMax 3015 is the smaller of the two table sizes of Cincinnati's linear-drive fiber laser: a 3.0 m x 1.5 m dual-pallet machine with a working area of 121 in (3,073 mm) in X and 61 in (1,549 mm) in Y, offered with power sources of 5 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW or 16 kW. Simultaneous speed is listed at 12,020 ipm (305,308 mm/min). Positioning accuracy and repeatability are both ±0.001 in (±0.0254 mm).
The sheet it carries is limited by weight as well as by area. Work piece weight is 2,292 lb (1,040 kg) on this size, against 3,500 lb (1,588 kg) on the CI FiberMax 4020, so full sheets of thick plate should be checked against that figure and not against laser power alone. Z travel is 3.5 in (89 mm). That is enough for flat sheet and plate, and nothing more.
Cincinnati's feature list puts the pallet changer first. The dual pallet exchange takes 11 seconds and both pallets sit at the same cut height, so nothing is recalibrated between them. An automatic nozzle changer swaps and cleans nozzles according to the nesting program, and the Fibercut 2DX head has autofocus plus internal sensors for humidity, pressure and optic cleanliness.
Floor space is the reason to pick this size. The machine is 144 in (3,658 mm) wide and 97 in (2,464 mm) high, the enclosure is 232 in (5,893 mm) long, and the overall length with the pallet station is 390 in (9,906 mm). Plan the exhaust as well: Cincinnati calls for a 3000 CFM collector on 12 in ducting, and the machine can draw from the left or the right side. CI Cut comes with the machine; CI Connect and CI Nest are optional add-ons.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Linear drive motion system with a listed simultaneous speed of 12,020 ipm (305,308 mm/min)
- Positioning accuracy of ±0.001 in (±0.0254 mm), with repeatability at the same figure
- Dual pallet exchange in 11 seconds, with both pallets held at the same cut height
- Automatic nozzle changer and a Fibercut 2DX head with autofocus and condition sensors
- Six power sources from 5 kW to 16 kW on one set of machine dimensions
Limitations
- Work piece weight is 2,292 lb (1,040 kg); the CI FiberMax 4020 carries 3,500 lb (1,588 kg)
- A Y working area of 61 in (1,549 mm) rules out the 2.0 m wide sheet that the CI FiberMax 4020 takes
- Z travel is 3.5 in (89 mm), so the work is flat sheet and plate only
- The power list stops at 16 kW, while the rack-and-pinion CI Fiber 3015 is offered up to 20 kW

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The working area is 121 in (3,073 mm) in X, 61 in (1,549 mm) in Y and 3.5 in (89 mm) in Z, on the 3015 (3.0 m x 1.5 m) table. The larger CI FiberMax 4020 has 158 in (4,013 mm) of X and 78 in (1,981 mm) of Y with the same Z.
02
Cincinnati lists power sources of 5 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW and 16 kW. The catalogue gives a single set of machine dimensions for all six, so choosing more power does not change the floor plan of the machine itself.
03
Simultaneous speed is 12,020 ipm (305,308 mm/min). Positioning accuracy is ±0.001 in (±0.0254 mm) and repeatability is the same. The dual pallet exchange takes 11 seconds, and because both pallets keep the same cut height there is no recalibration after a swap.
04
The machine is 144 in (3,658 mm) wide and 97 in (2,464 mm) high. The enclosure is 232 in (5,893 mm) long and the overall length including the pallet station is 390 in (9,906 mm). The pallets sit at 39 in (991 mm). Add room for a 3000 CFM dust collector and its 12 in duct.
05
Yes. Cincinnati states that it integrates directly with the MARCH 400 automation system, and a Ball Transfer load station can be added for moving material by hand. The automatic nozzle changer works from the nesting program, which is what lets a run continue across different materials without an operator at the head.
