Overview
The Han's Laser PC-Series 4020 is a large-format fiber laser cutting machine configured for processing oversized sheets at up to 4,000 x 2,000 mm — a format common in heavy plate fabrication, shipbuilding component production, agricultural equipment manufacturing, and structural steel processing where standard 3015 format sheets are not large enough. The PC-Series occupies Han's production-class segment, positioned above the entry-level platforms and designed for facilities running high daily tonnage through a single machine.
The 4020 format imposes distinct mechanical demands — a longer gantry span, heavier X-axis beam, and higher drive forces to maintain positioning accuracy at full travel. Han's addresses this with a reinforced welded steel frame, dual servo drives on the X axis for balanced gantry control, and precision linear guide rails throughout. Laser power options in the PC-Series 4020 range from 6,000 W to 20,000 W, with the higher power levels specifically targeted at cutting thick plate (30–50 mm steel) that represents the primary application driver for the large format.
Han's SmartCut intelligent parameter system is standard across the PC-Series, automatically configuring cutting speed, power, focus, and gas pressure for each material-thickness combination. The large cutting envelope requires precise sheet registration — the PC-Series includes an optical edge-finding system and sheet alignment correction to compensate for material positioning tolerance inherent in crane-loaded heavy plate operations. Fume extraction and slag drawer systems scale appropriately for the larger cutting area.
The PC-Series 4020 is targeted at steel service centers, heavy equipment OEMs, agricultural machinery manufacturers, and shipbuilding suppliers. Its large format eliminates the need for secondary positioning or multiple setups when cutting oversized structural components, and the Han's global service network provides support in most major industrial markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The 4020 format (4,000 x 2,000 mm) accommodates plate delivered in larger standard sizes common in heavy industry, including 4 x 8 foot and metric equivalents. For large structural components — agricultural chassis rails, ship frames, heavy equipment booms — the 4020 format allows single-setup cutting without repositioning, which improves dimensional accuracy and reduces cycle time compared to processing on a 3015 machine in multiple hits.
02
With the 20 kW laser configuration, the PC-Series 4020 is rated for mild steel up to 50 mm thick. Stainless steel capacity is up to 30 mm and aluminum up to 25 mm. At lower power levels (6–12 kW), maximum thicknesses are proportionally reduced. Most customers select 12–20 kW for heavy plate work.
03
Large format machines like the PC-4020 are typically loaded by overhead crane with magnetic or vacuum lifting fixtures. Han's includes optical sheet edge-finding and alignment correction in the control system to compensate for placement tolerances when craning heavy plate onto the cutting table, ensuring the program origin aligns with the actual material position before cutting begins.
