How much does the IPG Photonics YLP-HP High-Power Laser Processing System cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc laser cutting machine in this class — not a quote from IPG Photonics. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The IPG Photonics YLP-HP High-Power Laser Processing System is listed as a continuous-wave ytterbium fiber laser system with laser power from 10 kW to 100+ kW, configured to the application. It is not in IPG Photonics's current lineup, and the listed figures are unconfirmed. Most rows are open-ended or application-configured, so they frame the class of system without specifying one.
Cutting thickness is where the table is most concrete. It lists 50+ mm in mild steel, 40+ mm in stainless and 30+ mm in aluminum, each marked as application and power dependent. Nothing in the table says which power level those belong to or what the 10 kW entry point achieves, so thickness claims for a particular installation need its own cutting data.
Beam quality is not given as a number. The row says it is application-configured, from high-brightness to large-mode-area, which means the beam parameter product is chosen with the process and has to be asked for. Wavelength is listed as ~1,070 nm.
On the utilities side, wall-plug efficiency is listed as ~40–45% and cooling as high-capacity water-cooled modules with industrial chiller integration. At the powers involved, the electrical supply and the chiller are major items in the installation. The design life row gives 25,000+ hours for the source modules.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Laser power listed from 10 kW to 100+ kW, configured to the application
- Listed cutting thickness of 50+ mm in mild steel, 40+ mm in stainless and 30+ mm in aluminum (application and power dependent)
- Wall-plug efficiency listed as ~40–45%
- Design life listed as 25,000+ hours for the source modules
Limitations
- Beam quality has no figure: the row says only application-configured, from high-brightness to large-mode-area
- Thickness figures are application and power dependent, and none is tied to a stated power level
- Needs high-capacity water cooling with an industrial chiller
- No cutting area, axis speed or accuracy appears in the listed figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures are 50+ mm in mild steel, 40+ mm in stainless and 30+ mm in aluminum. All three are marked application and power dependent, and the table does not say which power level they belong to, so treat them as the upper range of the family and not as a figure for every configuration.
02
Laser power is listed as 10 kW to 100+ kW and described as application-configured. The laser type row reads Ytterbium Fiber (CW, High-Power), with a wavelength of ~1,070 nm. The power of a specific system has to be taken from its own documentation.
03
No number is listed. The beam quality row says application-configured, ranging from high-brightness to large-mode-area. Anyone comparing systems needs the beam parameter product for the configuration on offer, because the achievable spot size depends on it.
04
Cooling is listed as high-capacity water-cooled modules with industrial chiller integration, and wall-plug efficiency as ~40–45%. No supply voltage, current or chiller capacity is in the listed figures, so those must come from the installation data for the configured power.
