How much does the IPG Photonics YLR-10000 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 YLR-10000 is a 10,000 W (10 kW) continuous-wave ytterbium fiber laser source in a rack-mount form, intended for OEM integration into a machine enclosure. It is not a cutting machine in itself. IPG Photonics's current lineup does not include this designation, and the listed figures are unconfirmed.
Beam parameter product is listed as approximately 4–6 mm·mrad, delivered through a process fiber with a QBH connector and a 100–200 µm core. For an integrator those two rows decide which cutting heads are compatible and what spot size the optics can reach. Wavelength is ~1,070 nm.
The cutting thickness rows are guides, and the table says so: ~25 mm in mild steel with oxygen assist, ~20 mm in stainless and ~16 mm in aluminum with nitrogen assist, each marked machine-dependent. The head, the gas supply and the motion system of the host machine determine what is achieved in practice.
Wall-plug efficiency is listed as ~40–45%, so over half of the electrical input becomes heat. Cooling is by a water-cooled module, and design life is listed as 25,000+ hours.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 10,000 W (10 kW) of continuous-wave output from a rack-mount unit
- Beam parameter product of approximately 4–6 mm·mrad through a 100–200 µm core process fiber
- Listed thickness of ~25 mm in mild steel with oxygen assist, machine-dependent
- Wall-plug efficiency of ~40–45% and a listed design life of 25,000+ hours
Limitations
- A source for OEM integration: motion system, cutting head and enclosure come from the machine builder
- Cutting thickness figures are machine-dependent: ~20 mm stainless and ~16 mm aluminum assume nitrogen assist
- Water cooling is required; no chiller capacity is given in the listed figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. The form factor row reads rack-mount, for OEM integration into a machine enclosure. The listed figures cover the source: 10,000 W (10 kW) continuous wave, ~1,070 nm wavelength, a process fiber with QBH connector and a water-cooled module. Travels, table size and positioning data belong to whatever machine it is built into.
02
The listed figures are ~25 mm in mild steel with oxygen assist, and ~20 mm in stainless and ~16 mm in aluminum with nitrogen assist. Every one is marked machine-dependent, so the cutting head, gas supply and motion system of the host machine set the real limit.
03
The output fiber row lists a process fiber with a QBH connector and a 100–200 µm core. Beam parameter product is listed as approximately 4–6 mm·mrad. The core diameter fitted to a given unit should be confirmed, because it changes the spot size at the workpiece.
04
Wall-plug efficiency is listed as ~40–45% and design life as 25,000+ hours. Cooling is by a water-cooled module. The listed figures do not include supply voltage or chiller capacity, so installation data has to come from the unit's documentation.
