Our best estimate for a cnc laser cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Mitsubishi Electric. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Mitsubishi Electric eX-F is listed here as a flat-bed fiber laser cutting machine with a working area of 3,048 mm (120 in) by 1,524 mm (60 in) in its standard configuration and six laser powers to choose from, 4 kW at the bottom and 20 kW at the top. Mitsubishi Electric's current product pages do not show a model under this exact name, so read what follows as the listed figures for the machine and confirm them against the documentation of any unit you are offered.

The power choice decides what the machine is for. The options are 4 kW, 6 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW and 20 kW, and the thickness limits in the table belong to the top one only: 25 mm in mild steel, 20 mm in stainless and 20 mm in aluminum, all in the 20 kW configuration. Nothing is listed for the lower powers, so a 4 kW or 6 kW machine cannot be judged from this table. Table load is 900 kg (1,984 lb). Set that against the weight of a full-size plate at the thickest gauge you plan to cut, because the load limit may be reached before the thickness limit is.

X and Y are driven by linear motors, with positioning accuracy listed at ±0.03 mm and repeatability at ±0.015 mm. The control is given as MELFA SMART PLUS CNC with a touchscreen, and the function the table calls AI Assist Gas sets assist gas pressure and flow automatically. For the building, plan around 8,200 x 4,500 x 2,000 mm (323 x 177 x 78.7 in), the size listed for the 10 kW configuration, and a machine weight of 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Six listed laser power options, 4 kW, 6 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW and 20 kW, on one 3,048 x 1,524 mm (120 x 60 in) working area
Linear motor drives on X and Y, with listed positioning accuracy of ±0.03 mm and repeatability of ±0.015 mm
In the 20 kW configuration the listed capacity is 25 mm in mild steel and 20 mm in both stainless and aluminum
AI Assist Gas optimizes assist gas pressure and flow automatically, and the listed connectivity covers Ethernet and remote monitoring

Limitations

Thickness limits are listed for the 20 kW configuration only; the table gives none for the 4 kW, 6 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW or 15 kW machines
Table load is 900 kg (1,984 lb), so the heaviest full-size plates need checking before they go on the table
No rapid traverse or cutting feed rate appears in the listed figures, so cycle times cannot be estimated from this table
The 10 kW configuration is listed at 8,200 x 4,500 x 2,000 mm (323 x 177 x 78.7 in) and the machine at 12,000 kg (26,455 lb), a large installation to plan for

Best For

Sheet and plate cutting on 3,048 x 1,524 mm (120 x 60 in) stock Mild steel up to 25 mm in the 20 kW configuration Stainless and aluminum up to 20 mm in the 20 kW configuration Shops that want remote monitoring of the laser over Ethernet

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What laser powers is the eX-F listed with?

Six: 4 kW, 6 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW and 20 kW. The laser type is given as a fiber laser with a Mitsubishi Electric proprietary source. Only the 20 kW configuration has thickness limits in the listed figures, so ask for the cutting chart of the specific power you are considering.

02 How thick can the eX-F cut?

The listed figures give 25 mm in mild steel, 20 mm in stainless and 20 mm in aluminum, each for the 20 kW configuration. No limit is listed for any of the lower power options, and those should be expected to cut less than the 20 kW machine.

03 What sheet size and weight does the eX-F take?

The working area is 3,048 mm (120 in) in X and 1,524 mm (60 in) in Y in the standard configuration, and the maximum table load is 900 kg (1,984 lb). Work out the weight of your thickest full-size plate before assuming it can be loaded.

04 How much floor space does the eX-F need?

The listed machine dimensions are 8,200 x 4,500 x 2,000 mm (323 x 177 x 78.7 in) for the 10 kW configuration, with a machine weight of 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). Dimensions for the other power options are not listed, so get the layout drawing for the power you choose.
