How much does the Peddinghaus FPB 1500/1 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc plasma cutting in this class — not a quote from Peddinghaus. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Peddinghaus FPB 1500/1 is listed as a CNC plasma cutting system for structural steel, with a cutting area that takes beam heights up to 1,500 mm and a positioning speed of up to 15,000 mm/min. The model does not appear on Peddinghaus's current pages. The listed figures here are unconfirmed against the maker, and several of them are ranges that depend on how a machine was configured.
The range of stock is broad: wide flange beams, channels, angles, HSS and plates are all listed as processed sections. Cutting capacity is up to 100 mm, but the table qualifies that as plasma source dependent, and the plasma power source row names compatible third-party units instead of one fixed supply. The thickness a given FPB 1500/1 will cut is therefore set by the source fitted to it, not by the frame.
Speed is stated the same way. Cutting speed is material and thickness dependent, with up to 3,000 mm/min quoted on structural sections, against the 15,000 mm/min at which the torch repositions. Positioning is five times faster than the fastest listed cut, so on parts with many short cuts the moves between them take a small share of the cycle.
There is no fixed table size. The conveyor length is customer-configured, typically 12–18 m, and machine weight follows it at approximately 12,000–18,000 kg depending on installation. Control is the Peddinghaus FPCONTROL CNC with direct import from Tekla Structures, Advance Steel and SDS/2. A scribing unit, a center-punch unit and a material conveyor are listed as optional accessories.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Processes wide flange beams, channels, angles, HSS and plates on one machine
- Cutting area listed for beam heights up to 1,500 mm
- Positioning speed up to 15,000 mm/min, with cutting up to 3,000 mm/min on structural sections
- Peddinghaus FPCONTROL CNC with direct import from Tekla Structures, Advance Steel and SDS/2
- Conveyor length is customer-configured, typically 12–18 m
Limitations
- The 100 mm maximum cutting thickness is plasma source dependent, so it is not a property of every machine
- Scribing unit, center-punch unit and material conveyor are optional accessories
- The table lists no drilling spindle, so holes would be plasma cut or made elsewhere
- Weight of approximately 12,000–18,000 kg and the conveyor length both vary by installation, so the listed figures cannot size a foundation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed maximum cutting thickness is up to 100 mm, qualified as plasma source dependent. The plasma power source is not fixed in the table, which names compatible third-party units, so the real limit of a given machine is the rating of the source installed on it.
02
Cutting speed is listed as material and thickness dependent, up to 3,000 mm/min on structural sections. Positioning between cuts is listed at up to 15,000 mm/min. Neither figure is tied to a specific thickness, so expect slower cutting as sections get heavier.
03
The processed sections row lists wide flange beams, channels, angles, HSS and plates, with a cutting area for beam heights up to 1,500 mm. Flange width, plate width and maximum section weight are not listed.
04
Length is not fixed: the table describes a customer-configured conveyor, typically 12–18 m. Machine weight is listed as approximately 12,000–18,000 kg and is installation dependent. Both need to be pinned down for the specific machine before floor space and foundations are planned.
05
No. The model is not shown on Peddinghaus's current pages, and the listed figures on this page have not been checked against the maker. Use them as a guide to what to ask for, and take capacities from the nameplate, the fitted plasma source and the documentation of the machine itself.
