Overview
The Prima Power Laser Genius+ is one of the fastest fiber laser cutting machines on the market, built around a rigid gantry architecture that delivers exceptional thermal stability and vibration damping at trajectory speeds up to 180 m/min. Available in three bed sizes — 1530, 2040, and 2060 — with fiber laser sources ranging from 2 kW to 15 kW, the Laser Genius+ covers everything from thin-gauge stainless and aluminum to 25 mm mild steel plate. The 1530 model offers axis strokes of 3,150 x 1,600 x 150 mm with a maximum workpiece weight of 1,150 kg, while the 2060 stretches to 6,320 x 2,200 mm and handles sheets up to 3,050 kg.
Prima Power has been building laser cutting systems in Turin, Italy since the 1970s, and the Laser Genius+ reflects decades of refinement. The gantry design uses compact, high-power-density motors and drives that minimize moving mass while maximizing acceleration. The proprietary fiber laser cutting head features adaptive optics with automatic focal position and beam diameter adjustment, plus a fast capacitive stand-off sensor for precise nozzle-to-sheet distance control. This translates to consistent cut quality across materials and thicknesses without manual intervention.
One of the strongest selling points is the plug-and-play installation concept. The laser generator, chillers, motors, and optics are all integrated into a single service module, which means the machine goes from delivery to production in roughly two days. That's significantly faster than competitors like the Trumpf TruLaser or Bystronic ByStar Fiber, which can take a week or more for full commissioning. For shops adding capacity on tight timelines, this matters.
The Laser Genius+ integrates seamlessly with Prima Power's automation ecosystem, including the Combo Tower Laser storage system and various loading/unloading solutions. The machine supports automatic gas changeover between nitrogen, oxygen, and compressed air. At the 6-10 kW power range, it competes directly with the Trumpf TruLaser 3000 fiber and Amada ENSIS-3015AJ, offering comparable cut speeds with a smaller footprint and faster installation. Shops running high-mix sheet metal fabrication will appreciate the fast setup changes and consistent edge quality across mixed materials.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 180 m/min trajectory speed makes it one of the fastest fiber laser cutters available, outpacing many Trumpf and Bystronic models in rapid positioning
- Plug-and-play installation takes roughly 2 days from delivery to production — a fraction of the 1-2 weeks typical of competitors
- Available in three bed sizes (1530, 2040, 2060) with laser power from 2-15 kW, covering nearly every sheet metal application
- Gantry architecture provides superior thermal stability and vibration damping compared to flying-optic designs
- Adaptive optics in the cutting head automatically adjust focal position and beam diameter, reducing manual setup between materials
- Seamless integration with Prima Power automation towers and loading/unloading systems for lights-out production
Limitations
- Prima Power's dealer network in North America is smaller than Trumpf or Amada, which can affect service response times in some regions
- Maximum 15 kW laser power trails the 20-24 kW options now available from Trumpf and Bystronic for ultra-thick cutting
- The proprietary control system has a learning curve for operators accustomed to Siemens or Fanuc-based laser controls
- Parts and consumables availability outside of Europe can lag behind Trumpf's established global supply chain
- Premium pricing at the higher power configurations puts it in direct competition with fully loaded Trumpf TruLaser systems

Frequently Asked Questions
01
With fiber laser power up to 15 kW, the Laser Genius+ cuts mild steel up to 25 mm, stainless steel up to 20 mm, aluminum up to 15 mm, brass and copper up to 8 mm. Cutting capacity varies by laser power — a 6 kW source handles most production work, while 10-15 kW is needed for thicker plate at production speeds.
02
Both are premium fiber laser cutters in the same market segment. The Laser Genius+ offers faster trajectory speeds (180 m/min vs ~140 m/min on the TruLaser) and a significantly faster installation timeline. The Trumpf has a larger global service network and offers higher laser power options up to 24 kW. Cut quality is comparable between the two at equivalent power levels.
03
Prima Power offers the Combo Tower Laser automated storage system, various sheet loading/unloading solutions, and part sorting systems. The machine integrates with Prima Power's TULUS Office software for production management. Full automation cells can run lights-out with minimal operator intervention.
04
The plug-and-play concept means the laser source, chillers, and all electronics arrive pre-integrated in a single module. On-site work involves positioning the machine, connecting power and assist gas, running calibration, and cutting test parts. Most competitors require 5-10 days for equivalent commissioning.
05
Operating costs depend heavily on laser power, material, and assist gas usage. A 6 kW system running nitrogen-assist typically costs $25-40/hour in electricity, gas, and consumables. The fiber laser source has an expected life of 100,000+ hours with minimal maintenance, which is a significant advantage over older CO2 systems.
