Overview
The Prima Power Platino Fiber is a production-class fiber laser cutting machine from Prima Power, the Italian machine tool and sheet metal processing specialist and a division of Prima Industrie. Prima Power has been building laser cutting systems since the late 1980s and has brought that heritage of Italian engineering — characterized by high mechanical stiffness, thermal stability, and attention to dynamics — into the fiber laser era with the Platino platform.
The Platino Fiber 3015 processes sheets up to 3,000 x 1,500 mm with fiber laser power available from 2,000 W to 10,000 W. The machine's distinguishing mechanical characteristic is its monolithic bridge structure — a single-piece cast or welded gantry — which Prima Power engineers for higher natural frequency and lower vibration compared to assembled multi-piece gantry designs. This structural approach supports high-speed, high-acceleration motion profiles without the resonance that can degrade cut quality at maximum traverse speeds. Positioning speed reaches 140 m/min with linear motor drive on X and Y.
Prima Power integrates its Laser Genius cutting head with automatic focus, automatic nozzle change, and collimator adjustment, enabling the machine to switch between thin-sheet processing (small spot, high speed) and thick-plate cutting (larger spot, more power) without the operator manually exchanging optics. The Osai-based control system, which Prima Power develops in partnership with its sister company Osai Automation System, provides full integration between the laser source, motion system, and process monitoring — a level of vertical integration uncommon among Western European machine builders who typically use third-party controls.
Prima Power's Platino Fiber is well-positioned for automotive part suppliers, precision sheet metal fabricators, and industrial OEMs operating in Europe where Italian machine quality, EU service infrastructure, and the ability to source Prima Power's compact automation cells (Compact Express, Night Train FMS) provide a full-system sheet metal processing ecosystem from a single vendor.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Monolithic bridge structure provides superior vibration damping and cut quality at high speeds
- Laser Genius head with automatic collimator adjustment eliminates manual optics changes between material types
- Vertically integrated Osai control system — Prima Power and Osai are sister companies under Prima Industrie
- Full automation ecosystem (Compact Express, Night Train FMS) from the same vendor
- Italian engineering heritage with strong European service network
Limitations
- Premium European pricing above Asian competitors with comparable cutting specs
- North American service network smaller than Trumpf, Bystronic, or Mazak
- Osai control system less recognized than Fanuc or Siemens-based alternatives in North America

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The monolithic bridge gantry is a single-piece structural element spanning the full X-axis width of the machine, rather than an assembled multi-piece gantry. By eliminating bolted joints and assembly interfaces from the primary structural loop, Prima Power reduces the sources of compliance and vibration in the gantry. The result is a higher natural frequency — meaning the structure resonates at a higher frequency than the motion system's cutting frequencies — which allows higher accelerations and speeds without introducing vibration artifacts into the cut edge.
02
The Laser Genius is Prima Power's smart cutting head for the Platino Fiber, incorporating automatic focus positioning, nozzle calibration, and a variable collimator that adjusts the beam divergence entering the focusing lens. Changing the collimator setting changes the effective focal length and spot size at the work surface — allowing the same cutting head to optimize for thin sheet (small spot, high speed) or thick plate (larger spot, more power density in deep kerf) without the operator manually exchanging optics or lens assemblies. This is a significant productivity advantage in mixed-thickness production.
03
Prima Power offers several automation systems compatible with the Platino Fiber. The Compact Express is a compact pallet changer with integrated material storage for unmanned or lights-out operation. The Night Train FMS is Prima Power's full flexible manufacturing system, connecting multiple machines with a tower storage and automated material routing system. Because Prima Power manufactures both the laser machines and the automation systems, the integration is tighter and the single-vendor relationship simplifies support.
