How much does the Yawei HLA-2560 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei HLA-2560 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Yawei HLA-2560 is the largest HLA single-table laser in the low-power group: a 6,100 x 2,545 mm (240.2 x 100.2 in) cutting range with 3 or 6 kW. Above it, the HLA-2580 starts at 12 kW.
At this size the Z stroke increases to 170 mm (6.7 in), from 120 mm (4.7 in) on the HLA-2040, and trajectory speed remains 140 m/min. The worktable is rated 3,000 kg (6,614 lb).
Six metres of open table changes how the machine is used. Sheet can be laid at one end and cut while finished parts are cleared from the other, which recovers some of the time a single table loses. Long parts can be loaded by overhead crane without an enclosure in the way. Yawei's description of an open cutting area that makes loading and unloading easier is most relevant here.
The layout is 8,800 x 5,400 x 2,000 mm (346.5 x 212.6 x 78.7 in), a little over half the length of the enclosed HLB-2560. X stroke is 6,120 mm (240.9 in) and Y stroke 2,565 mm (101.0 in). The beam is aluminium alloy on a welded bed with dual drive. With 6 kW as the ceiling this is a sheet machine; anyone expecting to cut plate on a six-metre table should look at the HLE-2560 or the high-power HLA-2580.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Six-metre open table: 6,100 x 2,545 mm (240.2 x 100.2 in) cutting range
- Layout of only 8,800 x 5,400 x 2,000 mm
- Worktable load of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb)
- Z stroke of 170 mm (6.7 in), more than on the smaller HLA models
- Crane loading without an enclosure in the way
Limitations
- Laser power stops at 6 kW
- Single table without exchange
- Open cutting area, so laser protection is a matter for the site
- Positioning accuracy of ±0.03 mm is stated without a measuring length

Frequently Asked Questions
01
6,100 x 2,545 mm (240.2 x 100.2 in), with strokes of 6,120 mm (240.9 in) in X, 2,565 mm (101.0 in) in Y and 170 mm (6.7 in) in Z.
02
Its layout dimension is 8,800 x 5,400 x 2,000 mm (346.5 x 212.6 x 78.7 in). The enclosed HLB-2560 with the same cutting range is listed at 15,500 x 5,800 x 2,300 mm (610.2 x 228.3 x 90.6 in).
03
3 or 6 kW. The next model up, the HLA-2580, starts at 12 kW, so there is no HLA of this length between 6 kW and 12 kW.
04
The maximum load of the worktable is 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), the same figure as on the enclosed HLB-2560. The HLA-2040 is rated 1,500 kg (3,307 lb).
