How much does the Yawei HLB-1530 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei HLB-1530 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 HLB-1530 is the smallest HLB high-speed series fiber laser, a machine Yawei aims at medium-thin sheet. It cuts 3,050 x 1,525 mm (120.1 x 60.0 in) at up to 140 m/min with 3, 6 or 12 kW.
Despite the series name, the HLB lists the lowest trajectory speed of Yawei's enclosed sheet lasers; the HLE-1530 gives 170 m/min. What the HLB offers instead is a simpler package. Yawei describes a fully enclosed integrated design with a maintenance-free optical path, bus control, and a PC-compatible laser control system of its own.
The frame is lighter in its ratings. Worktable load is 900 kg (1,984 lb) and Z stroke is 240 mm (9.4 in), both under the HLE-1530 figures of 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) and 300 mm (11.8 in). Accuracy is the same on paper, ±0.03 mm (±0.0012 in) and ±0.02 mm (±0.0008 in).
It also needs less room: the layout is 8,700 x 4,000 x 2,300 mm (342.5 x 157.5 x 90.6 in). X and Y strokes are 3,070 mm (120.9 in) and 1,545 mm (60.8 in). For a shop cutting thin sheet for electrical boxes, appliance parts or curtain wall brackets, the low Z and light table are no handicap, and the smaller layout is a real saving.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Compact layout of 8,700 x 4,000 x 2,300 mm
- Fully enclosed integrated design with a maintenance-free optical path
- Bus control with a PC-compatible laser control system
- Laser power options of 3, 6 or 12 kW
- Positioning accuracy of ±0.03 mm (±0.0012 in)
Limitations
- Trajectory speed of 140 m/min is below the 170 m/min of the HLE-1530
- Worktable load of only 900 kg (1,984 lb)
- Z stroke of 240 mm (9.4 in)
- Aimed at medium-thin sheet, so not a plate machine even at 12 kW

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Yawei calls the HLB the cutting tool for medium-thin sheets. The cutting range is 3,050 x 1,525 mm (120.1 x 60.0 in), the worktable load 900 kg (1,984 lb) and the laser power 3, 6 or 12 kW.
02
The X-Y maximum trajectory speed is 140 m/min. The HLE-1530 lists 170 m/min and the HLX-1530 200 m/min for the same cutting range.
03
The machine layout dimension is 8,700 x 4,000 x 2,300 mm (342.5 x 157.5 x 90.6 in). The HLE-1530 needs 9,200 x 5,000 x 2,300 mm (362.2 x 196.9 x 90.6 in).
04
Yawei describes high-end bus control technology and a PC-compatible custom laser control system, with an operating interface and cutting parameter library. No control model is named.
