How much does the Yawei HLB-2040 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei HLB-2040 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
For four-metre sheet in thin and medium gauges, Yawei's HLB series offers the Yawei HLB-2040: a 4,065 x 2,035 mm (160.0 x 80.1 in) cutting range, 3, 6 or 12 kW, and a maximum trajectory speed of 140 m/min.
The HLB is the plainest of Yawei's enclosed lasers, and this model's ratings show it. The worktable takes 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). The Z stroke is 240 mm (9.4 in). The HLE-2040, with the same cutting range and power list, is rated 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) and 300 mm (11.8 in).
Layout is where the HLB gains. It occupies 11,000 x 5,000 x 2,300 mm (433.1 x 196.9 x 90.6 in), narrower and a little shorter than the HLE-2040. In a building where the laser has to fit between existing machines, that can decide the purchase.
Yawei credits the series with very low operating cost, citing the fully enclosed integrated design and an optical path that needs no maintenance. Control is by bus technology with a PC-compatible laser control system. The strokes are 4,085 mm (160.8 in) and 2,055 mm (80.9 in), and accuracy is ±0.03 mm (±0.0012 in) with ±0.02 mm (±0.0008 in) repositioning. Applications listed include the metal curtain wall and new energy industries.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,065 x 2,035 mm (160.0 x 80.1 in) cutting range in a 11,000 x 5,000 x 2,300 mm layout
- Laser power of 3, 6 or 12 kW
- Maintenance-free optical path in an enclosed integrated design
- Repositioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm (±0.0008 in)
- Operating interface with a cutting parameter library
Limitations
- Worktable load of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) against 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) on the HLE-2040
- Z stroke of 240 mm (9.4 in), the lowest of Yawei's four-metre exchange machines
- 140 m/min, slower than the HLE-2040 and HLX-2040
- Operating cost claims come without consumption figures

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Cutting range 4,065 x 2,035 mm (160.0 x 80.1 in), trajectory speed 140 m/min, laser power 3, 6 or 12 kW, worktable load 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) and Z axis stroke 240 mm (9.4 in).
02
They share the cutting range and the power list. The HLE-2040 is rated 170 m/min, 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) and 300 mm (11.8 in) of Z. The HLB-2040 is rated 140 m/min, 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) and 240 mm (9.4 in), and has the smaller layout.
03
The machine layout dimension is 11,000 x 5,000 x 2,300 mm (433.1 x 196.9 x 90.6 in). X axis stroke is 4,085 mm (160.8 in) and Y axis stroke is 2,055 mm (80.9 in).
04
Electrical, home appliance, lift, metal curtain wall and new energy. All are thin-sheet applications, which fits the maker's description of the HLB as a machine for medium-thin sheet.
