How much does the Yawei HLE-2560 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei HLE-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 HLE-2560 is the six-metre model of the HLE fiber laser series and the largest one sold in the lower power band: 3, 6 or 12 kW. Its cutting range is 6,100 x 2,545 mm (240.2 x 100.2 in).
That pairing, a long table with at most 12 kW, sets it apart from the HLF-2560, which offers 6, 12, 20 or 30 kW. The HLE is the sheet machine of the two. Its worktable is rated 3,500 kg (7,716 lb), and its Z stroke is 340 mm (13.4 in).
Why buy six metres for sheet? Because long parts such as lift panels, truck body sections and cladding do not fit a four-metre table, and because two three-metre sheets can lie end to end and be cut in one cycle. At 170 m/min the head crosses the table quickly enough for that to pay.
The X stroke is 6,120 mm (240.9 in) and the Y stroke 2,565 mm (101.0 in), with ±0.03 mm (±0.0012 in) positioning accuracy and ±0.02 mm (±0.0008 in) repositioning accuracy. Layout is 16,000 x 5,800 x 2,300 mm (629.9 x 228.3 x 90.6 in). Yawei describes a dual-drive gantry on a stress-relieved bed and an interface with an upgraded cutting parameter library. Above this size the HLE series changes to 12 kW and up, beginning with the HLE-2580.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
6,100 x 2,545 mm (240.2 x 100.2 in), with an X axis stroke of 6,120 mm (240.9 in), a Y axis stroke of 2,565 mm (101.0 in) and a Z axis stroke of 340 mm (13.4 in).
02
Laser generator power is 3, 6 or 12 kW. The longer HLE-2580 is listed with 12, 20, 30, 40, 60 or 80 kW, so 12 kW is the point where the two overlap.
03
The maximum load of the worktable is 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). The HLF-2560, a six-metre machine from the flagship series, lists 5,800 / 7,000 kg (12,787 / 15,432 lb).
04
X-Y maximum trajectory speed is 170 m/min. Positioning accuracy is ±0.03 mm (±0.0012 in) and repositioning accuracy is ±0.02 mm (±0.0008 in).
