How much does the Yawei HLE-2580 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei HLE-2580 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
From the Yawei HLE-2580 upward, the HLE series is a high-power plate line. This model cuts 8,100 x 2,545 mm (318.9 x 100.2 in) and is listed with 12, 20, 30, 40, 60 or 80 kW, the lowest option being 12 kW.
The frame reflects the change. Z stroke rises to 430 mm (16.9 in), against 340 mm (13.4 in) on the HLE-2560, and the worktable load is printed as two figures, 6,250 / 9,400 kg (13,779 / 20,723 lb). Yawei does not explain the pair. Trajectory speed is held at 170 m/min.
The nearest flagship model is the HLF-2580. The HLF-2580 has a cutting range of 8,000 x 2,500 mm (315.0 x 98.4 in), 200 m/min and a 340 mm (13.4 in) Z stroke, with the same power list. The HLE-2580 offers slightly more table in both directions and more Z, at a lower trajectory speed. On thick plate, where cutting speed is set by the material and not by the axes, that speed difference seldom shows.
Strokes are 8,120 mm (319.7 in) in X and 2,565 mm (101.0 in) in Y. Positioning accuracy is ±0.03 mm (±0.0012 in). The layout takes 20,500 x 5,800 x 2,300 mm (807.1 x 228.3 x 90.6 in). The maker's text for the series stresses a stress-relieved, high-rigidity bed with gantry dual drive, which is the part of the specification that keeps a long machine accurate under heavy plate.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Power options from 12 kW to 80 kW
- 8,100 x 2,545 mm (318.9 x 100.2 in) cutting range
- Z stroke of 430 mm (16.9 in), above the 340 mm (13.4 in) of the HLF-2580
- Worktable load listed at 6,250 / 9,400 kg (13,779 / 20,723 lb)
- Gantry dual-drive on a high-rigidity annealed bed
Limitations
- Trajectory speed of 170 m/min against 200 m/min on the HLF-2580
- Layout dimension of 20,500 x 5,800 x 2,300 mm
- The two worktable load values are not explained
- No laser option below 12 kW, so it is not a thin-sheet machine

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Laser generator power is listed as 12, 20, 30, 40, 60 or 80 kW. The six-metre HLE-2560 below it is limited to 3, 6 or 12 kW.
02
Cutting range is 8,100 x 2,545 mm (318.9 x 100.2 in). The layout dimension is 20,500 x 5,800 x 2,300 mm (807.1 x 228.3 x 90.6 in), and the strokes are 8,120 mm (319.7 in), 2,565 mm (101.0 in) and 430 mm (16.9 in).
03
The power list is the same. The HLF-2580 lists 200 m/min and a 340 mm (13.4 in) Z stroke; the HLE-2580 lists 170 m/min and 430 mm (16.9 in). Table loads are close: 6,250 / 9,400 kg (13,779 / 20,723 lb) here.
04
The table prints 6,250 / 9,400 kg (13,779 / 20,723 lb). Which value applies depends on something the page does not state, so have Yawei confirm it for the machine quoted.
