Practical Open Table Laser Cutting for Everyday Production
Open type fiber laser cutting machines use an open table structure where the cutting area is not enclosed, allowing direct loading and unloading from the front and sides. This design prioritizes accessibility and straightforward operation over enclosed configurations.
The open table layout is well suited to standard sheet metal jobs: cutting blanks, panels, brackets and profiles from common sheet sizes. It fits typical fabrication workflows where sheets are cut and then moved to bending, welding or assembly operations.
Open type machines offer a practical entry point into fiber laser cutting without the complexity or investment required for exchange tables or fully enclosed designs. You can still select table size and laser power to match your material, thickness and output needs.
Why Choose Open Type Laser Cutting
Easy Sheet Loading and Unloading
Open table structure provides clear access from the front and sides, making it easy to load and unload sheets manually or with simple handling equipment.
Clear Visibility of Cutting Area
Operators can see the cutting process directly without enclosed structures, simplifying monitoring and intervention when needed.
Practical for Standard Sheet Metal Work
Well matched to typical sheet metal jobs including blanks, panels, brackets and profiles from standard sheet sizes.
Cost-Effective Entry Point
Generally offers lower initial cost than exchange table or fully enclosed designs while delivering reliable fiber laser cutting performance.
Flexible Table Size Selection
Choose from 3015, 4020 or 6025 table sizes to match your typical sheet size and workspace constraints.
Simple Maintenance Access
Open structure allows easier access for routine maintenance, cleaning and consumable replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- An open type fiber laser cutting machine has an open table structure where the cutting area is not enclosed in a full cabin. Operators have clear access from the front and sides, making it easier to load and unload sheets. The laser head moves over the sheet on a gantry structure. This design prioritizes accessibility and straightforward operation.
- Open type machines offer easier sheet loading, clearer visibility of the cutting area, simpler maintenance access, and generally lower initial cost. They are well suited to workshops that value practical operation over high automation or continuous cutting capabilities.
- Table size should match your typical sheet size and maximum part dimensions. Consider your most common blank sizes and whether you need to handle larger sheets. 3015 is suitable for standard sheet sizes, 4020 for wider sheets, and 6025 for large-format plates.
- Laser power depends on your typical material thickness and desired cutting speed. 1-3kW is suitable for thin sheet cutting up to 6mm carbon steel. 6-12kW handles most fabrication work up to 16mm. 15-20kW is for heavy plate cutting up to 25-40mm carbon steel.
- Open type machines work well for medium-volume production with frequent sheet changes. For very high-volume continuous cutting, exchange table or enclosed machines with automation may be more suitable. Open type is a practical choice when flexibility and operation simplicity are priorities.
