The Cincinnati CL series fiber laser cutting machines represent American manufacturing excellence, combining robust construction with high-performance linear motor drive systems for demanding fabrication environments. As one of North America's most trusted machine tool manufacturers, Cincinnati delivers production-ready laser cutting capability with comprehensive support.
Available with nLight fiber laser sources from 4kW to 15kW, the CL series offers bed sizes from 5'×10' to 8'×20' with linear motor drives enabling rapid traverse speeds of 12,020 ipm and acceleration exceeding 2.3G. Positioning accuracy reaches ±0.001" across the entire cutting range. The Dynamic Power Control (DPC) system optimizes part quality and processing time automatically.
Key features include efficient dual-pallet configurations for continuous production, fiber optic beam delivery for reduced maintenance, and 22-inch high-resolution touchscreen controls. The CLX series adds dual 22-inch touchscreen monitors, four interior cameras, nLight 15kW Corona laser, predictive technology, and Beckhoff IoT integration for Industry 4.0 connectivity. The robust linear motor drive system provides enhanced productivity, performance, and accuracy with encoder resolution of 0.000006 inches. For American fabricators requiring proven reliability and domestic support, Cincinnati CL series delivers trusted production capability.
American-built fiber laser with Cincinnati's 125-year manufacturing heritage
The CL-960 leverages Cincinnati's deep US manufacturing roots and service infrastructure. For shops that value domestic support and parts availability, it's a compelling alternative to imports. The machine uses nLIGHT fiber sources (also US-made). Trade-off: higher price point than Chinese equivalents for similar specifications, justified by service network density across North America.
Best For: US-based fabricators requiring domestic manufacturing, strong local service, and Buy American Act compliance
