Compare 12 6KW laser welding systems from 11 manufacturers. View cutting thickness, speed benchmarks, and prices side-by-side. Pricing from $2,000 to $350,000.
The 6kW power class is the most contested segment in fiber laser cutting — and for good reason. 12 machines from 11 brands compete here because 6kW delivers the optimal balance: sufficient power for production-speed cutting up to 20mm mild steel, while maintaining energy efficiency that entry-level budgets can support.
Among these 12 systems, 6 countries of origin are represented. Work area configurations range from compact 3015 formats to large-format 3000mm platforms. Budget-oriented buyers have 4 options under $50K, primarily from Chinese manufacturers. Premium buyers can choose from 7 systems with advanced automation features.

A 6kW fiber laser typically cuts mild steel up to 28mm, stainless steel up to 20mm, and aluminum up to 16mm. At this power level, cutting speed on 5mm mild steel averages 20–35 m/min with nitrogen assist gas. For thinner materials (1–3mm), speeds can exceed 50 m/min. The actual maximum thickness depends on beam quality (BPP), cutting head optics, and assist gas pressure. At this power class, machines typically feature auto-focus cutting heads and high-pressure nitrogen systems for oxide-free edges.
We currently list 12 verified 6kW laser welding systems from manufacturers worldwide, including Chinese brands (HSG, Bodor, Senfeng), European premium brands (TRUMPF, Bystronic, Amada), and mid-tier options (Mazak, Eagle, Cincinnati). Each listing includes full specifications, cutting thickness data, work area dimensions, and price range estimates. Use our comparison table above to sort by brand, origin country, work area size, or price to find the best match for your production requirements and budget.
6kW fiber laser cutting systems range from approximately $50,000–$100,000 for Chinese-manufactured machines to $250,000–$500,000 for premium European brands like TRUMPF TruLaser or Bystronic ByStar. Price differences reflect laser source quality (IPG vs. Raycus), motion system precision (linear motors vs. ball screws), build quality, software capabilities, and after-sales service networks. Budget machines often use Raycus or MAX Photonics sources, while premium systems feature IPG or TRUMPF TruFiber sources with higher beam quality.
