Can an H beam laser cutting machine replace plasma cutting?

What materials can an H beam laser cutting machine process?

The Intelligent H beam Laser Cutting Machine from YOMI CNC is designed for H-beam, I-beam, channel beam and other structural profiles. It handles carbon steel, stainless steel and alloy steel with equal ease, and can also be configured for 2D flat plate cutting when a dual-workstation layout is used.

Can it perform bevel cutting for weld preparation?

Yes. The machine supports ±45° bevel cutting on flanges and webs, including overlapping bevel forms. This makes it ideal for weld preparation, copes, notches and bolt holes in a single pass, eliminating secondary grinding or machining.

How accurate is H beam laser cutting compared to plasma?

The YOMI model delivers cutting length accuracy of 0.05 mm and repeated positioning within ±0.05 mm. Compared with plasma, laser cutting produces a burr-free edge, a much smaller heat-affected zone and significantly less cutting smoke, so secondary cleaning is rarely needed.

What software does the machine support?

It can directly import Tekla steel structure 3D modeling files and automatically nest parts, so no secondary drawing is required. The low-code operating interface is simple and intuitive, and software upgrades are provided free of charge.

What is the maximum profile size and thickness it can handle?

The standard model processes H-beams with flange width from 100 mm to 600 mm and workpiece height from 100 mm to 1250 mm. Cutting thickness ranges from 1 mm to 30 mm depending on the material and laser power configuration, with a maximum workpiece weight of 6000 kg.

Is the enclosed working environment necessary?

Yes. The fully enclosed cabin with European-level protective glass and a thickened sheet-metal guard achieves a high laser protection rating. This protects operators from laser radiation, contains fumes and keeps the workshop cleaner.

What maintenance does the laser cutting head need?

The Porad automatic focusing laser head continuously adjusts focus for different thicknesses and materials. Routine maintenance includes checking and replacing protective lenses, monitoring nozzle condition, verifying coolant flow for the water chiller and keeping the fume extraction filters clean.

How does the machine fit into an intelligent production line?

It comes with an automatic loading system: operators simply place beams on the conveyor and the machine feeds itself. It can also be connected to an MES system for full-link production tracking and logistics interconnection.
