Bodor’s sheet metal laser cutting systems are engineered to deliver stable cutting accuracy and efficient material use across a range of alloys and thicknesses. Rigid machine frames and enclosed structures minimize vibration, thermal distortion, and airborne particulates, while smart functions like gas pressure control, automatic nozzle exchange, and remnants layout reduce operator input and material waste.
In the domain of sheet metal laser cutting, Bodor offers a broad spectrum of machines designed to meet diverse industrial needs—from compact, enclosed units to ultra-large format systems capable of heavy plate work.
Key technological foundations across Bodor’s sheet metal laser portfolio include:
- Fiber laser sources supporting high precision and high efficiency in metal cutting (carbon steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, etc.)
- Smart automation and convenience features such as one-second edge finding, automatic nozzle changing, intelligent gas pressure control, and remnants layout tools.
- Safety and enclosure design to protect operators and control dust/particles during cutting operations.
- Scalable bed sizes and configuration options to match throughput, material mix, floor space, and cost constraints.
Below is a breakdown of Bodor’s main sheet cutting series. Contact us for more information about Bodor Fiber Lasers.
The Bodor P Series is designed for productivity-driven operations that demand high throughput, automation, and performance.
Key features & benefits:
- Bodor claims the P Series can boost single-sheet processing efficiency by 25% compared to peer products.
- The system promises extremely low idle movement latency—for example, the shortest time for a 1 m idle move is as little as 480 ms—allowing the laser head to reach cutting position almost instantly.
- Automated functions such as one-click cutting, automatic nozzle changer, automatic cleaning, and intelligent gas control reduce manual intervention and streamline workflow.
- Smart capabilities like Automatic Seam Compensation and scan cutting mode help maintain cutting quality and consistency across varying part geometries.
- The P Series is built to handle high reflectivity materials and supports remnants layout (re-using leftover material) to improve yield.
- Safety features include collision detection/avoidance and protective enclosures.

The Bodor C Series is aimed at buyers who want a solid, reliable enclosure-based sheet cutter with modern conveniences but at a more accessible cost point.
Key features & benefits:
- Fully protected housing ensures operator safety and helps control emissions/dust.
- Structural strength comes from a 3rd-generation mortise-and-tenon bed frame and a mineral cast anti-burn plate, which extend the lifespan and stability of the machine.
- The C Series supports smart cutting parameter auto-match, making it simpler to pick cutting settings based on geometry and material.
- It also offers remnants layout, simplifying reuse of scrap material.
- Dynamic performance: the C Series uses high performance bus servo motors and supports acceleration up to 1.5 G.
- Some models, especially C12, offer optional bevel cutting modes (A, V, Y, X, K types) to complete angled cuts in one operation.
The laser head includes intelligent collision avoidance via path algorithms and sensor feedback

The Bodor i Series is a compact, fully enclosed sheet cutting machine optimized for smaller floor space footprints, yet still offering many smart features.
Key features & benefits:
- It is designed with a fully enclosed frame, dust control, and safety integration—ideal for more constrained layouts.
- The i Series is termed a “medium and low power” platform, fitting customers who don’t require ultra-high power but still want automation and precision.
- Electric lift doors help save space, and a pull-type table design simplifies loading/unloading.
- It supports cutting across a broad material palette: carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized, aluminum/alloy, brass, with limited capability on copper.
- The machine achieves precision with nominal Z-axis travel of ±0.05 mm/m and positioning accuracy of ±0.03 mm.
- The i Series fits well in shops that prioritize safety, compactness, and repeatable quality within moderate throughput demands.

The Bodor H Series is tailored for large-format cutting, heavy plate work, and demanding applications where scale, rigidity, and optional bevel cutting are critical.
Key features & benefits:
- Modular frame design supports custom bed lengths exceeding 12 meters to handle oversized parts.
- The design employs an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy beam with a triangular honeycomb structure, which combines light weight, rigidity, and minimal deformation.
- Beam enclosures and dual safety curtains add protective layers to contain debris and ensure operator safety.
- A modular/independent worktable isolates the heat path, reducing thermal stress on the main frame.
- The H Series supports multi-bevel cutting in one operation (A, V, Y, X, K types), enabling slanted cuts without separate bevel machines.
- Compatibility with plasma/flame nesting workflows allows integration into mixed cutting environments.
- Overall, the H Series is ideal for fabrication shops, heavy machinery, structural steel, or any application where large parts or thick plates are routine.
