Nukon Lasers introduces quality entry-level fibre laser cutter

The Nukon NEO is a quality entry-level fibre laser cutting machine designed to give fabricators professional performance without compromising on the fundamentals.

The NEO shares its DNA with the popular Nukon ECO, a machine that has earned an excellent reputation with fabricators for its reliability, cut quality and robust engineering. It brings that same proven design philosophy to a wider range of customers, giving businesses stepping into fibre laser cutting, or expanding their capacity, a machine they can depend on from day one.

Legendary Nukon build quality

Nukon is known for building machines that are made to last, and the NEO is no exception. Weighing in at around twice the weight of many machines in its class, the NEO is built on a substantial, rigid structure.

Why does weight matter? Mass and rigidity are what allow a laser cutting machine to accelerate and decelerate rapidly while keeping the cutting head exactly where it should be. A solid machine structure:

  • Dampens vibration for cleaner edges and consistent part accuracy
  • Maintains precision on fine features, small holes and tight contours
  • Supports high dynamics without compromising stability
  • Keeps the machine performing reliably over many years of production

This is engineering may not be seen on a specification sheet, but it will be seen in every part you cut.

Power and laser source: your choice

The NEO is available with a choice of power options up to 12 kW, so the machine can be matched precisely to the materials and thicknesses requiring cutting today, with room to grow tomorrow.

Customers can also choose between single module and multi module laser sources. Each design has its own strengths in beam characteristics, application suitability and investment level, and the Nukon team will help identify which is best suited to cutting requirements.

The NEO also offers a choice of laser source manufacturer:

  • IPG
  • Raycus
  • MAX

All three are well-established names in fibre laser technology. Offering this choice means each NEO can be configured around performance, service and budget preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all specification.

Control system and cutting head

The same flexible approach extends to the heart of the machine.

Control system – The NEO is available with either a Beckhoff or Lynca control system. Beckhoff brings industrial PC-based control with a strong pedigree in automation, while Lynca offers a dedicated laser cutting control platform.

Both deliver dependable performance.

Cutting head – Customers can choose Nukon’s own incredibly stable NLCH cutting head or the OSPRI GM08B head. Each is designed to deliver excellent cut quality, efficient piercing and well-protected optics, giving confidence in consistent results shift after shift.

Something to suit every budget and application

At Nukon, the starting point is always the customer’s requirement. and the NEO is configured around customer needs.

By combining choices of power, source type, source manufacturer, control system and cutting head, the NEO can be tailored to:

  • The materials and thicknesses you cut most often
  • Your production volumes and cycle-time targets
  • Your preferences for service and support
  • Your investment budget

Whether you are a growing subcontractor taking first step into fibre laser cutting or an established manufacturer adding capacity, there is a NEO configuration to suit the budget and cutting application.
