Fiber laser sheet and plate cutting from 3 kW to 60 kW on a 5 ft x 10 ft standard bed, configurable up to 12 ft x 60 ft, at ± 0.03 mm positioning accuracy.
The Vantix FLC line is fiber laser sheet and plate cutting for Canadian shops running production duty cycles rather than occasional jobs. Power is configurable across eight steps: 3, 6, 10, 12, 20, 30, 40 and 60 kW. The standard cutting area is 5 ft x 10 ft (1.5 m x 3 m), and the platform is configurable up to 12 ft x 60 ft.
Every maximum thickness Vantix publishes for the FLC is measured at 60 kW. At 60 kW the line cuts steel up to 5 in (127 mm), stainless up to 3.5 in (89 mm) and aluminum up to 2.5 in (64 mm). A 3 kW or 6 kW machine will not cut 5 in steel. Vantix publishes no thickness figures for any power level below 60 kW, so if you are sizing a 6 kW or 12 kW system, ask for the thickness chart for that specific configuration rather than scaling down from the 60 kW numbers.
Positioning accuracy is 0.03 mm and maximum positioning speed is 450 ft/min. Motion runs on YASKAWA high-performance servos over 35 mm black-chrome-plated Airtac linear guides, on a 12 mm welded steel bed that is stress-relieved and FEA-checked. Dust collection is zoned and PLC-controlled. Materials supported are steel, stainless, aluminum, copper, brass and titanium. Files come in as DWG, DXF and other industry-standard formats.
Two-year warranty, five days of on-site training, a one-year spare parts kit stocked in Lumby, British Columbia, a 24/7 Canadian support line, and a 48-hour on-site response commitment across Western Canada. Parts are stocked in Lumby, not overseas.
If you are cutting on plasma today, the honest side-by-side is on plasma cutter versus laser cutter. To put numbers against your own outsourcing spend, use the laser cutting machine ROI page. The full line overview sits at fiber laser cutting, and lease and finance-to-own programs are set out on the financing page.
Bring your drawings and your material to the Lumby, BC showroom and watch this machine run your part before you sign anything. Book a demo.

Read every thickness figure below with its power level attached. All three maximum thicknesses are published at 60 kW. Vantix publishes no thickness data for the 3, 6, 10, 12, 20, 30 or 40 kW configurations, and these figures must not be read down to a lower-power machine.

Thickness at any power level other than 60 kW is not published and is therefore absent from this table.
Not published by Vantix for this line and therefore not listed here: laser source brand, CNC control system, electrical supply (voltage, phase, frequency), machine footprint and machine weight. Vantix's own spec sheet is the only source used for this table.
