Prima Power LS Fiber

Linear motors eliminate the mechanical transmission between the motor and the moving axis — the linear motor directly drives the cutting head without gears, belts, or ball screws. This direct drive enables higher acceleration (up to 2.0 G on the LS Fiber versus 1.0-1.5 G on ball screw machines), faster deceleration, and more precise positioning since there is no backlash or compliance in the drive train. On dense nested programs with many short cutting segments and frequent direction changes, the higher acceleration of linear motor machines translates to meaningfully faster average cutting speeds even when maximum speed is similar.

The Laser Genius Plus is Prima Power's flagship fiber laser cutting machine with higher-tier performance specifications, including speeds up to 180 m/min and higher power options. The LS Fiber occupies a slightly lower tier in the Prima Power product line with a focus on competitive pricing while retaining the linear motor drive advantage. Both use the Tulus software platform. The Laser Genius Plus typically offers higher available laser power configurations and more extensive automation integration options. The LS Fiber offers better value for shops that don't need the Laser Genius Plus's top-end specifications.

The LS Fiber includes a dual shuttle table system as standard. The shuttle table allows one pallet to be positioned in the cutting zone while the other is accessible for loading raw sheets and unloading finished parts. The pallet exchange takes approximately 10-15 seconds, meaning the laser is cutting continuously with only brief pauses for pallet exchange rather than stopping completely between sheets. For a machine running 16+ hours per day, the dual shuttle table significantly improves effective production hours versus a single-table machine.

The LS Fiber cuts all common sheet metals including mild steel, high-strength steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium. The fiber laser wavelength (approximately 1,070 nm) is well-absorbed by most metals including highly reflective copper and brass where CO2 lasers struggle. Maximum cuttable thickness depends on laser power configuration — the 10 kW configuration cuts mild steel up to 25 mm, stainless up to 15 mm, and aluminum up to 12 mm. The machine uses oxygen assist gas for mild steel, high-pressure nitrogen for stainless and aluminum, and can use compressed air for some mild steel applications.

Yes. The LS Fiber is compatible with Prima Power's Night Train FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System), which is a multi-tower raw material storage and automated loading/unloading system for laser cutting machines. Night Train integration enables fully automated sheet management — the FMS stores raw sheets by material and thickness, automatically retrieves the correct sheet for each job, feeds it to the laser, and sorts finished parts and skeletons. For high-volume operations, Night Train FMS integration enables true lights-out production where the machine runs unattended through multiple shifts with minimal operator involvement.
