In metal fiber laser cutting equipment, the control system serves as the “brain” of the machine. It directly determines cutting accuracy, operational stability, processing efficiency, and
long-term reliability.
At Foster Laser, we consistently adhere to the principle of deep integration between the control system and the complete machine structure. By precisely matching systems to different power
levels and application requirements, we provide customers with more rational, mature, and proven cutting solutions.
Within the Foster Laser fiber laser cutting machine product portfolio, CypCut (Bochu) and RayTools are the two most widely adopted and fully validated mainstream cutting systems.
FIRST Core Selection Logic: Power Determines the System, Application Defines the Configuration
In practical applications, fiber laser cutting machines with different power levels impose distinctly different requirements on the control system.
Low-power machines prioritize cost-effectiveness, ease of operation, and stable basic functionality, while medium- and high-power machines place much higher demands on system stability,
algorithm capability, and continuous heavy-duty operation.
Based on extensive delivery experience and long-term operational data, Foster Laser has established a clear and mature system selection strategy:
For power levels up to 3000W: priority is given to stable, practical, and cost-controlled solutions.
For power levels of 6000W and above: the focus shifts to system performance limits and industrial-grade stability.
SECOND RayTools System: A Cost-Effective and Stable Choice
The RayTools system is well known for its mature architecture, intuitive operation, and reliable performance, making it an ideal solution for low-power and selected mid-power fiber laser
cutting machines.
In Foster Laser configurations, machines with power levels of 1500W, 2000W, and 3000W are typically equipped with the XC3000S control system.
This solution delivers stable performance in thin-sheet cutting and standard metal processing, features a low learning curve, and offers controlled maintenance costs, making it especially
suitable for small and medium-sized fabrication workshops as well as first-time fiber laser users.
When machine power is increased to 6000W, Foster Laser selects the XC3000P system according to specific processing requirements, achieving a balanced combination of stability and overall
cost efficiency.
For the 12kW power range, the RayTools XC6000 system is capable of meeting high-power cutting demands and is well suited for customers who are budget-conscious while still requiring
enhanced cutting capacity.
Overall, RayTools systems emphasize practical functionality, stable operation, and ease of maintenance, and are widely and successfully applied in Foster Laser’s low- and mid-power machine
models.
THIRD CypCut System: Industrial-Grade Assurance for Medium and High Power Machines
In the medium- and high-power fiber laser cutting segment, CypCut (Bochu) systems have become an industry benchmark thanks to their advanced algorithms, powerful control capability, and
exceptional stability.
For Foster Laser machines operating at 1500W, 2000W, and 3000W, the CypCut 2000E system is available as an option, providing enhanced functionality for users with higher requirements
for cutting quality and process control.
At the 6000W power level, Foster Laser typically adopts the CypCut 4000E system to support medium- and thick-plate cutting, high-load processing, and long-duration continuous operation.
For 12kW and higher power configurations, Foster Laser integrates the CypCut 8000E system, ensuring consistent cutting quality and operational stability even under high-speed and high-
power conditions, fully meeting the demands of industrial-scale mass production.
FOURTH System Selection Is Only the Beginning — Complete Machine Integration Is the Key
The true performance of a cutting system can only be realized when it is deeply matched with the machine structure, transmission components, electrical design, and software parameters.
Before delivery, every Foster Laser fiber laser cutting machine for metal plate steel undergoes comprehensive system parameter optimization and full-machine testing based on the
selected control system,ensuring:
Stable system operation
Consistent cutting accuracy
Reliable long-term performance
Reduced maintenance and greater ease of service
Conclusion: Choosing the Right System Means Choosing the Right Complete Solution
Selecting a fiber laser cutting system is essentially an investment decision in machine stability, productivity, and long-term user experience.
Whether equipped with RayTools or CypCut, Foster Laser machines have achieved mature integration and large-scale application across diverse industries.
All of the above system configurations are fully compatible with Foster Laser fiber laser cutting machines and laser equipment have been extensively validated in multiple industries and
application scenarios.
Choosing Foster Laser means more than selecting a single machine—it means choosing a proven, stable, and professionally engineered fiber laser cutting solution.
