From 12kW to 60kW: Bodor Powers US Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing
Leading U.S. agricultural machinery parts manufacturer selects Bodor's 60kW fiber laser cutter to boost thick-plate processing efficiency and drive smart manufacturing upgrades.
June 2025 – North Carolina, USA – Bodor Laser, a global leader in intelligent laser cutting solutions, has signed an agreement to supply a P4 60kW fiber laser cutting machine to a leading agricultural machinery parts manufacturer in North Carolina. This marks a strategic upgrade from the client's existing Bodor P412kW system and reflects the industry's growing demand for higher efficiency and advanced processing capabilities.
The customer, an established producer of agricultural equipment components, has maintained a long-term partnership with Bodor and regularly invests in high-performance technologies. After recognizing that high-power laser technology is increasingly aligned with the evolving needs of the agricultural machinery market, the customer took a strong interest in Bodor's 60kW fiber laser system. Their confidence in Bodor—built on years of reliable equipment performance and dependable after-sales support—further reinforced their decision. As a result, they chose to move forward with the purchase of the 60kW model.
Unlocking New Capabilities with 60kW Power
The transition from a 12kW to a 60kW system represents a substantial technological upgrade for the manufacturer—especially in a sector where thick-material processing is essential. Agricultural machinery production often involves structural components such as bottom support plates and hopper perimeter boards, many of which exceed 20mm in thickness. These parts require not only robust power but also precise edge quality to meet functional and safety standards.
Bodor's 60kW fiber laser cutting machine delivers cutting speeds three to four times faster than its 12kW predecessor, significantly boosting production efficiency. It enables the customer to execute high-volume batch processing of thick plates, reducing turnaround times and improving throughput during peak manufacturing periods. The system also supports bevel cutting on steel plates over 50mm, an important capability for creating complex angles and welded joints required in modern agricultural machinery designs. This upgrade equips the manufacturer to meet stricter engineering requirements and maintain competitiveness as the industry increasingly adopts digital and high-precision fabrication technologies.
In addition to high-power P series sheet metal cutting solutions, Bodor also offers advanced tube processing technology tailored for the agricultural machinery industry. The M Series, Bodor’s flagship four-chuck metal tube laser cutting machine, delivers both efficiency and precision in metal tube processing. Its dual-process parallel cutting system and real zero-tail cutting capability enable manufacturers to achieve 100% material utilization—a critical advantage in managing costs and maximizing yield in agricultural equipment production.
