Revolutionary Technology Breakthrough
The First Ultra-High Power Dual Gantry System
The cornerstone of this technological breakthrough lies in LD LASER’s pioneering dual gantry architecture combined with ultra-high power laser capabilities. This innovative design represents years of intensive research and development, resulting in a system that fundamentally transforms how manufacturers approach complex cutting operations.
The dual gantry configuration provides unparalleled stability and precision during high-speed operations. Unlike traditional single-gantry systems that can experience vibration and deflection under extreme cutting conditions, our dual gantry design distributes mechanical loads evenly, ensuring consistent cut quality even at maximum power levels. This engineering excellence translates directly into superior edge quality, reduced post-processing requirements, and dramatically improved production efficiency.
The ultra-high power laser source delivers exceptional cutting speeds across a wide range of material thicknesses. By harnessing advanced fiber laser technology optimized for industrial applications, the system maintains exceptional beam quality while delivering the raw power necessary for thick-section cutting operations. This combination of power and precision opens new possibilities for manufacturers previously constrained by the limitations of conventional cutting technologies.
Advanced ±55° Bevel Cutting Capability
The ±55° bevel cutting capability represents a fundamental advancement in laser cutting flexibility. Traditional laser cutting systems are limited to perpendicular cuts or basic bevels with restricted angles. LD LASER’s innovative cutting head design incorporates advanced beam steering technology and precision mechanical systems that enable accurate bevel cutting across the full ±55° range.
This exceptional angular range addresses the diverse requirements of modern manufacturing applications. From shallow bevels required for decorative applications to steep angles necessary for structural welding preparation, the system adapts seamlessly to varying production demands. The precision angular control ensures consistent bevel angles across the entire cut length, eliminating the variations and inaccuracies commonly associated with mechanical cutting processes.
The bevel cutting system incorporates real-time monitoring and adaptive control technologies that maintain optimal cutting parameters throughout the operation. Advanced sensors continuously monitor cut quality, automatically adjusting power, speed, and gas flow to maintain consistent results regardless of material variations or cutting conditions.
Superior Welding Performance: The 55° Advantage
The ±55° bevel cutting capability of LD LASER’s revolutionary system delivers unprecedented welding performance advantages that directly address the most critical challenges in modern fabrication. This optimized angle range represents the culmination of extensive metallurgical research and practical welding experience, providing manufacturers with superior joint quality and reliability.
Enhanced Arc Stability
The 55° bevel design fundamentally improves arc stability during welding operations, creating more consistent and controllable welding conditions. Arc stability directly correlates with weld quality, and the optimized bevel geometry significantly reduces arc fluctuations that can compromise joint integrity.
Arc length maintains a proportional relationship with voltage, and the increased bevel angle effectively minimizes vertical arc oscillation during the welding process. This stability reduces the risk of welding defects such as porosity, incomplete fusion, and irregular penetration patterns that commonly occur with suboptimal bevel geometries. The result is more consistent weld profiles with improved mechanical properties and enhanced reliability.
The enhanced arc stability proves particularly valuable in automated welding applications where consistent arc behavior is essential for maintaining predetermined welding parameters. Robotic and automated welding systems achieve superior performance with 55° bevels, as the stable arc conditions enable more precise control over heat input and deposition rates.
Optimized Penetration and Fusion Characteristics
Traditional bevel angles below 45° frequently result in negative penetration characteristics, where molten metal cannot adequately fill the root area of the joint. This phenomenon, known as incomplete root fusion, represents one of the most serious defects in welded structures, potentially compromising joint strength and fatigue resistance.
The 55° bevel geometry addresses this critical issue by increasing the distance between the arc and the root area, enabling more effective heat distribution and metal flow. This improved geometry promotes complete penetration while ensuring adequate fusion throughout the joint cross-section. The result is superior weld quality with minimized unfused areas that could serve as stress concentrators or fatigue initiation sites.
Penetration depth optimization achieved through 55° bevel geometry enables manufacturers to achieve full-strength joints with reduced weld metal deposition. This efficiency translates into faster welding speeds, reduced consumable costs, and improved productivity while maintaining or exceeding strength requirements. The optimized fusion characteristics prove particularly beneficial in thick-section applications where complete penetration is essential for structural integrity.
Adaptability for Specialized Welding Applications
The 55° bevel configuration provides exceptional adaptability for specialized welding scenarios that demand precise control over joint geometry and welding parameters. Thick plate welding applications, where traditional bevel angles prove inadequate, benefit significantly from the enhanced access and improved heat distribution characteristics of 55° bevels.
Space-constrained welding operations, common in shipbuilding and heavy industrial applications, require welding techniques that accommodate limited access while maintaining weld quality. The 55° bevel geometry enables effective welding in these challenging conditions by providing adequate electrode access while ensuring complete fusion throughout the joint.
Root face thickness optimization becomes particularly critical in specialized applications. By increasing the root face thickness to 8mm or greater, fabricators can achieve optimal balance between penetration control and angular distortion management. This flexibility enables precise control over welding parameters while ensuring that structural requirements are met without compromising dimensional stability.
The ability to adjust root face geometry in conjunction with the 55° bevel angle provides manufacturers with unprecedented control over welding outcomes. This control proves essential in applications where both weld strength and dimensional accuracy are critical, such as pressure vessel fabrication and precision structural assemblies.

Y-type bevel cutting addresses the sophisticated requirements of advanced structural applications where traditional joint geometries prove inadequate. This configuration combines the benefits of V-groove preparation with additional material access for specialized welding techniques and joint configurations.
The asymmetric nature of Y-type bevels requires exceptional precision in angular control and edge positioning. LD LASER’s advanced cutting head technology maintains precise geometric relationships throughout the cutting process, ensuring that complex assemblies fit together with minimal adjustment or rework. This precision is particularly critical in aerospace and marine applications where joint integrity directly impacts structural performance.
Y-type bevels find extensive application in thick-section structural steel fabrication, where weld access and penetration requirements demand specialized joint geometries. The ability to produce these complex preparations in a single cutting operation eliminates multiple setup operations and reduces manufacturing cycle times significantly.
X-Type Bevel Cutting: Specialized Welding Applications
X-type bevel cutting represents the pinnacle of complex joint preparation technology. This sophisticated configuration enables full-penetration welding from both sides of the joint, maximizing weld strength while minimizing welding time and consumable usage.
