“With the Fireblade GU, we offer the ideal technology for metalworking companies that want to enter the laser market and are afraid of high investments. It is an economical but powerful solution for precise 2D cutting of standard sheet metal. With three selectable laser powers (12 KW, 20 KW and 30 KW) and four available sizes (3015, 4020, 6025, 8025), the machine adapts to different production requirements,” says Abraham Balendran, Product Management at Messer Cutting Systems.
Efficient, precise, fast and economical
Whether cutting mild steel, stainless steel or aluminum – the Fireblade GU delivers impressive results in each of these materials. Depending on the laser power and material, the cutting system cuts material thicknesses of up to 60 mm quickly, precisely and economically. The different models cover cutting ranges from 3,000 x 1,500 mm to 8,000 x 2,500 mm. Proven components such as the Precitec ProCutter 2.0 cutting head ensure precise and reliable performance.

The system achieves good cutting results not least because of its low-vibration substructure. The solid hollow-bed table construction of the Fireblade GU ensures optimum stability for all material thicknesses. The one-piece aluminum bridge construction gives the Fireblade GU high rigidity and low weight at the same time. This not only enables dynamic processing, but also significantly increases the cutting performance. The system works with high acceleration and positioning speed for high efficiency and productivity – even for demanding cutting tasks. The parallel shuttle table also ensures a smooth material changeover, significantly reducing production time.
User-friendly and secure
The Fireblade GU combines the latest laser technology with a user-friendly user interface. The large touchscreen ensures intuitive operation and simple control of the system. The 21.5-inch screen for the four process and room monitoring cameras provides an optimum view of the work area and therefore a perfect overview of the cutting process. Occupational safety during laser cutting is guaranteed by a tested laser enclosure. Thanks to its full compatibility with the OmniWin software, the Fireblade GU can be seamlessly integrated into existing production processes and offers a flexible solution for modern metalworking companies.

Focus on durability and efficiency
A special feature of the Fireblade GU is its durability and ease of maintenance. Easy access to the components via large inspection hatches makes maintenance work considerably easier. Automatic lubrication of the sliding surfaces keeps the machine ready for use for longer and ensures high performance. In addition, the sectional extraction system on both sides ensures a clean working environment, which further increases the service life and efficiency of the machine. Abraham Balendran: “Minimal cutting costs in the best laser quality make the Fireblade GU an economical and powerful alternative in the compact class. It is therefore the ideal machine for companies that want to integrate 2D laser cutting technology into their own workflow.” Web: www.messer-cutting.com
