Bodor Laser Introduces Space Series, Its First 3D Five-Axis Laser Cutting System!

Bodor Laser, a global manufacturer of fiber laser cutting systems, has unveiled its first-ever 3D five-axis laser cutting solution, the Space Series, at FABTECH 2025 in Chicago. Designed for industries that demand high precision and complex geometries—such as automotive, aerospace, mold making, and construction machinery—the Space Series marks a significant step forward in Bodor’s portfolio, combining speed, reliability, and advanced automation features for next-generation manufacturing.

At the heart of the Space Series is a dual-station rotary table engineered to enable synchronized cutting, loading, and unloading. With a rapid 2.5-second changeover and ±15 arcsec accuracy, the system dramatically reduces idle time and boosts throughput. For manufacturers accustomed to time-consuming setups and fixture changes, this capability promises a smoother workflow and significant cost savings.

Reliability is also a central theme of the new system. The Space Series incorporates a heavy-duty gantry with wear-resistant surfaces, ensuring that accuracy is maintained even during extended, high-load operations. This design consideration allows manufacturers to depend on consistent quality in environments where machines must run continuously and downtime can have a major financial impact.

To further minimize disruption, the machine features an auto-reset cutting head. In the event of a collision, the head can restore its position within one second, reducing downtime and avoiding costly interruptions to production. This automated recovery function reflects Bodor’s focus on building resilience directly into its hardware.

Safety and work-zone cleanliness are additional priorities. Integrated light-curtain protection provides operator safety without compromising efficiency, while an advanced dust-removal system ensures a cleaner, healthier workspace. Together, these features create a production environment that balances productivity with employee well-being and compliance requirements.

Programming and setup have also been simplified to make the system more accessible to operators. The Space Series comes equipped with a handheld teach pendant, enabling intuitive, on-the-spot control, along with Tebis offline programming software for efficient toolpath creation. This dual approach allows operators to switch seamlessly between manual teaching and automated program generation, shortening learning curves and accelerating production ramp-up.

According to Bodor Laser’s Product Director at the Global Marketing Center, Patrick W., the new platform reflects the company’s commitment to advancing efficiency and reliability in 3D processing. “We developed the Space Series to help manufacturers achieve efficient and reliable 3D processing,” he said.

The system also delivers measurable production benefits, including shorter cycle times, fewer fixture swaps, reduced rework, and streamlined handling. Together, these improvements make the Space Series a compelling option for manufacturers seeking to lower costs while producing complex components at scale.

The debut of the Space Series at FABTECH 2025 attracted significant attention from attendees, signaling strong interest from North American manufacturers. Mr. Su, General Manager of Bodor Laser Inc., noted that this launch is part of a broader strategy to expand the company’s presence in the U.S. market. Plans include enlarging Bodor’s Technology & Service Experience Center, increasing spare parts availability, and building stronger local support teams to ensure timely service and technical assistance for customers.

By combining advanced engineering with a strong commitment to customer support, Bodor Laser is positioning the Space Series as more than just a machine—it is a complete solution designed to help manufacturers transition into an era of higher efficiency, precision, and competitiveness in global markets.
