Bodor Laser Introduces All-in-One Profile Cutting Solution for Advanced Structural Steel Fabrication!

North America’s structural steel industry is experiencing strong momentum, driven by federal infrastructure investments and rising private-sector spending. As fabrication demands grow more complex and quality expectations increase, Bodor Laser is stepping forward with an integrated, highly automated profile-cutting solution built to streamline production and eliminate inefficiencies across the workflow. By combining the U3000 Professional Multi-task Fiber Laser Cutting Machine with the Hicut Professional Profile Fiber Laser Cutting Machine, Bodor delivers a one-stop system that enhances accuracy, speed, and reliability for structural steel fabricators.

Traditional processing of I-beams and H-beams often involves multiple stages, manual adjustments, and elevated risk of positioning errors—especially when working with intricate patterns, notches, bevels, and complex cut-outs. Bodor’s unified solution simplifies this entire process by supporting five key operations—hole-making, beveling, notching, marking, and cutting—within an integrated system capable of cyclic loading, cutting, and unloading. Seamless software compatibility with Tekla, along with Bodor’s Intelligent Deviation-correction Positioning technology, ensures that every feature is reproduced precisely as designed, creating a smooth path to error-free on-site assembly.

At the heart of Bodor’s platform is the U3000, a multi-task fiber laser system engineered to handle profiles, sheets, and tubes on a single machine. With a maximum processing length of over 110 inches and configurable worktables, the U3000 supports uninterrupted production cycles across diverse material formats. The machine’s versatility allows fabricators to consolidate multiple equipment setups into one solution that performs profile cutting, sheet processing, and tube fabrication with equal efficiency. Optional installation on a steel base adds further flexibility, making deployment easier across different shop environments.

Complementing the U3000 is the Bodor Hicut, purpose-built for automated I-beam and H-beam processing. The Hicut streamlines end-to-end fabrication—loading, positioning, hole-making, beveling, cutting, and unloading—without requiring manual input. Rapid loading capabilities shorten preparation times, while intelligent unloading automatically groups finished parts by length. The machine’s five-axis linkage with 180° reciprocating head movement enables full-angle, high-precision processing, particularly valuable for structural components requiring complex geometries. Bodor’s one-pass lock notching technology ensures flawless results in a single operation, eliminating the need for secondary finishing.

These advanced systems are already widely adopted by structural steel manufacturers across North America, supporting sectors such as infrastructure development, heavy machinery, and shipbuilding. Customers have recognized not only the performance of Bodor’s machines but also the company’s strong service capabilities. As of 2024, Bodor has led global fiber laser sales for six consecutive years, reinforcing its reputation for innovation and reliability. Core components—including the Bodor Laser source, the Bodor Thinker control system, and the Bodor Genius cutting head—are covered by a robust five-year warranty, offering long-term confidence to users.

Looking ahead, Bodor is committed to further strengthening its presence in North America. The company is expanding its local service workforce and enhancing spare-parts availability to ensure rapid support and minimal downtime for manufacturers. According to Bodor representatives, continued innovation and deeper regional engagement will remain central to their mission of empowering fabricators with cutting-edge laser solutions tailored for modern structural steel production.
