Compact | efficient | flexible
Big cutting capability in a machine designed for tighter production spaces.
The i Series is positioned for manufacturers that want enclosed fibre laser cutting with a smaller footprint, straightforward operation and intelligent production functions. The correct format should be selected around your stock size, part mix, material thickness and available floor area.
Efficient production
Intelligent functions support material flow, repeatable setup and productive day-to-day operation.
Three working formats
Published i5, i6 and i7 examples provide routes from compact sheet sizes through to 3048 × 1524mm material.
Cutting parameter auto-match
A clearer starting point for repeatable cutting quality.
The i Series presentation highlights cutting parameter auto-match as a way to compare sample quality and help operators select a suitable process starting point. The aim is to reduce trial-and-error, shorten setup and support more consistent results across recurring materials.
Faster initial setup
Use stored process knowledge and visual comparison to reduce unnecessary parameter testing.
More consistent results
Provide operators with a repeatable baseline for common materials and thicknesses.
Application-led verification
Confirm final parameters through representative cutting trials using your own material and parts.
Five-year core-component support
Integrated Bodor components are presented as one connected cutting system.
The current World Machinery page describes a five-year warranty for three core Bodor components: the BodorThinker control system, BodorPower laser source and BodorGenius laser head. Coverage, exclusions, service conditions and the exact supplied components must be confirmed in the written quotation and warranty terms.
BodorThinker control
Machine control and process software designed to coordinate the cutting system and intelligent functions.
BodorPower laser source
Integrated laser-source technology specified according to the selected machine and cutting requirement.
BodorGenius cutting head
A connected cutting head supporting process control and intelligent collision-avoidance functions.
Responsive compact production
High-dynamic motion intended to make every metre of floor space work harder.
Bodor describes the i Series as using high-performance bus servo motors with maximum acceleration stated at 1.5G. Its published comparison presents an overall performance improvement of 30% against Bodor’s previous-generation product. Actual output depends on laser power, material, thickness, piercing, nesting and process settings.

Intelligent cutting functions
Functions designed to protect the process, stabilise thin sheet and recover usable material.
Feature availability depends on machine configuration, software and selected options. World Machinery will confirm the exact included functions in writing.
Process setup
Cutting parameter auto-match
The existing interface image shows sample-quality comparison intended to help operators choose a suitable parameter starting point for recurring work.
Process protection
Intelligent collision avoidance
Servo-following sensors and path-avoidance logic are intended to reduce the risk of the cutting head striking raised or tilted parts.
Thin-sheet stability
Sheet-edge anti-vibration
The laser-head response is adjusted to help maintain stable cutting when thin sheet moves under assist-gas pressure.
Material utilisation
Remnant recognition and layout
An uploaded photograph can help identify leftover sheet and locate usable corners for additional nesting, subject to the selected software workflow.
Cutting technology and machine structure
Optional scanning cutting is supported by a rigid bed, lightweight beam and intelligent motion control.
The current i Series presentation combines optional laser scanning cutting for selected reflective-sheet applications with a third-generation mortise-and-tenon welded bed and an aerospace aluminium beam. Suitability and availability depend on laser source, software, material, thickness and configuration.
01
Conventional production cutting
The standard cutting process follows the programmed contour with parameters selected for the material, thickness, gas and required edge quality.
02
Optional laser scanning cutting
Bodor presents a scanning path that changes the optical interaction and reduces reflected energy returning through the cutting system when processing selected high-reflective sheets.
Third-generation welded bed
The mortise-and-tenon frame is presented with increased rigidity and structural strength compared with Bodor’s previous generation.
Aerospace aluminium beam
The published beam design is intended to reduce moving weight while increasing structural strength for responsive motion.
i5, i6 and i7 working formats

i Series questions
What UK manufacturers usually ask before specifying a Bodor i Series.
Final answers depend on the selected i5, i6 or i7 format, laser source, software, material and optional equipment. World Machinery can prepare a current written configuration for your project.
What is the Bodor i Series designed for?
The i Series is a compact enclosed sheet-metal fibre laser intended for manufacturers that need productive cutting in a smaller floor area. The appropriate format depends on stock size, maximum component dimensions, material thickness and required throughput.
What is the difference between i5, i6 and i7?
The current World Machinery page publishes different working areas: 1000 × 1500mm for i5, 2000 × 1000mm for i6 and 3048 × 1524mm for i7. Table load also increases from 250kg to 400kg and 900kg respectively. Confirm the current UK specification before ordering.
How much factory space does the i Series need?
The i Series is promoted as a compact machine, but total installation space must include loading access, operator circulation, service clearance, extraction, chiller, gas equipment and safe material handling. World Machinery can review the proposed site layout.
Is the Bodor i Series fully enclosed?
The current product presentation describes an enclosure intended to separate operators from the cutting process and support centralized dust collection. Final guarding, extraction and site safety arrangements should be confirmed during specification and installation planning.
What acceleration and linkage speed are published?
The current World Machinery page lists maximum acceleration of 1.5G and maximum linkage speed of 91m/min for the i5, i6 and i7 examples. Real cycle time depends on geometry, piercing, material, thickness, laser power, nesting and process parameters.
Can the i Series cut reflective materials?
The page highlights optional laser scanning cutting for selected high-reflective sheets. Suitability depends on the laser source, software, material grade and thickness, so representative cutting trials and written confirmation are recommended.
Can World Machinery test my material before I order?
A demonstration or cutting trial can be arranged using representative material and part files. This is the best way to review edge quality, speed, gas use and handling requirements before final specification.
What support is available after installation?
World Machinery provides UK installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing service support. Planned-maintenance and finance options can also be discussed as part of the project.
