Large format | durable | protected
A production platform designed around long material, heavy plate and flexible factory requirements.
The H Series combines modular bed architecture with an independent worktable, a lightweight rigid crossbeam and configurable safety, extraction and material-handling options. The correct build should be selected around your largest plate, material thickness, part mix, site layout and production targets.
Rigid, lightweight crossbeam
The aluminium crossbeam uses a reinforced honeycomb structure intended to combine fast response, rigidity and low deformation.
Enhanced machine protection
Protective crossbeam and safety arrangements are intended to support stable operation in demanding plate-processing environments.
Modular large-format architecture
Configure the machine around the work, rather than forcing the work around a standard bed.
Bodor presents the current H platform with modular worktable, waste-handling and dedusting options. The independent worktable is separated from the main bed frame to help limit heat transfer, while modular length choices provide a route to 12m, 16m, 20m and longer production requirements.
Independent worktable
Separating the worktable from the bed frame is intended to reduce thermal influence on the main machine structure.
Modular bed length
Select a length around stock sizes, component geometry, loading strategy and available factory space.
Flexible plant integration
Waste trolleys, extraction and other supporting equipment can be planned as part of the complete installation.
Built for demanding plate work
Structure, safety and extraction are considered as part of one production system.
The H Series is positioned for heavy, large-format applications where machine stability, operator protection and fume control matter as much as nominal cutting size. World Machinery can review floor loading, service access, extraction routing, power, gases and material flow before a final specification is agreed.
Aerospace aluminium beam
The current manufacturer description highlights a reinforced aluminium beam designed for high structural strength with lower moving mass.
Safety planning
Protective covers and safety light curtains can form part of the configured machine and site risk-control package.
Zoned fume extraction
Follow-up extraction concentrates airflow around the active cutting zone to support a cleaner working environment.
Intelligent cutting functions
Functions designed to protect the cutting head, shorten setup and improve process consistency.
Availability depends on model, laser power, software and selected options. World Machinery will confirm which functions are included in the exact UK machine specification.
Machine protection
Active obstacle avoidance
BodorGenius sensors and path logic are designed to detect raised or tilted parts and reduce the risk of cutting-head collisions.
Optional process
Multiple bevel profiles
Suitable H Series configurations can support A, V, top-Y, X and K bevel cuts, helping reduce later preparation and welding stages.
Thick plate productivity
Lightning piercing
Rapid piercing coordinates focus and process control with cutting-head movement to reduce non-cutting time on medium and thick plate.
Faster setup
One-second edge finding
An optical camera identifies material position, origin and angular offset to simplify sheet alignment and focus compensation.
Material utilisation
Intelligent remnant layout
Upload part geometry and remnant information so the control can help position and nest additional work on usable material.
Process stability
Overheating offset
The function compensates for heat-related focal drift, supporting more stable cutting conditions during thick-sheet production.
Assist-gas control
Intelligent pressure adjustment
Closed-loop pressure feedback automatically corrects deviation between the programmed and actual assist-gas pressure.
Cleaner production
Follow-up dust removal
Partitioned extraction and coordinated airflow concentrate fume removal around the active cutting area.
Structural workflow
Tekla-compatible nesting
The existing World Machinery page describes nesting compatibility with Tekla files to support structural-steel workflows and material planning.

Application-led specification
Plan the complete large-format cutting process before choosing bed size and power.
A large machine only adds value when material flow, extraction, site services and downstream handling are designed around it. World Machinery can review the complete production route from stock entry through cutting, part removal and secondary fabrication.
Material and thickness
Define grades, maximum thickness, reflective materials, edge-quality requirements and the balance between thin-sheet speed and thick-plate capability.
Plate length and width
Use actual stock sizes and the largest finished components to select working width, modular bed length and loading strategy.
Part geometry and bevels
Review pierce count, small features, common-line cutting, remnant use and whether bevel preparation should be completed on the laser.
Factory and utilities
Plan floor space, foundations, service access, electrical supply, assist gases, compressor capacity, extraction discharge and crane or forklift routes.

H Series buying questions
Questions UK manufacturers ask before specifying an ultra-large format fibre laser.
These answers provide an initial guide. Final performance, configuration, compliance and commercial terms must be confirmed for the exact machine offered.
What is the Bodor H Series designed to cut?
The H Series is designed for large and ultra-large sheet or plate components, including applications where long bed lengths, wide working areas and thick-plate process capability are important. Suitability depends on material, thickness, geometry, laser power and the required edge quality.
What bed lengths are available for the H Series?
Bodor describes a modular platform beginning at 12 metres and extending in modular increments for longer production requirements. Exact combinations depend on the current model range, working width, site and selected equipment package.
What is the difference between H3000, H4000 and H5000?
The names broadly indicate different working-width families. The existing World Machinery examples show approximately 3.2m, 4.2m and 5.15m working widths, but bed length, power and options must be confirmed for the machine currently available in the UK.
Can the H Series produce bevel cuts?
Optional configurations can support A, V, top-Y, X and K bevel profiles. The existing World Machinery page describes bevel angles up to plus or minus 45 degrees. Availability, material limits and achievable tolerances depend on the selected head, software, plate and process.
Is H Series nesting compatible with Tekla?
The existing World Machinery page describes nesting-software compatibility with Tekla files. Confirm the required file workflow, licence, software version and any optional modules before ordering.
How is fume and dust managed on a long cutting bed?
The H Series uses divided extraction zones and follow-up airflow around the active cutting area. The complete extraction system still needs to be sized for the machine, power, material, duty cycle and local installation requirements.
Does World Machinery provide UK installation and training?
World Machinery can support application review, delivery coordination, installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing service for the agreed UK project scope.
What information is needed for an H Series quotation?
Provide material grades, minimum and maximum thickness, largest plate size, typical part geometry, bevel requirements, annual volume, desired cycle time, factory layout, power and gas availability, extraction requirements and purchase timescale.
