Maximum workpiece heights for Trotec laser machines

What is the 'maximum workpiece height'?

Kerf Cut: Bended wood with large honeycombs

 The "maximum workpiece height" is the maximum height of a material or workpiece that can be processed on a laser machine. This is calculated based on the distance between the working table and the focus point of the laser beam below the laser head. The lens used determines the position of the focus point.

We have provided pre-calculated values for the maximum workpiece heights in the technical data for our laser machines, making it easy for you to compare the dimensions of your products and materials with our machine specifications. The maximum workpiece heights for our laser machines are listed below.

How to select the right maximum workpiece height when purchasing a laser machine

When selecting the right laser machine for your application, you should measure your products for laser engraving and marking. Compare these dimensions with the technical data of our laser machines. The crucial measurements when selecting your laser machine are the length and width of the working area as well as the maximum workpiece height. The higher the maximum workpiece height of a laser machine is, the bigger your products and materials can be. As the working table of a flatbed laser machine is height-adjustable, a laser with a high maximum workpiece height is suitable for processing a wide range of applications. Laser machines capable are recommended for processing applications with varying product heights, such as laser marking of components, packaging production and model making.
