Hardware Solutions
SMART Mix (laser sources 20kW and up)
The SMART Mix option includes a component that enhances the cutting process through hardware technology controlled in real-time by our Smart Manager software. With just a few clicks, the right amount of oxygen and nitrogen can be supplied instantly for cutting varying metal types and thicknesses, saving gas consumption and delivering a cool part for fast removal from the table.
SMART Changer
This upgrade allows the laser machine to automatically replace the cutting head nozzle without operator intervention. Up to 10 positions are available, including both cleaning and calibration functions. This solution, paired with automation, allows for full "lights-out" operation on laser systems with shuttle tables.
SMART Camera
Multiple cameras may be installed inside the laser cabin for multi-angle remote viewing. One camera is included with the system.
SMART Flow Automated Loading and Unloading
Cutlite Penta can fully automate your metal cutting operation by pairing your laser cutting system with our automation and storage systems, reducing loading and unloading times. We can tailor a fully automated loading and unloading system for your location positioned above the laser pallet changer at either 90° or in-line with the pallet changer, with or without a storage tower.
SMART Raster
SMART Raster is an optional software tool that allows the machines to raster identification numbers or images on stainless steel.
Two Level Pallet Exchange
This table upgrade allows heavier plates - up 2 to 1.5" - to be processed on the XME. Both pallets can be removed from the cabin for easy cleaning and maintenance.

EVO 3 Head
The XME system uses the EVO 3 cutting head, which has been proven reliable with thousands of installations worldwide when integrated with high-power fiber laser systems. Designed and built in Italy, this autofocusing cutting head offers exceptional cutting speeds on both thinner and thicker materials. The cutting head is completely sealed, and the focusing lenses can be used with up to 50KW of laser power and a pressure of 25 bar. There are three focal configurations to choose from: 150, 200, and 250mm.
Automation
Durable and quick, our loading/ unloading and storage tower solutions were designed to work with our laser systems. These highly customizable systems allow for quick and easy loading and unloading, and lights out operation.
Our Laser Sources
The fiber laser sources offered with our systems ensure remarkable metal-cutting versatility and range from 4kW to 20kW. Both the IPG and Raycus resonators are housed in an air-conditioned and sealed NEMA 12 cabinet. These highly efficient laser sources offer excellent beam quality and low energy consumption, ensuring reliable operation even in demanding production environments. At this time, only IPG offers CSA-certified resonators for the Canadian market.
