First Parts Off the New ENSIS: What We Learned From Day One

At Laser Profiling Limited, investing in new technology is all about improving the service we provide to our customers. With the installation of our new AMADA ENSIS-3015 AJ 6kW fibre laser, we’re excited to continue evolving our laser cutting capabilities.

This latest addition replaces our previous 4kW AMADA F1 CO₂ laser, which served the business well for many years. Upgrading to fibre laser technology allows us to build on that strong foundation while increasing efficiency, flexibility, and performance.

While the machine is currently completing its commissioning phase, we’ve already had the opportunity to begin running initial test parts - and the early results are extremely encouraging.

Precision From the First Cut

One of the first things that stood out during our initial runs was the consistency and accuracy the ENSIS delivers. Fibre laser technology allows for extremely tight tolerances and clean edge finishes, meaning parts require less secondary processing and move more efficiently through production.

For our customers, this translates directly into high quality components and reliable repeatability across production runs.

Speed and Efficiency

Another immediate advantage we noticed was the cutting speed across a variety of materials. Compared with older CO₂ technology, fibre lasers offer significantly improved cutting performance, particularly on thinner materials.

The ENSIS system also intelligently adjusts the beam mode depending on the material thickness, allowing it to process both thin sheet and thicker plate efficiently on the same machine.

Material Versatility

During our first runs, we began testing a range of materials including:

• Mild steel
• Stainless steel
• Aluminium

The results showed excellent cut quality across all three, reinforcing the machine’s ability to handle diverse project requirements across multiple industries.

Preparing for Full Production

Although we’re still in the commissioning stage, these first test runs have already demonstrated the advantages this new technology will bring to our workshop.

Our team is currently working closely with engineers to ensure everything is fully calibrated and optimised before the machine moves into full production.

What This Means for Our Customers

Upgrading from our previous CO₂ laser to the ENSIS fibre system represents an important step forward for Laser Profiling Limited. Once fully operational, it will allow us to:

• Increase production capacity
• Improve cutting efficiency
• Maintain exceptional precision
• Process a wider range of materials and thicknesses

Watch This Space

We’re looking forward to sharing more updates as the commissioning process completes and the machine begins full production.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be showcasing the ENSIS in action, highlighting the parts it produces and the projects it will help bring to life.

Stay tuned - the best is yet to come.
