**Dalian Honeybee CNC HN-H8025 large-format fiber laser cutting machine**, with heavy-duty machine bed, high repeat positioning accuracy and high-power cutting performance, has been applied in many auto-parts manufacturers for commercial vehicle chassis, EV battery brackets and impact protection components.
Case Details
Customer Background
This customer is a large automotive component supplier exporting products to Europe and North America. They produce commercial vehicle chassis and new energy vehicle structural parts. Workpieces are mainly high-strength steel and aluminum plates, including long chassis cross beams, frame connecting plates, battery pack mounting brackets and crash reinforcement plates. Plate thickness ranges from 3mm to 20mm, workpiece length up to 7.8 meters.
Customer Challenges
- Long plates had to be cut in sections with repeated clamping, causing large dimensional errors and poor welding assembly performance.
- High-strength steel cutting easily produces dross and thermal deformation, heavy deburring workload.
- Frequent new model updates lead to high mold cost and long lead time for small-batch prototypes.
- Poor machine stability during long-hour thick-plate mass production, unexpected downtime delays delivery.
Honeybee Solution
Customer adopted large format fiber laser cutting machine, equipped with 12kW Raycus laser source, CypCut control system, WSX auto-focus cutting head and exchange table option.
1，8m ultra-long working area. Long chassis plates finished in one clamping without repositioning
2，Optimized cutting process package for automotive high-strength steel & aluminum alloy, clean cutting edge with minimal dross.
3，Exchange table enables simultaneous cutting and loading, greatly improves productivity.
4，Integrated fume extraction system with full enclosure to meet workshop safety and environmental standards.
Achievements
✅ Long chassis components finished in one cut. Dimensional consistency improved, assembly rework reduced by 35%.
✅ Superior cut surface quality for high-strength steel and aluminum, less post grinding work.
✅ No mold required for new product development. Sample lead time shortened by 60% for fast model iteration.
✅ Continuous production via exchange table, production capacity increased by 40%, supporting 24-hour mass production.
✅ Stable machine operation. Compatible with Honeybee original laser consumables: nozzles, ceramic rings and protective windows, saving spare part cost for overseas clients.
