Laser Source Supplier in India - Raycus, Max & Reci
A fiber laser source is the power unit that generates the beam your cutting or welding machine delivers to the workpiece. On this page you'll find genuine Raycus, Max and Reci fiber laser sources from 1.5 kW up to 20 kW - covering everything from a compact handheld welding setup to a high-power sheet-metal cutting line. We supply these units to fabricators, machine builders and OEMs across India, with stock held in Ahmedabad and dispatched nationwide.
Genuine Sealed Units · 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty · GST Invoicing (GSTIN 24AFSFS3212F1Z2) · Ahmedabad Stock · Pan-India Delivery
Cutting and welding place different demands on a source, so the range is split into two groups. Our fiber laser cutting sources span 1.5 kW to 20 kW - the higher the power, the thicker the plate and the faster the cut - while the laser welding sources sit in the 1.5 & 3 kW band for handheld and automated welding. Every unit we list is a sealed, branded module, not a refurbished or grey-market import, and ships with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
If you're matching a source to a machine you already own, the things that actually decide compatibility are output power, fiber core diameter, connector type (QBH or QD) and the control interface. Our team confirms these before you order, so you don't end up with a unit that won't talk to your controller.
We supply laser sources to machine builders, OEMs, fabrication companies and industrial manufacturers across Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Surat, Pune, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Ludhiana, Chennai, Vadodara and all major industrial cities in India.
What is a fiber laser source?
A fiber laser source produces its beam by pumping light through a doped optical fiber, amplifying it into a high-intensity, single-wavelength beam at around 1064 nm. That beam is carried to the cutting head or welding gun through an armored fiber cable. Compared with older CO₂ lasers, fiber sources turn far more electrical input into usable beam power, run with very little maintenance and hold a stable beam over long shifts - which is why almost all new metal cutting and welding machines sold in India are now fiber-based.
Cutting source vs welding source: which do you need?
They are not interchangeable. A cutting source is built for continuous, high-power output to pierce and cut sheet and plate - the higher the wattage, the thicker the material and the faster the cut. A welding source runs at lower power with beam control suited to fusing joints cleanly, and it's what pairs with a handheld laser welding gun. If your machine cuts, browse our laser cutting sources; if it welds, see the welding source range. A few high-end systems do both, but for most shops the choice is clear.
How much power do you need?
Output power is the single biggest factor in both price and capability. As an approximate guide for mild steel:
| Source power | Typical use (mild steel) |
|---|---|
| 1.5 kW | Handheld welding; thin-sheet cutting up to ~3 mm |
| 2 & 3 kW | Welding plus general cutting; sheet up to ~8 & 10 mm |
| 6 kW | Faster mid-range cutting; plate up to ~20 & 25 mm |
| 12 kW | Heavy-duty cutting; thick plate at high feed rates |
| 15 & 20 kW | Maximum throughput; thick plate cut at the fastest production speeds |
Real capability depends on the material, assist gas, nozzle and optics, so treat these as starting points rather than guarantees. Tell us your material and thickness and we'll suggest the right power band.
Raycus, Max or Reci?
All three are genuine, widely used fiber laser brands. Raycus and Max each cover both jobs - their cutting sources run to 12 kW and 20 kW respectively, and both also make welding sources up to 3 kW - while Reci focuses on cutting. The right one depends on the job, the power you need and the budget.
| Brand | Known for | Power on this page | Good fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raycus | Stable output, wide service network in India | Cutting 1.5 & 12 kW; welding 1.5 & 3 kW | Cutting or welding with strong local support |
| Max | Widest range and the highest power here | Cutting 1.5 & 20 kW; welding 1.5 & 3 kW | Everything from value welding to heavy 20 kW cutting |
| Reci | High-value FC-series cutting sources | Cutting 1.5 & 12 kW | Cutting-focused shops after value |
Where these sources are used
Fiber laser sources sit at the heart of most modern metalworking lines. Common applications include:
- Sheet-metal fabrication and job-work cutting units
- Automotive and ancillary component manufacturing
- Furniture, kitchen and stainless-steel equipment
- Signage, metal art and architectural work
- Heavy engineering and structural fabrication
- Machine builders and OEMs (new builds and retrofits)
How to choose the right source
- Confirm the job - cutting or welding - and the material and maximum thickness you need to handle.
- Pick the power band from the guide above (1.5 kW for handheld welding through to 20 kW for the heaviest cutting).
- Check the physical fit with your machine fiber core diameter, connector type (QBH/QD) and the control interface.
- Match the brand to your priorities - Raycus for its wide service network, Max for the highest power (up to 20 kW), Reci for value cutting.
- Confirm the 2-year warranty and that the unit is a genuine sealed module before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
The pump diodes in a fiber source are typically rated for around 100,000 hours of operation - often a decade or more of normal production use - and there are no moving parts in the beam path. Keeping the unit clean, properly cooled and supplied with stable power is what extends its life in practice.
Every fiber laser source we supply comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. This covers manufacturing defects and component failure under normal operating conditions. We also handle warranty claims and replacement coordination so you're not dealing with the manufacturer directly from a remote location.
It depends mainly on power and brand. Entry-level 1.5 kW welding sources start at around ₹1.5 lakh, while the highest-power 20 kW cutting sources reach the ₹35 lakh range. Current prices for each model are shown on its product page, and bulk pricing is available on quote.
For mild steel, 3 kW handles up to roughly 10 mm, 6 kW around 20 & 25 mm, and 12 kW thick plate at higher speed, with 15 & 20 kW available for the heaviest, fastest production cutting. Material type and assist gas change these figures, so share your job details and we'll recommend the right wattage.
A cutting source delivers high continuous power to pierce and cut metal. A welding source runs at lower power tuned for clean joints and pairs with a handheld welding gun. They are not interchangeable - choose the one that matches what your machine does.
Usually yes, provided the power, fiber core diameter, connector (QBH/QD) and control interface match. Send us your machine and controller details and we'll confirm compatibility before you order.
Yes. We are based in Ahmedabad and dispatch genuine, warranty-backed sources across India - including Rajkot, Surat, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Ludhiana, Chennai, Vadodara and everywhere in between - with GST invoicing on every order.
Raycus, Max and Reci are all well-established brands with a strong installed base in India. Raycus has the widest service network in India, making it a safe choice if local support matters. Max covers the broadest power range up to 20 kW. Reci offers strong value for cutting-focused applications. The best brand depends on your power requirement, machine type and after-sales support needs in your city.
