Built for heavy plate production
The LF 1320 is built for plants that process plate by the ton: hull and deck plate, heavy equipment frames and booms, rail car sills, structural members and large plate for service centers. A 13' x 20' bed takes plate up to 13' wide and 20' long, so nests run at full size and long parts come off in one piece.
At 60 kW it cuts carbon and stainless steel up to 3-1/8" and aluminum up to 2-3/8". Add the 3D bevel head and weld-prep bevels are cut in the same program as the part, so plate goes from the bed to fit-up without a second operation. For parts longer than 20', the LF 1340 runs the same 13' width on a 40' bed that extends in 20' sections.
The LF 1320 shares the HypCut 8000 control and Piranha cutting head with the FLEX series, so programming and training carry across a mixed LASER fleet. Piranha installs, trains and supports it from Belvidere, Illinois.

What fits on a 13' x 20' bed
The LF 1320 cuts on a 13' x 20' bed: 260 sq ft (24.2 m²) of cutting area, about 5 times a 5' x 10' sheet.
The LF 1320 adds 3' of width over the LF 1020 on the same 20' bed. That takes a 12'-wide (144") plate, or a 10' plate with room to spare along the edge, without moving to a 40' footprint.
| Sheet or plate | On the bed at once | Layout |
|---|---|---|
| 4' x 8' | 6 | 3 across, 2 long |
| 5' x 10' | 4 | 2 across, 2 long |
| 8' x 20' | 1 | One full plate |
| 10' x 20' | 1 | One full plate |
| 8' x 40' | — | Needs a 40' bed: LF 1340 (13' x 40') |
| 10' x 40' | — | Needs a 40' bed: LF 1340 (13' x 40') |
Counts use nominal sizes with whole sheets laid square in one direction. Your rep confirms the exact cutting area and nesting for your parts on the quote.
Production cutting thickness by LASER power
Size the resonator to the plate you run every shift, not the occasional one-off. Where two power levels list the same maximum thickness, the higher kW cuts that plate faster.
| Power | Carbon steel | Stainless steel | Aluminum | Cutting speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 kWFast | 1-3/8"35 mm | 1-3/8"35 mm | 1-3/16"30 mm | Fast |
| 20 kWFaster | 2"50 mm | 1-3/8"35 mm | 1-3/16"30 mm | Faster |
| 30 kWVery fast | 2"50 mm | 1-3/8"35 mm | 1-3/16"30 mm | Very fast |
| 40 kWUltra fast | 2"50 mm | 2"50 mm | 1-9/16"40 mm | Ultra fast |
| 60 kWFastest | 3-1/8"80 mm | 3-1/8"80 mm | 2-3/8"60 mm | Fastest |
Production thickness with the standard assist-gas setup. Cutting speed is a relative comparison between LF power levels on the same plate. Ask your rep for cut-time estimates on your own parts.

LF 1320 FAQ
What should we ask any large format laser supplier before we buy?
Five questions worth asking every supplier, and how Piranha answers them:
- Who installs it and trains your crew? Piranha's own U.S. team.
- Where does service come from? Belvidere, Illinois.
- Will they review your parts before you buy? Piranha reviews your part files and nests against the bed and power you are considering.
- Is maintenance scheduled and documented? The Preventive Maintenance Program covers two visits a year with on-site calibration and documentation.
- Will it match the rest of your fleet? The LF runs the same HypCut 8000 control and Piranha cutting head as the FLEX series.
How big is the LF 1320 cutting bed?
13' wide by 20' long (3.96 x 6.10 m). That holds plate up to 13' wide and 20' long, or 20' parts in one piece.
How many 5' x 10' sheets fit on the LF 1320 bed at once?
Four, laid 2 across by 2 long on the 13' x 20' bed, using nominal sizes. Your rep confirms the exact layout for your parts.
Can the LF 1320 cut a full 10' x 40' plate?
No. The LF 1320 has a fixed 20' bed, so a 40' plate needs a 40' bed. The LF 1340 takes a full 10' x 40' plate on the same 13' width.
Can the LF 1320 bed be extended?
No. The LF 1320 has a fixed 20' bed. For longer parts, the LF 1340 has a 40' bed that extends in 20' sections.
Which LASER power should we choose?
Size it to the plate you run every shift. 12 kW cuts carbon and stainless up to 1-3/8"; 20 and 30 kW cut carbon up to 2"; 40 kW cuts carbon and stainless up to 2"; 60 kW cuts carbon and stainless up to 3-1/8" and aluminum up to 2-3/8".
Can the LF 1320 cut weld-prep bevels?
Yes. The 3D bevel cutting head is an option on the LF 1320 and cuts weld-prep bevels in the same program as the part.
What does installation require?
Your proposal lists footprint, weight and electrical service sizing (460 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz), along with gas and dust collection requirements. Piranha installs the machine and trains your operators and programmers.
How is the LF 1320 supported?
By Piranha's U.S. service team in Belvidere, Illinois. The Preventive Maintenance Program adds 1, 2 or 3 years of scheduled visits, two a year, with full system inspection, on-site calibration and documentation, and priority scheduling.
What is the difference between the LF 1320 and the LF 1340?
Bed length. Both are 13' wide. The LF 1320 has a fixed 20' bed; the LF 1340 has a 40' bed that can be extended in 20' sections.
