Our Part Sorting Laser Automation Services

Automation-ready laser systems, integration planning, and expert support for efficient cut-part handling and scalable fabrication workflows.

Automation-Ready Lasers

Configure Piranha CNC fiber laser equipment with future material loading and unloading automation in mind, helping your shop expand production capacity without replacing its core cutting machine.

Fiber Laser Cutting

Use high-performance PlateLASER technology with a rigid polymer granite base, linear motors, and up to 12 kilowatts of power for fast, precise sheet processing.

Lifecycle Support

Keep automation and cutting operations moving with U.S.-based technical assistance, remote diagnostics, operator training, maintenance guidance, and same-day shipping for in-stock spare parts.

Scalable Shop Automation

Build a Smarter Part Flow

Part sorting laser automation supports a more connected fabrication workflow by reducing manual touchpoints after cutting and preparing your operation for higher-volume production. Piranha fiber lasers are built with automation in mind, so you can add material loading or unloading capabilities as needs grow. The result is a practical investment in repeatable output, cleaner workflow coordination, and production capacity that can evolve with your shop.

"Being able to have a brake that’s programmable … has cut down our setup time. You just pop in your program and you go. That’s fantastic. That’s what we’ve learned from our … operators using it. It’s turned out really well. I would recommend [a Piranha press brake]."

Chad Stetler

"The speed is fantastic for the price point. We looked at water jet and laser tables. [The Piranha plasma table] is literally one tenth the price. The edges on the finished product – there’s almost no deburring required because the edges are still smooth, straight from the cut. The fineness..."

"Piranha gave us the easiest, quickest programming ability, with the most variable options [...] That is what really led me down the road to work with them full-time. Their price was good. The service that they offered for training I thought was outstanding compared to the other options."

"It saves time and money, mostly from the elimination of processes […] I can do stuff with my laser that a lot of people can’t do."

Meet the Piranha Team

Fabrication expertise from selection through long-term production support.

Piranha began in 1974 when Harry Oswald and Bob Brown created an ironworker to solve a real production challenge at their foundry. That practical, fabricator-first mindset still guides the company today. From its Illinois roots in Belvidere and Rockford, Piranha has grown into a U.S. manufacturer serving fabrication shops and OEMs throughout North America. The company expanded beyond its original ironworker into a broad lineup of metal fabrication and thermal cutting equipment, while integrating the longstanding W.A. Whitney and Bertsch brands. For part sorting laser automation, Piranha brings decades of experience across the shop workflow—helping customers select scalable equipment, improve material and part movement, train operators, and maintain reliable output as production demands change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is part sorting laser automation?

Part sorting laser automation is a production approach that helps move, separate, stage, or route laser-cut parts after processing, reducing the manual handling required between cutting and downstream operations. It is typically paired with CNC fiber laser equipment and may include automated loading or unloading as production needs grow. The goal is more consistent part flow, less interruption, and better use of skilled labor.
