When a manufacturing plant needs speed, precision, and flexibility — the “standard” laser cutter doesn’t always cut it. The GH Series by G·WEIKE belongs to a different class. It’s built to tackle large-scale, heavy-duty sheet metal and plate cutting jobs — from thick steel plates for agricultural machinery to stainless-steel chassis cabinets for electronics enclosures.
Because GH Series machines combine high-power fiber laser sources (up to 12-15 kW and beyond) with generous bed sizes (e.g. 4000 × 2000 mm, 6000 × 2500 mm and larger) they handle jobs that smaller cutters simply can’t: large-format panels, long chassis parts, structural components, heavy machine housings.
What this means for a workshop or factory: one GH machine can replace multiple smaller cutters — and significantly reduce bottlenecks in production.
Key application fields
Agricultural, construction & heavy machinery manufacturing
Large machines often require thick steel plates — frames, chassis, structural panels. GH Series excels here. Thanks to its high-power laser (12 000 W or more), it can cut through thicker plates cleanly and precisely, making it ideal for agricultural equipment bodies, loader frames, heavy-duty metal supports, construction-machine components.
The robust heavy-duty work bed and stable gantry ensure minimal deformation — critical when large metal components must keep strict tolerances.
Structural metal fabrication and metal enclosures
Think chassis for electronics, storage cabinets, metal housings, industrial cabinets, enclosures for machinery, HVAC housings. GH Series can cut large sheet panels with high precision and produce consistent, clean edges — essential when panels must fit together perfectly or when multiple parts are welded afterwards.
For stainless steel, aluminum alloys, galvanized sheet — GH’s fiber laser handles them all. That versatility suits fabrication shops servicing sectors from electronics housings to architectural metalwork.
Heavy-duty industrial manufacturing: machinery, processing equipment, OEM components
Heavy machinery manufacturers, food-processing equipment makers, large-scale plant builders — they often need precise, repeatable metal parts, pipe and sheet components, housings, supports, brackets. GH Series delivers repeat positioning accuracy (~± 0.02 mm) — enough for tight tolerances demanded by industrial specifications.
Also, for companies retrofitting or upgrading existing plants: large-format fiber lasers allow them to produce replacement parts or new components in-house, reducing reliance on external subcontractors.
Mixed-material metal shops needing flexibility & throughput
GH Series isn’t limited to mild steel. Due to fiber laser technology, it can cut stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, even some non-ferrous alloys — offering a “one-stop” solution for shops dealing with varied commissions (e.g. custom enclosures, metal art, architectural elements, industrial frames).
This flexibility makes it especially valuable for workshops with fluctuating demand — quick changeovers, varied lot sizes, prototypes + series.
Why GH Series stands out — the practical advantage
- Large format handling: Bed dimensions up to 6000×2500 mm (or higher for bigger models) enable cutting full-size panels or long structural parts without segmentation.
- High power = thick-plate capability: With up to 12 kW (or more, depending on model), GH Series can process thicker steel/aluminum plates — essential for structural or heavy-duty components.
- Repeatability and precision: Positioning accuracy ~ ±0.02 mm ensures parts consistently meet tight tolerances — advantageous for serial production, component batches, assemblies needing accurate fit.
- Versatility of materials: Works with a wide range of metals — stainless, carbon steel, aluminum, galvanized sheet, brass and more. Good for shops with mixed-material orders.
- Industrial-grade construction: Heavy welded bed, aerospace-grade aluminum gantry, robust mechanics — built for long-term heavy workloads without deformation.
Where GH Series fits in a production ecosystem
For a manufacturing facility that produces heavy machinery, structural metal assemblies, large-scale metal enclosures, agricultural or construction equipment — GH Series becomes the backbone of the cutting operations. It reduces reliance on outsourcing, speeds up turnaround, and increases quality control.
For metal fabrication workshops aiming to expand into larger orders or thicker-plate applications, GH Series offers a strategic upgrade: they can move from handling light fabrications to robust, heavy-duty contracts without changing tools or subcontractors.
For OEMs doing maintenance, spare-parts production or retrofit jobs — having a high-power, large-format fiber laser in-house ensures faster replacements and greater control over quality.

GH Series as a strategic production asset
GH Series from G·WEIKE isn’t just a laser cutter — it’s a versatile, heavy-duty fabrication engine. For workshops or factories that deal with heavy metals, large panels, thick plates, or a wide variety of materials, it offers flexibility, precision, and throughput.
Integrating such a machine means reducing external dependencies, ramping up internal production capabilities and tackling bigger projects with confidence.
From agricultural equipment to industrial housings, heavy-duty machinery to custom enclosures — GH Series is the kind of industrial asset that transforms what you can produce in-house, and likely pays itself off quickly if applied in the right sectors.
