Cincinnati Inc. Introduces a New Fiber Laser, the CLi

Cincinnati Inc. (CI) has introduced the CLi, describing it as “a high quality fiber laser with a compact footprint and compact price.”

In the name “CLi,” the “i” stands for “introductory.” CI said it intended for the machine to be “an ideal starting laser that has all the functions necessary for shops that want to make parts rather than outsource.”

“If cost-effectiveness is the goal, the recommendation used to be that you should pick up a used CO2 laser,” said Troy Wilson, CNC table products product manager. “But with the CLi, you can get a new fiber laser for the price of a used CO2.” He added that the CLi’s “capabilities and reliability are a whole lot higher.”

The CLi has an HMI control and dual screen, Windows-based interface. The 5′ × 5′ table is in a machine that has a 10′ × 11′ footprint.

“The CLi lets OEMs that don’t need a lot of sheet metal, control their own destinies,” Wilson said. “You get your own 5′ × 5′ that builds parts when you need them, so you don’t have to wait weeks or months for those same parts.”

CI (Harrison, OH) is a manufacturer of machine tools.
