Leeco Steel Orders 50 kW Fiber Laser Cutting System for TX Facility
November 1, 2025
Leeco Steel purchased a high-powered 50 kW fiber laser cutting system that willbe able to cut up to 4" thick steel plate.
Leeco Steel, a supplier of steel plate, has announced the purchase of a high-powered 50 kW fiber laser cutting system from Cutlite. The new system will be installed at Leeco's Alvarado, TX, facility later this year as part of the company's ongoing investment in advanced processing capabilities.
The addition of the 50 kW Cutlite laser marks a significant step forward in Leeco's processing initiative, enabling the company to cut steel plate up to five times faster than traditional plasma systems. The machine offers high precision, achieving tolerances as tight as +/- 0.005" on plate parts up to 1" thick, and +/- 1/32" or better on thicker materials up to 4" thick. It can also process smaller internal features and holes as small as a quarter of the material thickness.
"Our customers are increasingly looking for suppliers who can do more than just deliver raw material," said Denton Nordhues, President and CEO of Leeco Steel. "They need a partner who can augment their business with ready-to-fabricate parts. Our investment in the 50 kW laser is a direct response to that evolving market demand. By providing greater precision and expanded capabilities, we are simplifying our customers' supply chain and deepening the partnerships that are essential to both of our successes."
In preparation for the machine's arrival, Leeco is making additional upgrades to its Alvarado facility to help ensure seamless integration and efficiency that matches the laser's cutting speed. These changes will support faster turnaround times and improved quality across a broader range of applications.
