The Mazak Super Turbo-X48 Champion is a CNC CO2 laser cutting machine from a series known for dependable, straightforward flat-sheet cutting in fabrication and job shop environments. This unit was built in December 2008 and is equipped with a Mazak YB-L130A 8M CO2 laser resonator rated at 1,300 watts, controlled by the Mazatrol Preview CNC. The machine is designed for standard 4' x 8' sheet processing, with a maximum workpiece size of 98.4 x 49.2 x 0.47 inches (2,500 x 1,250 x 12 mm) and a maximum load capacity of 661 lbs. Axis strokes are X 105.7 / Y 50.0 / Z 3.9 inches (2,685 / 1,270 / 100 mm) with a rated rapid traverse of 945 ipm, giving the cutting head full coverage of a 4' x 8' sheet. The Mazatrol Preview console gives the operator dedicated keys for laser power, shutter, high voltage, discharge, and assist gas, alongside jog, rapid, and feed override controls and on-machine program management. The Super Turbo-X48 Champion runs on 230-460V 3-phase power and weighs approximately 27,600 lbs, a rigid base for a gantry-style CO2 laser serving sheet metal fabrication, enclosure and panel work, brackets, and general job shop cutting.
Compared with the earlier Mazak New Turbo-X48, a 4' x 8' CO2 laser that ran the older Mazatrol L-32B CNC, the Super Turbo-X48 Champion moves the same proven sheet format onto the later Mazatrol Preview control platform. The New Turbo-X48 established Mazak's 4' x 8' laser footprint with similar travels; the Super Turbo-X48 Champion builds on that layout with a newer-generation control, a 1,300 watt YB-L130A resonator, and a 2008 build, so buyers get a more current machine in a sheet format their material handling and nesting already support. For a fabrication shop stepping up from an older Turbo-X series laser, this machine offers a familiar Mazak layout with a meaningful advance in control technology and machine age.
