⚡ PRECISION ENGINEERING MEETS CLEAN TECHNOLOGY! VECTOR FL130 INSTALLED AT THE SALTER CENTRE, SCOTLAND!
We're particularly pleased to share this latest installation, with one of our popular Vector FL130 Fibre Laser Cutters, configured with a 3kW laser source, now fully installed and commissioned at The Salter Centre in Loanhead, near Edinburgh.
This is an especially interesting installation for us, given the work taking place at The Salter Centre.
Founded by Professor Stephen Salter, the centre brings together engineers, researchers and innovative businesses working on some genuinely important challenges, from renewable energy and industrial decarbonisation to sustainable technologies and climate repair.
Alongside supporting engineering innovation, the centre is also committed to developing practical engineering skills through education and hands-on learning.
It's exactly the sort of environment where access to capable, reliable manufacturing technology can make a real difference.
A powerful addition to the workshop.
The Vector FL130 offers a versatile combination of cutting performance and a manageable footprint, making it particularly well suited to engineering environments where precision, flexibility and efficient use of workshop space matter.
This particular installation features:
✅ 3kW fibre laser source for precision cutting across a range of metals.
✅ 1300 × 1300 mm cutting area, providing flexibility for engineering components, prototypes and production parts.
✅ Fully enclosed cutting system with integrated extraction provisions.
✅ Autofocus cutting head for consistent cutting performance.
✅ V-CUT touchscreen control system, providing straightforward machine operation and control.
Our experienced Mantech fibre laser engineers have completed the installation, commissioning and operator training, ensuring the team has the knowledge and support needed to get the most from their new equipment.
And that support doesn't end with installation. With dedicated UK-based engineers, ongoing technical assistance and a 24-month warranty, we're committed to supporting the machine throughout its working life.
A genuine thank you to everyone at The Salter Centre for choosing Mantech.
It's a pleasure to supply machinery to an organisation supporting engineering innovation, practical learning and the development of technologies that could make a meaningful difference.
We're looking forward to seeing how the Vector FL130 contributes to the work taking place there.
