Built with a unique ground-level rail system, the Colossus sets a new standard for vibration-free performance by anchoring the machine directly to the shop floor. This design choice not only enhances cutting accuracy but also allows the system to bear the weight of multiple thick, heavy metal sheets without compromise, improving safety and simplifying material handling for large-format stock.
A fully enclosed gantry, complete with proximity light shields, contains the laser beam and protects both operators and onlookers from harmful light radiation. Paired with an advanced fume extraction system, the Colossus ensures a cleaner, safer environment even during the most demanding jobs.
The EMP Colossus is not only powerful, but also purposefully modular. Each segment of the cutting table is designed to isolate vibration and promote expansion. As your production needs grow, new modules can be added to extend the system's total length up to 72 feet. This allows you to expand capacity over time without replacing the entire machine, making it a smart investment for facilities that plan to grow.
The modular approach also simplifies long-term maintenance. Continuous exposure to high laser heat can gradually deform cutting table surfaces. With the Colossus, you do not need to overhaul the entire platform. Individual sections can be replaced easily, reducing downtime and keeping your operation efficient and accurate. This independent design makes the Colossus a future-ready asset that stays sharp, stable, and reliable year after year.
The EMP Colossus is equipped with an advanced follow-up fume extraction system that targets fumes at the source, right where the laser meets the metal. Instead of relying on a large enclosure, the system creates a focused stream of air that runs parallel to the gantry, pulling fumes away from the cutting area in real time. This directional airflow captures smoke and particulate before it spreads, keeping the work zone clear and safe for your staff.
Localized extraction significantly reduces the volume of air that needs to be processed. This means better containment of hazardous fumes, less energy wasted on high-capacity suction, and no need for an oversized industrial dust collector. The result is a cleaner work environment, lower operational costs, and a safer, more compliant facility without the overhead of overbuilt ventilation systems.
The EMP Colossus offers optional beveled cutting capabilities for fabricators who need more than just a straight edge. With up to 45-degree bevels achievable in V, X, Y, and K configurations, this feature expands your cutting potential for weld prep, joint geometry, and part fit-up. Whether you’re working on structural components, pressure vessels, or custom assemblies, the bevel unit adds high-value versatility without compromising speed or accuracy.
Built for thick plate cutting up to 8”, the Colossus is equipped with a robust Boci laser head designed specifically for heavy-duty work. Integrated sensors continuously monitor lens temperature and alert the operator when it is time to replace the protection window. The head is also water cooled, ensuring stable thermal conditions that extend lens life and maintain cut quality over extended shifts. This combination of power, precision, and intelligent monitoring delivers solid results you can count on.
The gold standard in laser performance, IPG sources deliver consistent power, exceptional cut quality, and unmatched reliability. Their robust design minimizes maintenance, ensuring uninterrupted operation even in the most demanding industrial environments.

Built for durability and longevity, the M7 is an energy-efficient solution that maximizes performance while reducing operational costs.
Boci laser heads are built for precision, efficiency, and durability, making them a standout choice for high-performance laser cutting. Featuring advanced autofocus, the BOCI head automatically adjusts cutting height for clean, consistent results across materials. Its breakaway design protects the head from collisions, reducing the risk of damage and downtime.
This high-precision motion system combines Hiwin’s low-friction linear rails with YYC’s backlash-free rack and pinion for smooth, stable cutting. Built from high-quality materials, both deliver reliable accuracy and long-lasting durability, even under high-speed conditions.
Hiwin’s smooth, low-friction motion ensures accurate positioning and consistent performance, even at high speeds, while its rigid construction enhances longevity and reduces maintenance. Complementing this, YYC’s hardened rack and pinion system provides high-speed, backlash-free movement, ensuring clean, precise cuts with every pass. Built from high-quality materials, both components maximize efficiency, reliability, and cutting accuracy, making them essential for any precision-driven laser cutting operation.
