The C Series is presented as a fully enclosed platform for precise sheet-metal cutting, designed for safer production and straightforward operation. The listed features include a protective enclosure, automatic matching of cutting parameters, maximum acceleration up to 1.5G and a five-year warranty on Bodor's three core laser components.

Automation, bending and fabrication equipment

Alongside laser cutting, the company supplies automation and handling systems intended to raise output and reduce manual handling. The catalogue names the Bodor K Loader, T Trans, iLoader Eco, iLoader, iTower, iTransTower and iTrans automatic loading systems.

• Press brakes: Bodor Bend and eBend, including all-electric bending solutions for repeatable sheet-metal production.
• Handheld fibre welding: the Bodor HandHeld Welder Air1200 and Pro1500 for welding across varied workspaces.
• Deburring machines: automated edge rounding and surface finishing for laser, plasma and punched components.
• CNC grooving: servo-driven systems for consistent grooves in sheet metal.
• Used machinery: inspected pre-owned CNC equipment and stock machines for faster deployment.

Specification, installation and training

World Machinery structures its support around the full life cycle of the equipment. The process begins with application advice and cutting trials to match power, bed size, automation and process requirements to real production needs. It continues with delivery, installation and commissioning, covering the handover from machine arrival through calibration and first production.

Operator training is provided to help production teams run the machines confidently, safely and efficiently. The company also offers preventive maintenance plans with scheduled checks and service contracts, breakdown support and spare parts through UK-based technical staff, and assistance with relocation, trade-in and upgrades when capacity needs change.

Demonstrations and finance

Live demonstrations of Bodor fibre laser cutting machines take place at the Shropshire showroom, where materials, power, bed size, automation, finance and support can be discussed with the team. The company also advertises UK-wide delivery and flexible finance.

On funding, it lists VAT deferral options, payment terms from 12 to 84 months, no-deposit options subject to approval, competitive rates and flexible repayments, with packages matched to the business requirements.

Customer installations

The site names several UK manufacturers among its installations, including Sumac Precision Engineering, Mode Lighting, 3343 Ltd, FabTech, Benweld Secure and BT Lerson. It attributes to these customers shorter cycle and lead times, cleaner and more consistent output, and lower waste and running costs. Quoted comments from Mike Robson of Sumac Precision Engineering, Phil Grady and Mr Ye-Ming Shum of 3343 Limited, and Andrew Morris of Mode Lighting describe added production capability and productivity gains following the investment.
