Initially equipped with a CO₂ laser, Borderland has expanded its production capabilities and now specializes in laser cutting, bending, sheet rolling, and welding for clients in the agricultural and architectural sectors. With a 2,000-square-meter facility and 20 employees, the company’s transformation gained momentum when it invested in an Eagle’s iNspire 20kW 2040 fiber laser. *“The Eagle laser has been transformative for us,”* says Alex Hofer, Operations Manager at Borderland. *“It allowed us to more than double our capacity while running around the clock with fewer staff.”* ## From Hours to Minutes: Production Transformation *“We found that our production was staying behind and we needed to upgrade”*, tells Hofer. *“We were looking for something that was going to increase our production and create the least amount of headaches for us, something that was solidly built and was gonna last us a long time.” * When they first came across advertisements for the Eagle laser, its high-power capabilities quickly drew their attention; it was unlike anything they had seen before. Up until that point, they had only used a 5-kilowatt CO₂ laser. After researching further, they found that a 20-kilowatt Eagle laser could replace two or even three CO₂ lasers, making the decision to invest in Eagle a straightforward one. ![machine](https://lp.eagle-group.eu/hubfs/borderland/machine.webp "machine") ![workers](https://lp.eagle-group.eu/hubfs/borderland/workers.webp "workers") *“We first heard about Eagle at Fabtech. We found online that it had a very good website, very knowledgeable. We liked that a lot. We could also email Eagle and send them test parts, and they would cut them and send us videos back. A very user-friendly experience”.* One of the most striking differences between CO₂ lasers and Eagle’s fiber laser technology is cutting speed. Borderland saw a staggering reduction in production time with the Eagle iNspire 2040. For example, cutting a 10mm steel sheet previously took up to two hours, but now it’s down to just 20 minutes. *“The impact on timing and costs has been huge,”* Hofer explains. *“This speed has not only improved our efficiency but also helped us meet tight deadlines with ease.”* ## Automation and Increased Capacity In addition to speed, the Eagle’s cutting head automation options, such as automatic centering and nozzle changing, have added efficiency and reliability to the production line. *“The iNspire lets us work across different material types and thicknesses—from 1mm up to 40mm—without the delays and adjustments we faced before,”* Hofer adds. *“The movement speeds up to 6G  and the MyEMIX technology were also big selling points for us. That was something that nobody offered at that time as well.”* To further optimize their productivity, Borderland incorporated Eagle’s CraneMaster, which has enabled continuous, 24-hour operation. *“With the CraneMaster, we’ve gone from needing a full night shift to just one person on hand,”* says Hofer. *“This system keeps things moving smoothly and lets us meet high production targets with minimal supervision.”* Borderland’s operators appreciate the simplicity and durability of the CraneMaster. *“We regularly load up to 25 sheets without a hitch. It’s a solid piece of equipment that’s helped us keep the laser running at peak efficiency,”* Hofer notes. ![crane2](https://lp.eagle-group.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/borderland/crane2.webp?width=1920&height=1080&name=crane2.webp "crane2") Despite the high power of Eagle’s 20kW laser, its energy efficiency has been a pleasant surprise. *“It uses about the same power as our old 5kW CO₂ laser,”* Hoefer says. *“We’ve seen huge savings on electricity and gas, which adds to the overall cost-effectiveness of the system.”* This efficiency, combined with the Eagle’s speed, has significantly cut Borderland’s per-part production costs while boosting profitability across their projects. ## Exceptional Support and Ease of Use ![crane1](https://lp.eagle-group.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/borderland/crane1.webp?width=1920&height=1080&name=crane1.webp "crane1") For Borderland, the move to Eagle was not only about technology but also about service and support. *“The Eagle service has been exceptional from day one,” s*ays Hofer. *“Their MyESP program lets us send service requests directly from the machine, which means fast resolutions for any issues. Our team feels well-supported, and that level of reliability is invaluable.”* The Eagle’s ease of use has also been a significant benefit. *“The layout is intuitive, and training new operators takes just a few hours. We’re used to different laser machines, but the Eagle is by far our favorite,”* Hofer comments. This simplicity in operation has allowed Borderland to onboard new team members quickly and maintain high production levels without interruption. ## A Path Forward with Eagle Technology With its high-powered precision, energy efficiency, and reliable service, the Eagle laser has set a new standard for Borderland’s operations. *“We’ve grown our production capacity and can take on more ambitious projects thanks to the Eagle laser,”* says Hofer. *“It’s more than a machine; it’s a partnership that’s reshaped our business.”* For companies looking to enhance production and profits, Hofer has one piece of advice: *“I’d recommend Eagle to anyone serious about scaling up and improving efficiency. It’s made a significant impact on our business, and I’d choose it again in a heartbeat.”* ![parts](https://lp.eagle-group.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/borderland/parts.webp?width=1920&height=1080&name=parts.webp "parts") ## Contact us [![25346212.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.nethub25346212hubfslogowhite](https://lp.eagle-group.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/25346212.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.nethub25346212hubfslogowhite.png?width=80&height=53&name=25346212.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.nethub25346212hubfslogowhite.png "25346212.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.nethub25346212hubfslogowhite")](http://www.eagle-group.eu) **EAGLE SP z o.o.** **ul.
