iQ-Series from Kjellberg - the new generation of industrial CNC plasma cutting
New generation plasma cutting for demanding manufacturing
Today's metalworking industry expects more than fast cutting of sheet metal. What matters is a predictable cutting process, repeatable parts, reduced downtime and integration into modern production environments. That's why Kjellberg is developing iQ-Series, a solution designed to be the next generation of plasma cutting for plants focused on productivity, automation and superior quality.
iQ-Series is an advanced plasma source designed for environments where plasma cutting must remain fast, stable and predictable. It's also a response to the growing demands of the digitization of manufacturing and the Industry 4.0 concept.
Thanks to its modular design, the series can grow with the needs of the enterprise, and integration with modern CNC systems makes the solution well suited to the development of smart factories.

Why iQ-Series is the solution of the future
What is iQ-Series and why is it a step forward?
iQ-Series is a state-of-the-art plasma cutting system developed by Kjellberg, designed for demanding industrial environments. The solution enables precision plasma cutting, high-quality hole, contour and bevel cutting.
This is more than just another unit, however. The iQ-Series represents a step forward towards intelligent manufacturing, where automation of the cutting process, data monitoring and parameter control are as important as the power of the machine itself.
In practice, this means:
-
greater control over production parameters,
-
steadier cutting process,
-
predictable wear and tear on components,
- Easier integration into the digital production environment.
iQ-Series - the new generation of plasma cutting in practice
The new generation of plasma cutting today means not only a higher power parameter. Above all, it means greater process control and intelligent operation management.
The iQ-Series enables:
-
precise contours and high-quality holes thanks to Q-Hole technology,
-
labeling and marking of material,
-
bevel cutting,
-
real-time monitoring of process data,
-
Increased process stability and improved consumable utilization.
In the modern CNC plasma environment, not only speed matters, but also cutting precision and reducing production waste. That's why Kjellberg is developing quality-enhancing technologies and intelligent monitoring functions.

andQ-Series is an extension of the proven Q-Series, offering greater automation, better process control and broader integration into modern manufacturing environments. In practice, this means more predictable cutting, higher operating stability and greater readiness for the demands of Industry 4.0.
Kjellberg plasma systems a superior cutting quality
Industrial plants increasingly expect more than just power from their systems. They need solutions that guarantee the highest cut quality, reduce errors and support predictable production.
Kjellberg plasma systems are designed to deliver stable results even under heavy use. Digital parameter control allows you to monitor consumables in real time, plan for replacements and reduce unnecessary downtime.
The Kjellberg plasma systems are designed to be easy to use.
This approach directly improves cut quality, reduces scrap and increases process stability.
IQ-Series plasma aggregates - model comparison
| Model | Max. cutting current | Application | Production capacity | work intensity |
| iQ 1500 | 150 A | precision cutting and marking of thin and medium materials | standard | standard |
| iQ 1500 Plus | 150 A | more demanding cutting processes and greater application flexibility | higher | stadium/intensive |
| iQ 3000 | 300 A | more demanding cutting processes and greater application flexibility | high | intense |
| iQ 3000 Plus | 300 A | advanced processes, greater automation and mass production | very high | multi-shift |
| iQ 4500 | 450 A | heavy industrial applications and very thick materials | maximum | continuous 24/7 |
Available plasma units allow you to select a configuration according to the type of production, expected productivity and level of automation. In practice, this means that the process can be scaled up as the plant grows.
The key parameter remains maximum cutting current, which affects the ability to work with thicker material and the efficiency of the entire process.
Automated cutting and Industry 4.0
One of the most important trends in modern manufacturing is the automation of cutting and the integration of process data into the digital factory environment.
iQ-Series supports the tenets of Industry 4.0 by offering performance monitoring, component wear prediction and real-time data integration capabilities. As a result, automation of the cutting process ceases to be an add-on, and becomes a standard that increases productivity.
IQ-Series is a great way to improve productivity.
This is especially important where complex CNC systems are in operation and any downtime means a real cost.
Kjellberg system integration and modern plug-and-play technology
A big advantage of the series is the easy integration of the Kjellberg system into modern production environments.
Support for communication protocols and plug-and-play architecture allow for faster deployment of equipment and easier expansion of production infrastructure. For companies investing in plasma CNCs, this means a more flexible, agile plasma system and greater readiness for future business needs.
Technologies to improve the quality and development of Kjellberg plasma systems
The German leader's product development does not end with the iQ-Series. The manufacturer's portfolio also includes solutions such as HighFocus, Kjellberg Focus 70, Contour Cut, Contour Cut Speed and Silent Cut, which have supported the development of plasma cutting technology and improved performance over the years.
Thanks to this plasma aggregate manufacturer has consistently developed technologies that improve the quality and efficiency of industrial cutting. In practice, this means better process stability, greater predictability and continuous improvement in cutting quality.
Why iQ-Series is the solution of the future?
Modern CNC cutting industry requires more than just an efficient power source. What matters is predictability, process data, cutting automation, integration capabilities and full control over production.
Kjellberg plasma systems fit the needs of modern plants with a combination of high performance, intelligent monitoring and solutions that support full automation.
This is why the iQ-Series is seen as the new generation of plasma cutting - ready for the challenges of modern manufacturing and developments in line with Industry 4.0.
