Thaisakol Group Launches Light 5X 40V Vertical 5-Axis Laser Machining Center From OPMT Brand
Thaisakol Group Co., Ltd., has launched a new product, the Light 5X 40V Vertical 5-Axis Laser Machining Center from the OPMT Brand, at the recent METALEX 2024. The launch of the Light 5X 40V is yet another important step that demonstrates the Thaisakol Group’s commitment to introducing innovations in helping Thai entrepreneurs to be able to sustainably compete in the global markets.
Mr. Panitan Kobkulsuwan, Director of Thaisakol Group Co., Ltd., stated that importing this laser machine to Thailand aims to enhance production efficiency for Thai entrepreneurs. Its high-precision, fast laser technology not only helps reduce costs but also overcomes challenges by resolving limitations found in traditional cutting tool sharpening methods. Backed by OPMT, a world-class leader in innovation, this technology provides a significant step forward for the industry.
The standout feature of the Light 5X 40V is its laser technology, which outperforms traditional EDM by being 2-3 times faster (3.0 mm per minute vs. EDM’s 1.2 mm per minute). This increased efficiency not only saves workspace but also reduces production time and lowers consumable costs such as electrode discs and wires. Furthermore, the machine is user-friendly and ideal for operators familiar with EDM systems.
This machine can respond to the needs of industries using PCD, PCBN, and CVD Cutting Tools, such as the automotive, aerospace, and 3C (Computer, Communication, Consumer Electronics) industries, which require tools that can support workpieces with difficult-to-form properties.
OPMT has an efficient Research and Development Team with over 300 patents which reflects that it is potentially capable to create new technologies that meet the future of the manufacturing industry as well as having a production concept that meets the needs of the sustainability by reducing the use of consumables and reducing the carbon footprint of energy used in the productions.
