Accurate Laser recently opened its second subcontract laser cutting company in the UK. The success of its quick turnaround, small batch manufacturing facility in the West Midlands has led to the replicating of this business model in Leeds. Growth is anticipated and investment in a TruLaser 3030 is seen as an essential component in the future success of the business.

This is the company's first TRUMPF machine.

According to Accurate Laser, the piercing time on the TruLaser machine is up to four times faster during pulse piercing. This translates to three seconds instead of 12 seconds on some material.

"Small hole quality is better with TRUMPF too," says Accurate Laser's commercial director Jon Till "We tested out a 6mm mild steel part with 3mm holes. This job would have been almost impossible with existing equipment but with the 5kW RF TRUMPF laser, the result was perfect."
