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."
