Under the leadership of Panitan Kobkulsuwan, Thaisakol Group Co., Ltd. is proud to unveil the Light 5X 40V Vertical 5-Axis Laser Machining Center from OPMT at METALEX 2024. This cutting-edge machine promises to revolutionize Thailand's manufacturing industry with advanced technology and sustainable solutions.
Inspiration and Background
Panitan shared that the decision to bring this laser machining center to Thailand was driven by the desire to enhance production efficiency for local manufacturers. While laser technology is not entirely new, its high cost and limited capabilities have previously restricted its use. However, OPMT, a globally renowned innovator, has advanced this technology significantly, making it more accessible and practical for a wider range of manufacturers.
Key Features of Light 5X 40V
This laser technology surpasses traditional EDM methods with its remarkable speed—achieving 3.0 mm/min compared to EDM’s 1.2 mm/min—resulting in a 2-3 times faster production cycle. Moreover, it eliminates the need for consumables like electrode discs and wire, reducing operational costs substantially. Designed for user-friendliness, the machine requires minimal retraining for operators familiar with EDM systems.
Target Market and Applications
The Light 5X 40V is ideal for industries utilizing cutting tools made of PCD, PCBN, and CVD, including automotive, aerospace, and the 3C sectors (Computer, Communication, Consumer Electronics). These industries increasingly require tools capable of handling more abrasive and complex materials, making this laser machining center a perfect fit for their evolving needs.
Sustainability and Future Prospects
Aligned with sustainable manufacturing practices, the Light 5X 40V reduces the use of consumables, minimizing waste and lowering the carbon footprint. Panitan also highlighted OPMT's strong commitment to innovation, with over 54% of its workforce in R&D and more than 300 patents. This positions OPMT to deliver diverse, future-ready applications for the manufacturing industry.
Paving the Way for a Stronger Thai Manufacturing Industry
Following its debut at METALEX 2024, the Light 5X 40V Vertical 5-Axis Laser Machining Center from OPMT received overwhelming positive feedback from manufacturers across various industries. With cutting-edge technology and a focus on sustainability, Thaisakol Group remains committed to driving innovation and supporting Thai manufacturers. The company aims to continue introducing groundbreaking solutions to help elevate Thailand’s manufacturing industry to a global stage.
The launch of the Light 5X 40V underscores Thaisakol Group’s dedication to introducing groundbreaking innovations that empower Thai manufacturers to compete globally while promoting sustainable growth.
