Fiber Laser Cutting · 19 min readMost laser buying decisions come down to one question asked the wrong way round. Buyers ask “how thick can this machine cut?” when the question that determines whether the investment pays back is “how thick can this machine cut repeatably, at a cost per metre I can quote against?” Those are two different numbers, and…

Press Brakes · 26 min readA press brake is a machine tool that bends sheet metal and metal plate with measurable precision — pressing a punch into a die to produce permanent, controlled bends that form the structural and aesthetic components of almost every metal product in manufacturing today. The global press brakes market was valued at $568.1 million in…
News · 1 min readA delegation of more than 30 members from Dutch Metalworking Association（NEVAT） visited ACCURL for a factory tour on April 15. Our company attached great importance to this event, making meticulous preparations and providing warm and thoughtful hospitality to our guests. With bursting fireworks and a lively lion dance performance, the event officially commenced. The resounding…
Laser Cutting · 25 min readA laser cutting machine can cost as little as $300 or as much as $600,000 — and understanding why that gap exists is exactly what separates a smart purchase from an expensive mistake. The price you pay depends on four variables above everything else: laser technology type, output power measured in kilowatts, working table size,…
Laser Cutting · 15 min readLaser cutting kerf is the strip of material a focused laser beam vaporises as it travels through a workpiece, and its width decides whether your finished parts assemble cleanly or end up as scrap. In production fabrication, kerf widths typically sit between 0.08 mm and 1 mm — small numbers that compound fast. A 0.1…
Fiber laser cutting differs from plasma cutting in its fundamental energy delivery mechanism: laser cutting concentrates photonic energy into a spot as small as 0.1 mm at a power density of 10⁶–10⁹ W/cm², while plasma cutting uses an electrically ionized gas jet operating at 20,000–30,000°C to melt and erode electrically conductive material. That distinction —…
Fiber laser cutting differs from CO2 laser cutting in its lasing medium and wavelength: fiber lasers emit at 1.064 µm using rare-earth-doped optical fiber, while CO2 lasers emit at 10.6 µm using an electrically excited gas mixture — a 10:1 wavelength ratio that determines everything from material compatibility to cutting speed. Both technologies apply that…
· 21 min readA press brake differs from a general-purpose hydraulic press in function and precision: a press brake is a purpose-built machine for bending sheet metal to exact angles using a punch-and-die system, while a hydraulic press is a versatile forming platform designed for compressive operations like stamping, deep drawing, and embossing. CNC press brakes achieve positioning…

Laser Cutting · 21 min readIn simple terms, laser cutting power determines your machine’s ability in achieving precise cuts across various materials. Power is directly related to other laser cutting parameters like cutting speed, precision and kerf. The power setting must be set to the specific material and project to ensure you achieve the best performance. Modern laser cutters power…

The article showcases how SM Thompson, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, has expanded capacity and achieved next-day lead-times…
Press Brakes · 50 min readIf you’ve ever had a press brake throw off your bend angle or leave a part just slightly out of spec, you know how fast small problems can turn into big ones. These machines aren’t just hunks of metal, they’re the heartbeat of your shop. Whether you’re bending flanges for HVAC ducting or forming brackets…
· 28 min readIf you work with press brakes, you already know they’re built for power, but that power comes with risk. These machines are responsible for over 368 amputations each year in the U.S., according to Department of Labor data. And most of those injuries? They happen during tool changes, part alignment, or box bending, right at…
Laser Cutting · 23 min readImagine a technology that slices through metal with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel, that’s laser cutting for you. In this high-tech process, not just any assist gas will do; we’re zeroing in on nitrogen laser cutting today. While oxygen and compressed air are commonly employed, let’s turn our spotlight on nitrogen. Why nitrogen, you…
Laser Cutting · 28 min readJust like any machine tool, a laser cutter needs care if you want it to keep performing at its best. We’ve seen it time and time again: great machines brought down by small, avoidable issues, dust-clogged fans, fogged-up lenses, coolant that’s way past its prime. The truth? Most laser cutting failures don’t come out of…
