Since the advancement of fiberoptic and optoelectronic technologies, the machinery industry has benefited within the last decade from the creation of technologies such as the Fiber Laser. Originally intended for communication and transport applications, the reliability, compactness, cost and quality of advantages of Fiber Lasers have made them highly adopted in industries ranging from materials processing to medicine throughout North America, Europe and China over the traditional Solid State Lasers.

Intermach 2013 will be the first opportunity in Southeast Asia to view actual Fiber Lasers as well as meet and discuss opportunities directly with three manufacturers:

• Swiss based Bystronic, which will debut their BySprint Fiber 3015 3000Kw, which boasts high position and repetition accuracy
• Turkish based ERMAKSAN, which will demonstrate the flawless cut quality, high efficiency and high cutting capacity of their New Fibermak laser
• Italian based Salvagnini, which will debut their second generation Salvagnini Fiber laser model L3

"The significance and impact of the introduction of this technology in Southeast Asia is tenfold," says INTERMACH Director Sanchai Noombunnam. "On one hand, we are very proud to act as the conduit for change for Southeast Asia by offering first to debut technologies such as fiber lasers to our visitors so that they have more manufacturing options to consider to enhance the efficiency and quality of the goods they manufacture; which on the other hand, ultimately benefits Thailand and Southeast Asia."

In terms of why manufacturers' choose INTERMACH as a launch platform, Bystonic Senior Vice President Daniel Nauer recounts, "Sheet Metal Asia 2013 suits Bystronic's needs in exhibiting in a dedicated and organized exhibition gathering of the sheet metal industry. The professionalism of the organization suits our brand slogan 'Best choice.' We are presenting as 'premiere' in South East Asia, two new high technology machines, one laser cutting machine and one hydraulic press brake."
