Good news stories from the manufacturing sector are always welcome but even more so when it relates to a regional area that has suffered with high unemployment in recent years. Traralgon based DJN Switchboards is one such case. Established in 1994 by David Nabulsi and his wife, this specialist manufacturer of switchboards and switchrooms took advantage of the latest in pressbrake and fiber laser technology to boost their capabilities and efficiencies in this area.

Fiber laser cutting is becoming the leading process for the cutting of metals, including brass and copper. The reason for that is because fiber lasers provide high throughput, high quality, precision, and accuracy of the cuts, flexibility in part design, as well as maintenance-free, stable production process.

The new Yawei HLE & HLF fiber lasers have earned a reputation for high performance, coupled with a value for money price point. Sam Harris (General Manager – Ace Wire Works) first saw the Yawei at the Applied Machinery stand at Austech 2017 and compared the features with various other laser cutters in the market. The Yawei isn’t the cheapest fiber laser in the market, but in terms of value for money, it’s a clear leader.

The population in Australia has been steadily increasing over the past few years, with international inbound migration comprising a majority of this growth.

Nonetheless, Australia is one of the biggest consumers of electronics in the world, which adds up to 600,000 tonnes of e-waste annually.
