On September 22, 2025, as a key event on the opening day of the EMO Hannover machine tool exhibition in Germany, the "Pioneer of Industry Award Ceremony," jointly organized by JVMA and Germany's Vogel Communications Group, was grandly held at the Hannover Exhibition Center. This award aims to recognize outstanding Chinese enterprises in their global expansion.

The D-SOAR series ultra-high power fiber laser cutting machine from DNE Laser won this prestigious international award, thanks to its exceptional technological innovation and market performance. This is not only a recognition of the D-SOAR product itself but also an affirmation of the growing influence of "Chinese Smart Manufacturing" in the global market. The D-SOAR series' ability to stand out among 32 participating companies is closely tied to its outstanding performance in stability and its capability to create significant economic benefits for customers.

Technical Breakthrough: Chinese Innovation Under European Craftsmanship Standards

Mortise and tenon welding structure, aviation-grade aluminum integrally formed cast crossbeam, proprietary core optical patent cutting head—the D-SOAR series ultra-high power fiber laser cutting machine became one of the shining stars on the stage of the Pioneer of Industry Award due to its exceptional stability and innovative technology.

In terms of core technology, D-SOAR is equipped with a proprietary core optical patent cutting head， which can enhance the utilizable laser beam energy, optimize the beam mode and beam quality,and further expand the cutting performance and stability of the machine.

D-SOAR's innovation is also reflected in its detailed design: The independent dust extraction channel design is not only energy-saving and environmentally friendly, avoiding smoke-filled environments during production, but also powerfully extracts fumes and dust, effectively extending the service life of machine parts. The sensor-equipped sliding door design makes maintenance, inspection, part picking, and servicing more convenient.

These technological innovations collectively form the core competitiveness of D-SOAR, enabling its wide application in numerous industries such as power electrical, automotive manufacturing, mechanical equipment, electrical appliances, advertising signage, and sheet metal fabrication, and even extending to high-precision fields like aerospace and shipbuilding.

Efficiency Revolution: Redefining Laser Cutting Productivity

The D-SOAR series laser cutting machines have achieved a leap in production efficiency through technological innovation. High-power models have brought about a qualitative breakthrough in processing capability. One customer, after introducing a combination of 20,000W models, saw the batch cutting thickness for carbon steel increase from 25mm to 60mm, meeting the thick plate processing demands of large projects like the Qingdao Metro and Jiaodong International Airport.

Economic Benefits: Creating Sustainable Value for Customers

D-SOAR is centered around the core principles of "enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring quality," delivering quantifiable economic benefits to metal processing enterprises. With deep integration of high-power lasers and automated units, coupled with automatic loading/unloading and intelligent nesting functions, it not only significantly boosts the cutting speed of medium and thin plates but also enables 24-hour continuous production with just one operator, achieving over three times the efficiency of traditional equipment. Additionally, intelligent nesting reduces material waste, while automated operations cut labor costs by more than 60%. The highly stable structure further minimizes downtime due to malfunctions, further lowering long-term maintenance expenses.

In terms of quality, the equipment ensures cutting precision and reduces scrap rates through real-time monitoring and high-rigidity machine tools. Its compliance with environmental standards and adherence to European manufacturing benchmarks help enterprises overcome high-end market qualification thresholds and secure high-value-added orders.
