JINAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 January 2026 – Bodor Laser, a global manufacturer of laser cutting solutions, has announced the launch of its SK Series High-Speed Tube Laser Cutting Machine, alongside the introduction of its new “Extreme Speed” concept for tube processing. The concept focuses on improving overall manufacturing efficiency by combining high-speed performance, structural stability, and intelligent automation across the production process.
The Bodor Laser SK Series High-Speed Tube Laser Cutting Machine
The SK Series is designed to operate reliably under high-speed conditions, delivering a maximum acceleration of 2.7G and a maximum rotational speed of 260 r/min. The rear chuck reaches position in 2.5 seconds, supporting rapid tube positioning and continuous cutting. According to internal testing, the system achieves up to 1.8 times higher processing efficiency at 2.7G compared with operation at 1G.
Precision is maintained through a laser head Z-axis speed of up to 60 m/min, supported by an upgraded adaptive following algorithm that enables fast and accurate height adjustment during cutting. The system also supports simultaneous loading and cutting, reducing tube loading time to approximately 8 seconds and increasing overall processing efficiency by more than 20%.
To ensure stability at high speeds, the SK Series features Bodor Laser’s proprietary arch-bridge structure. The three-dimensional triangular transmission design optimizes force distribution during rapid motion, improving mechanical balance and long-term stability.
The chuck system is manufactured from high-strength alloy materials and treated with advanced heat processing. Compared with the previous generation, positioning accuracy has improved by over 20%. In addition, front-chuck over-travel technology enables dual-chuck clamping for long tubes, ensuring consistent accuracy throughout the entire cutting process.
Addressing the industry’s shift toward small-batch, high-mix production, the SK Series integrates an AI-based intelligent nesting system that automatically optimizes cutting paths. Compared with conventional nesting methods, the system increases cutting efficiency by up to 30% and improves material utilization, resulting in annual savings of more than 1,000 tubes under comprehensive production conditions.
Optional configurations—including zero-tail cutting, bevel cutting, and loading and unloading following support—allow the SK Series to be adapted to a wide range of advanced manufacturing requirements. With the Extreme Speed concept, Bodor Laser aims to set new benchmarks for efficiency and reliability in tube laser cutting.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 January 2026 – Vincom Retail Joint Stock Company officially introduces Vincom Collection, a curated commercial town brand line developed as a next generation multi-experience model, located within Vinhomes’ mega urban developments and key tourism destinations nationwide.

Vincom Collection brings together commercial towns managed by Vincom Retail, developed through a systematic investment approach in architecture, spatial design, master planning, and operational standards. Each development within the Vincom Collection portfolio contributes to the creation of a distinctive commercial destination, defined by a carefully curated mix of brands and sectors, and positioned as a signature experience of each mega urban area and renowned tourism destination.
In its initial phase, Vincom Collection is set to develop a total commercial and service land bank of nearly 300 hectares, distributed across major locations such as Ocean City, Vinhomes Global Gate, Vinhomes The Gallery, Vinhomes Green Paradise, and Vinpearl Harbour, alongside a series of upcoming projects featuring diverse architectural styles and product formats.
For each commercial town, Vincom Retail will establish a dedicated thematic concept aligned with local lifestyles and cultural characteristics. These include commercial towns, culinary villages, themed markets, night streets, integrated entertainment, sports, and golf complexes, as well as wellness, spa, and healthcare models. The unique value proposition of Vincom Collection compared to conventional commercial towns lies in its open and inspiring spatial model, seamlessly interwoven with continuously updated cultural and contemporary creative experiences, delivering some of the most compelling and refreshing experiences for both residents and visitors.
Alongside its mass market commercial destination portfolio, Vincom Retail is also developing Vincom Collection Premium, a product line tailored to affluent and high end customer segments, with elevated standards in architectural design, landscape planning, and a strong emphasis on uniqueness and differentiation.
With the launch of Vincom Collection as its fifth product line, alongside Vincom Mega Mall, Vincom Center, Vincom Plaza, and Vincom Plus, Vincom Retail continues to reinforce its position as Vietnam’s leading retail real estate developer. The new brand line underscores Vincom Retail’s pioneering role in shaping next generation experiential trends while contributing to the overall growth and transformation of the domestic retail market. Through Vincom Collection, both domestic and international brands will have opportunities to expand and scale across vibrant destinations, extending beyond traditional retail and food and beverage to include operators in entertainment, sports, healthcare, culture, and education. Partnership models are designed to be flexible, ranging from leasing to joint operations or investment-led development, with the aim of optimizing operational efficiency and enabling the implementation of business concepts with depth and long term potential.
According to the plan, Vincom Collection projects will be rolled out in phases, with initial openings expected from 2026 and continued expansion through to 2030 across multiple key provinces and cities. The launch of Vincom Collection marks a strategic breakthrough by Vincom Retail in developing a modern commercial town model closely integrated with experience-driven consumption and urban lifestyles, in response to the increasingly diverse demands for shopping and leisure.
