FOSHAN, China, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HSG Laser, a global manufacturer of intelligent metal fabrication equipment, officially launched the GT Series high-speed laser cutting machine, introducing what it calls a new generation of high-speed cutting technology for sheet metal fabrication.
As manufacturers face rising labor costs, tighter delivery schedules, and increasing pressure on productivity, traditional laser cutting systems are reaching the limits of conventional speed upgrades. According to HSG, true high-speed cutting is no longer defined simply by higher power or faster travel speed.
FAST: The Core behind High-Speed
"The future of high-speed cutting is not just about moving faster," said an HSG product manager. "It is about maintaining precision, stability, and long-term reliability at high speed. That is what GT was designed for."
The GT Series achieves linkage speeds up to 200 m/min through a fully coordinated motion system combining 2G acceleration and 8Hz low-pass filtering. Similar to the acceleration behavior of a high-performance sports car, the system allows the machine to enter stable high-speed cutting states almost instantly while reducing vibration during rapid directional changes.
ACCURATE: STRUCTURAL PRECISION BUILT FOR HIGH SPEED
To maintain precision under continuous high-speed operation, the GT Series adopts a fully annealed high-rigidity machine bed structure and a high-brightness small-core laser source, concentrating laser energy into a smaller focus area for faster and more accurate cutting.
FAST ROI: HIGH-SPEED PRODUCTIVITY THAT PAYS BACK
In practical medium and thin sheet processing applications, HSG reports that the GT Series delivers up to 45% higher cutting efficiency compared with conventional laser cutting systems under similar power configurations.
Beyond productivity gains, the GT Series is also designed to improve operating economics. HSG estimates customers can shorten equipment payback cycles by up to 31% through higher throughput, lower energy consumption, and optimized cutting efficiency. Reduced electricity and gas usage per part may also support manufacturers' carbon footprint reporting and ESG objectives.
HSG plans to accelerate GT Series deployment across global markets, positioning the GT Series as a benchmark for the next generation of high-speed laser cutting for industries such as electrical enclosures, kitchen equipment, energy storage, and sheet metal fabrication.

HSG Laser Introduces the All-New High Speed Metal Sheet Cutting Machine, Increasing Overall Efficiency Up to 45%
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 3, 2026, local time, a Shanghai-themed cultural exchange event was held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., bringing a taste of Shanghai to the U.S. Titled "Future Resonance — ShanghaiEye Night," the event was also part of the "Shanghai Let's Meet" city promotion initiative and a broader series of China-U.S. people-to-people exchanges. Through a variety of cultural activities and interactions, the event built bridges between people across the Pacific and offered a glimpse of Shanghai as an open, inclusive and dynamic international metropolis.
The event, held by Shanghai Media Group, brought together nearly 100 prominent figures from China and the United States across the political, business, technology, cultural and arts sectors. Song Jiongming, President of Shanghai Media Group, and Susan Lee, Secretary of State of Maryland, attended the event and delivered remarks. Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng was also in attendance.
In the afternoon, the National Mall was transformed into a "mini Shanghai" carnival. The carnival featured 50 stalls showcasing international cuisine, a "Shanghai Charm" themed exhibition area and displays of China's intangible cultural heritage.
Visitors got a glimpse of Shanghai's cutting-edge technological innovation through a model of the C919 passenger jet, explored the city's latest trends through a model of the Oriental Pearl Tower and popular Chinese cultural and creative IPs, and took a virtual journey through Shanghai's past and present with VR headsets provided by the Shanghai Museum. Time-honored brands such as White Rabbit candy, Hero fountain pens and Lao Feng Xiang offered visitors a taste of Shanghai's iconic homegrown brands. Meanwhile, an IP SHANGHAI lenticular art exhibition brought the city to life through dynamic images that changed as visitors moved around the displays.
From such an immersive experience showcasing Shanghai as a first stop for international visitors entering China to distinctive IPs spanning culture, commerce, tourism, sports and exhibitions, the carnival offered Americans and international visitors a glimpse of the city and a chance to experience Shanghai firsthand at one of Washington's most iconic landmarks. Many visitors said they hoped to visit Shanghai in person and explore the city on foot through a "city walk."
As the sun began to set, its golden glow fell over the Capitol dome. Against an iconic backdrop featuring the two cities, the "Future Resonance" outdoor concert got underway.
Young performers from China and the United States took the stage alongside renowned artists from both countries. The One Voice Children's Choir from the United States and the Manhattan Philharmonic joined forces to perform "We Are Together," a song created in Shanghai to celebrate friendship between the two countries.
The program featured a rich mix of symphonic works, traditional Chinese music, Chinese opera and anime music. Footage from Shanghai's city image film "UP! SHANGHAI" played on the large screen behind the stage throughout the concert.
Later that evening, nearly 100 guests from China and the United States, including prominent figures from politics, business, technology, culture and the arts, took part in the ShanghaiEye Night dialogue session.
Themed "Invest in China for a Win-Win Future," the dialogue highlighted the China International Import Expo and Shanghai's development as an international economic, financial, trade, shipping and technological innovation center. It also showcased the city's world-class business environment and provided a platform for high-level dialogue and practical cooperation between Chinese and U.S. companies.
The dialogue also featured a "Shanghai Charm" city image reception area. On one side, twenty selected historical photographs capturing key "Shanghai moments" in China-U.S. relations were displayed, including the signing of the Shanghai Communiqué, the launch of the first China-U.S. air route, the opening of Apple's first store in China, the Tesla Gigafactory and the 10th anniversary of Shanghai Disney Resort.
On the other side, 20 photographs from the IP SHANGHAI platform, under the theme "Chasing Dreams in Shanghai," showcased Lujiazui Financial City, Yangshan Deep-Water Port, Shanghai Grand Opera House, the North Bund shipping hub, and the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek. Together, the displays offered guests a visual introduction to the city and created lasting memories of Shanghai.
With the support of the Information Office of the Shanghai Municipal Government and co-hosted by Shanghai Media Group, the World Intangible Cultural Heritage Conservation Center and the Washington Chinese Community Alliance, the event brought together guests from a range of sectors in China and the United States.
The event brought Shanghai closer to American audiences and the international community through city promotion, cultural performances, interactive experiences and high-level dialogue. It also provided a platform for people-to-people and cultural exchange between China and the United States. Reflecting the theme "Future Resonance," the event hoped to give a warm and positive boost to people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
