TẾ NAM, TRUNG QUỐC – Media OutReach Newswire – Ngày 03 tháng 02 năm 2026 – Bodor Laser, doanh nghiệp toàn cầu chuyên cung cấp giải pháp cắt laser, vừa chính thức ra mắt máy cắt laser ống tốc độ cao dòng SK, đồng thời giới thiệu khái niệm mới mang tên “Siêu tốc” dành cho lĩnh vực gia công ống. Khái niệm này nhấn mạnh việc nâng cao hiệu quả sản xuất tổng thể thông qua sự kết hợp giữa hiệu suất tốc độ cao, độ ổn định của kết cấu máy và tự động hóa thông minh trong toàn bộ quy trình sản xuất.
Máy cắt laser ống tốc độ cao dòng SK của Bodor Laser
Dòng SK Series được thiết kế nhằm đảm bảo độ tin cậy khi vận hành ở tốc độ cao, với gia tốc tối đa 2,7G và tốc độ quay tối đa 260 vòng/phút. Mâm cặp sau chỉ cần 2,5 giây để hoàn tất định vị, đáp ứng yêu cầu định vị ống nhanh và duy trì quá trình cắt liên tục. Theo thử nghiệm nội bộ, hiệu suất gia công mà hệ thống đạt được cao hơn tới 1,8 lần ở mức gia tốc 2,7G so với khi vận hành ở mức 1G.
Tốc độ trục Z của đầu laser lên tới 60 m/phút giúp duy trì độ chính xác, kết hợp với thuật toán theo dõi thích ứng tiên tiến, cho phép điều chỉnh chiều cao một cách nhanh và chính xác trong quá trình cắt. Hệ thống cho phép vừa nạp ống vừa cắt, rút ngắn thời gian nạp ống xuống còn khoảng8 giây và tăng hiệu suất xử lý tổng thể hơn 20%.
Để duy trì độ ổn định ở tốc độ cao, dòng SK được trang bị kết cấu cầu vòm độc quyền của Bodor Laser. Thiết kế truyền động tam giác ba chiều giúp phân bổ lực hợp lý trong quá trình chuyển động nhanh, từ đó nâng cao độ cân bằng cơ học và đảm bảo độ ổn định bền vững trong thời gian dài.
Hệ thống mâm cặp được chế tạo từ vật liệu hợp kim cường độ cao và trải qua quy trình xử lý nhiệt tiên tiến. So với thế hệ trước, độ chính xác khi định vị tăng trên 20%. Ngoài ra, công nghệ hành trình tăng cường mâm cặp phía trước cho phép kẹp hai mâm khi gia công ống dài, giúp duy trì độ chính xác ổn định trong suốt toàn bộ quá trình cắt.
Nhằm đáp ứng xu hướng sản xuất quy mô nhỏ với nhiều chủng loại, dòng SK được tích hợp hệ thống xếp phôi thông minh dựa trên AI, cho phép tự động tối ưu hóa đường cắt. So với phương pháp xếp phôi truyền thống, hệ thống này nâng cao hiệu suất cắt lên tới 30% và nâng cao hiệu quả sử dụng vật liệu, giúp tiết kiệm hơn 1.000 ống mỗi năm trong điều kiện sản xuất toàn diện.
Cấu hình tùy chọn — bao gồm cắt không đuôi, cắt vát, và nạp và xả phôi kèm giá đỡ theo sau — giúp dòng SK đáp ứng được nhiều yêu cầu sản xuất tiên tiến khác nhau. Với khái niệm Siêu tốc, mục tiêu mà Bodor Laser đặt ra là thiết lập được những chuẩn mực mới về hiệu suấtvà độ tin cậy trong công nghệ cắt laser ống.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 February 2026 – Liver cancer is one of the three deadliest cancers worldwide, and metabolic dysfunction-related cases have become increasingly common in recent years. A research team from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has identified a protein secreted by fat cells that promotes cancer growth and has successfully developed a novel antibody that neutralises this protein, marking a significant breakthrough in impeding the progression of liver cancer. The research findings have been published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Prof. Terence Lee, Associate Head and Professor of the PolyU Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, and his research team have developed a novel antibody targeting the adipocyte-derived protein FABP4, offering a new approach to treating metabolism-related liver cancer.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), commonly known as fatty liver disease, currently affects around a quarter of the global population and is an important risk factor for liver cancer. In affected individuals, fat cells induce insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, leading to excessive fat accumulation in the liver. This ultimately impairs liver function and may progress to liver cancer. Treatment options for MASLD-induced liver cancer remain limited and the effectiveness of current immunotherapies is suboptimal.
A breakthrough study led by Prof. Terence LEE, Associate Head and Professor of the PolyU Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, and his research team has revealed that an adipocyte-derived protein, known as fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a key driver that accelerates tumour growth. Through mass spectrometry, the team confirmed that patients with MASLD-induced liver cancer had markedly elevated FABP4 levels in their serum. Further investigations showed that FABP4 activates a series of pro-proliferative signalling pathways within cells, causing cancer cells to multiply and grow more rapidly.
Prof. Lee’s team has successfully developed a monoclonal antibody that neutralises FABP4. This antibody not only inhibits the growth and proliferation of FABP4-driven cancer stem cells, but also enhances the ability of immune cells to combat cancer.
Prof. Lee said, “This neutralising antibody against FABP4 demonstrates significant potential in inhibiting tumour growth and activating immune cells, providing a complementary approach to current immunotherapy strategies. Our findings highlight that targeting adipocyte-derived FABP4 holds promise for treating MASLD-induced liver cancer.”
Prof. Lee added that gaining deeper insights into how adipocyte-derived FABP4 affects liver cancer cells helps to explicate the disease mechanisms of liver cancer, particularly in obese individuals. Intervening in the relevant signalling pathways could provide effective methods to combat this aggressive malignancy.
Prof. Lee believes that, as this adipocyte-targeted immunotherapy continues to mature, it will bring more treatment options to MASLD patients. He remarked, “If its efficacy can be proven in clinical trials, it could offer new hope to many affected individuals.”
The research is supported by the Innovation and Technology Fund of the Innovation and Technology Commission of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. PolyU has filed a non-provisional patent for the developed antibody and is continuing to optimise its binding affinity to facilitate future clinical applications.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year (February 18), when the Harbour stages its grand fireworks display, the terrace offers an ideal vantage point to embrace the festive atmosphere. Diners can enjoy the dazzling spectacle up close in a spacious outdoor setting, framed by the glittering night skyline.
To celebrate the Year of the Horse, our culinary team is delighted to present a series of “Chinese New Year Selected Delicacies,” thoughtfully crafted to bid farewell to the old year and usher in blessings and joy for the new one.

Sautéed Prawns with Sweet and Sour Sauce — signifying happiness and good cheer
Homestyle Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables in Soy Sauce — wishing abundance year after year
Beyond the Lunar New Year festivities, Yung’s Bistro has curated a memorable Valentine’s special for couples. On February 14, we will present a “Lifetime of Love” Set Menu, priced at HK$1,314 per person — a symbolic gesture wishing for everlasting love. The menu is designed to celebrate romance:
