State-of-the-art laser cutting
powered by sophisticated software
Achieve leading-edge laser cutting
Material Manager
The material manager checks the placement of the parts that need to be cut. Besides, you can create your own vector files using the many automatic drawing tools available. In addition, material effect tools can be used to assign specific cutting information to an outline prior to cutting, resulting in an accurate cut each time again.
Cutting composer system
A fully integrated database facility for the storage of designs. Retrieval of stored designs is possible via design name, customer, category, reference, description or even keywords. The system is standard included with all laser cutters. It incorporates the ideal accompaniment to the Laser cutting machines to ensure maximum productivity.
Pinpoint camera technology
The intelligent camera technology of the laser system quickly scans the material's registration marks, allowing to compensate for any deformations and stretches that occur in unstable rolls of textile. When the laser-cut pieces exit the machine, they will be perfectly cut, according to the design.
Vision Trace
Instead of loading your cut files, the Vision trace system continuously scans the outlines of the design and automatically creates the cutting vector, needed for the job. Then, the laser cutter will start to cut while the material is fed. This way, continuous cutting is secured, even when the conveyor is moving, saving you a considerable amount of time.
Opto cut
The Optical Recognition software uses a small video camera on the laser cutter head to detect registration marks on the material. Consequently, any distortion of the material is compensated which will give accurate and flawless cutting results.
Engraving Software Module
The laser engraving software works with the L Series and FB Series, enabling images or vectors to be laser engraved onto fabric and other materials at very high speed. Whether it be leather, denim or polyester, especially the FB Series is truly versatile, enabling to reproduce each design with great precision.
