As a quick show recap, we showed our large format machine, the Speedy 500, for the first time this year, which always proves to be a show stopper! With the Speedy 500 we displayed the amazing capabilities of the i-Cut Vision System, which is how we flawlessly cut out these fun monster applications! Check out the video on cutting acrylic to see it in action!

SGIA Expo put on another amazing show, we are very excited to see everyone next year at SGIA 2012 in Las Vegas!

If you couldn't make a laser selection at the show, your local sales representative will be in contact with you shortly to assist you in finding the perfect laser for your application and budget! In the meantime if you have any questions please email  or call 866-226-8505!

Tips & Tricks: Using Markers in JobControl

Our unique JobControl Software offers multiple features that provide functionality, productivity, flexibility, and reliability to the engraving, cutting, and marking process!

Today, we are going to highlight the "Markers" and how you can use them as an aid for laser processing!


This feature is especially beneficial when identical items need to be engraved with different designs, as it guarantees the engraving position is precisely defined in advance with each application.


Markers can be added in various ways:
  • You may define an exact position of the marker (as shown in the video) by inserting the proper coordinates of where you're positioning the material. When the crosshairs appear, the job can be placed in the center of or either corner of the crossharis. Watch the Video of how it works!
  • Add the marker to a job that is already positioned on the plate, (Marker to the Job).
  • Add the marker to the equivalent position of where the laser head is currently located, (Marker to the Laser).
If you haven any questions or would like to learn more about our JobControl Software  contact our technical support department our your local representative.
