Woodworking/CNC

Machining Centers – You’ve made a big investment in CNC manufacturing – why not get the most out of it? An SL-Laser ProDirector laser projector takes the time and guesswork out of setups and changeovers, keeping your machine moving and reducing scrap. Quickly and accurately place pods and fixtures to the laser light, then place your material to the projected part profile – it couldn’t be easier! Using a laser projector frees you from pinstops and allows you to nest small parts anywhere on the table to optimize your tool paths and run more parts in each nest. Make entire stile and rail entry doors in one run. Accurately “reintroduce” previously contour-cut parts for secondary edging operations.

The laser accurately shows the tool path so you can place smaller blanks precisely. Using smaller blanks both saves material costs and reduces off-cut waste disposal costs. Projecting pod locations greatly reduces the chances of costly tool/pod collisions. Pod collisions are more than just the cost of the pod - factor in the ordering cost, transit times, production delays or stoppages, the miscut workpiece and any damage to the bit or the spindle – it’s a very expensive mistake that doesn’t have to happen. Sometimes a single prevented accident could pay for the investment of a laser projector.

Windows Muntin Bar Assembly - Maintaining proper spacing and layout when assembling custom windows muntins is a time consuming challenge. Following build sheets and hand measuring layouts makes for slow, clumsy production. The ProDirector projections system from SL-Laser takes the paper out of the process and speeds production, reducing piece labor costs. Workers follow the green laser light pattern to place the muntins in place – no measuring, no reading layout sheets. Layout design files are queued to the production sequence so the assembler only has to click a remote control to move to the next image. Complex custom designs are no more difficult than simple layouts when you’re assembling to a laser light template, even for an untrained worker. Increase production, decrease labor and training time, and simplify custom layouts with SL-Laser.

Others Prelabeling Nested Sheets – Labeling parts after the nest is cut can be a confusing and sloppy operation. Is the part a left or right side? Where should the label be positioned? Will the label even stick to the dusty part? Eliminate all of these questions by prelabeling sheets with an SL-Laser projection system before they get to the CNC router – without any additional labor costs. While one nest is running on the router, the next is being labeled on a staging table by the machine operator reducing idle labor time. The operator can precisely affix labels to a clean sheet of material by following the green laser light – no mess, no confusion!
