Add software control to your new Laser cutter

Cutting covers a broad range of hardware and software, but lasers provide the most versatile cutting blade, enabling your finishing show to create Print & Cut acrylics, paper, film or cardboard products with minimal fuss or software experience.

Trotec Laser produces JobControl Vision control software, which takes output files from Adobe Illustrator, InDesign or Corel Draw in order to seamlessly integrate cutting with the design process.

The Vision module uses registration marks to determine the position and rotation of printed sheet material on the working area of the laser. Additionally, any distortions - linear or non-linear - in the printed graphics are recognized with the intelligent JobControl® Vision camera.

By applying sophisticated mathematical algorithms the system compensates for the detected print distortions and adjusts the cutting path dynamically to match the artwork. No matter if flexible or rigid materials.

The registration marks are printed along the image. The camera - which is attached to the working head - “reads“ the registration marks prior to the cutting process and compares the “read” positions on the printed design and the target positions in the original cut file.

Any deviations are adjusted automatically. There is no need for manual alignment which speeds up your production and costly miscuts on large final quality prints can be avoided. This guarantees a perfectly cut end product.

Bi-directional communication is one of the main advantages of JobControl®. This means that the software "speaks" to the laser - you always know the position of the camera and laser head on the working area. It is displayed on your PC's screen. The connection of bi-directional communication and the USB-camera is patent pending.
