With its laser projection systems, SL Laser GmbH of Traunreut, Germany, meets the needs of its customers for greater speed, higher precision, and optimized costs and production processes. The versatile laser systems are used worldwide in the construction industry and in the production of prefabricated parts. Their ease of use, fast set-up times and robustness have made them indispensable tools for many companies.
In woodworking and other applications, the material must be aligned and straight. To simplify this process, a line laser from SL is a visual aid for the operator to get the material cut in the right way. This helps to save material and cost in production. This is the same process as for trimming logs and boards. In this case SL Laser has some different models as you can imagine the dimensions are bigger or longer in this case.
The use of these alignment lasers are successful for different industries Maybe you need to do an alignment in the textile industry, e.g. when you need a starting position, like a fence. Another use of alignment is if people have to stay within the green or red line boundary as a safety tool. For the cross lasers, SL Laser has different performances and can create different dimensions for the cross. Some of the operators use the cross lasers to show the edges and to have a starting point. Another application is to use the cross laser above the machine head of a CNC router to drive the head to certain positions. There the cross lasers show the operators where to put the vacuum cups. This saves a lot of vacuum cups from being destroyed by the machine and saves the machine or the drill part.
In addition, SL Laser’s alignment lasers can be customized to meet specific needs. The laser modules use a highly visible red or green laser beam controlled by proven electronics. All positioning lasers are available in different power classes that affect the distance and size of the display. The compact and rugged housing of the lasers is electrically isolated. The units have a constant output power that is maintained over a wide range of operating temperatures.
As with all laser systems from SL Laser, the positioning lasers are optimised for use in industrial applications — this means companies can rely on a robust design and tested suitability for everyday use. The positioning lasers are resistant to many external influences and have a long service life. The precision of the positioning lasers meets the demands the company places on all its products.
