Use the extra strong adhesive for the TroLase ADA Signage so that the slate board is securely fixed.
Step by Step
Step 1: Slate board
Make your own design for the weekly planner or import our template. Adapt the graphic to the size of the slate board, if necessary.
Next send the job to the laser using the driver settings below.

Step 2: Laser process slate
Make the material parameter settings. The parameters can vary depending on laser machine and available laser power.
Tip:
Test the parameters on the back of the slate board.

Tip:
Before cutting, measure the thickness of the wooden sheet and adapt the kerf if necessary. Also make sure that the slate sheet fit into the wooden frame.
Step 4: Laser process wooden frame
Determine and enter the material parameter settings. The parameters can vary depending on laser machine and available laser power.

Info:
We used the standard parameters in JobControl for TroLase ADA Signage optimized for quality.
Step 7: Assembly
Position the slate board inside the wooden frame. This step is important because the wooden frame has to accommodate the size of the slate. This prevents the wood from being distorted later.
Next glue the back of the TroLase ADA Signage to the slate and wood. This process does not have to be extremely precise. Our design leaves sufficient "wiggle room" for positioning the back plate.
Finally, position the signage mounts, and the weekly planner is finished.
Inspirations
Personalize the weekly planner for your customers. Use different dimensions, shapes and designs.
If you wish, you can use a cord to fix the planner on the wall instead of the signage mounting devices. In this case leave out the two holes on the bottom of the frame.
