The Challenge of PROMOT Automation
PROMOT produces between 200 and 250 automated systems each year. Numerous different types of signs are required for the systems, e.g. information signs or data plates. Depending on the size of the system, up to a few hundred signs are needed, in exceptional cases even up to 1000 signs. In the beginning, the engraved signs were provided by external service providers. Due to the large number of information signs, the decision was made to manufacture them in-house.
"We opted for the Speedy Laser from Trotec because it offered the best price-performance ratio. The TroCare Service Package and the proximity of Trotec Laser also had a strong influence on our purchase decision. Since then, Trotec has proven to be the right choice for PROMOT."- Johannes Neubacher - Manager of Electrical Design at PROMOT -
The Trotec Solution
Initially, sign engraving was carried out using a mechanical engraving machine. Since 2016 Promot has been using a Trotec CO2 laser Speedy 360 for the manufacturing of signs, mainly using double layer synthetic laminate or anodized aluminum. For PROMOT this yields an average capacity of approx. 60% daily. The laser is operated by 10 people in total.
Easy operation for all users
The process flow is easy. The system planners at PROMOT Automation produce the requisite signs in their planning tool and send these directly from the program via print drivers to the laser. No additional software is needed. Besides that the requisite laser parameters are already recorded for all the materials used, thus making it easy for all users to operate the laser engraving machine.
Trotec Speedy Laser Engraver Series
The Speedy laser engraving and cutting systems are the perfect choice for first-time users as well as established laser users. The patented flexx technology™ allows endless possibilities with the Speedy laser.
