SL-Laser Prodirector 7, Over Head Projector

In an era where precision is not just a requirement but a benchmark for quality, the SL Laser projector system stands out as a notable advancement. Designed as an overhead projector solution, this innovative tool integrates computer-controlled operations with advanced software, enhancing the standards of accuracy.

Utilising a powerful green line laser, available in 5mW as standard and optionally in a 15mW version, the unique software included with the SL-Laser allows the programmer to position the suction cups on the CAD drawing and to project clear, sharp guidelines directly onto the bed of the machine.

The laser pinpoints the position of all the suction cups on the table simultaneously enabling fast and accurate positioning of all the suction cups and workpieces in one movement. As well as increasing set up efficiency an overhead projection laser improves safety for the operator by eliminating the need to enter and exit the machine to position each suction cup in turn.

CDK Stone can retrofit an SL-Laser to existing CNC machines. Other benefits include avoiding costly collisions and damage to the suction pods, as well as potentially reducing tool usage.  

Key Features of the SL-Laser Prodirector 7 

  • Integrated Software Solution: The system works with CDK Stone’s SeKON software, as well as other CAM software, and is designed to seamlessly integrate with CNC machines. This software facilitates the precise positioning of tools and stone pieces according to CAD drawings.
  • Safety and operational Efficiency: With the ability to project the position of all necessary pods simultaneously, the overhead laser enables operators to set up their CNC machines quickly and accurately. This streamlined setup process reduces downtime between operations, allowing for more projects to be completed in less time.
  • Retrofitting Capability: One of the standout features of the SL-Laser Prodirector 7 is its adaptability to various machine types. It can be retrofitted to most existing CNC machines in stonemasonry, providing an upgrade in capabilities without the need to invest in new equipment. This makes it a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to extend the efficiency and functionality of their current machinery.
  • The SL Projection Laser can also be used with bridge sawing machines. When integrated with SeKON software and positioned over a saw table or loader, workpiece labels can be positioned on the slab prior to cutting.

In stonemasonry, precision and speed are crucial. The overhead projector system, such as the SL-Laser Prodirector 7, significantly enhances CNC machine performance, improving accuracy and efficiency for stonemasons.

Investing in this system can elevate your stonemasonry business, streamlining operations and increasing productivity. By enhancing technological capabilities and ensuring safety, it enables you to complete more jobs efficiently, ultimately delivering better results for your business.
