Trotec is showcasing its large format SP2000 laser cutter at Visual Impact which opens tomorrow, the first time it will be seen in Australia.

Reece Moore, managing director of Trotec Laser Australia & New Zealand, says, "This is an opportunity for people in the signage and print industries to get up close to such a large laser machine and see it working. We are looking forward to demonstrating the SP2000's JobControl Vision camera system for cutting large printed materials.

"Trotec's large format machines have only been shown at a handful of trade shows around the world and we are delighted to be bringing the SP2000."

The SP2000 has a 1680 x 2510 mm working area and can process acrylics, wood and textiles for the signage, display and digital print industries.

Trotec says, “Belonging to a series of award winning large format laser cutters from Trotec, the SP2000 shares the same design features as its award-winning big brother, the SP3000. Open to all four sides and with a V-shaped body, the SP series of laser cutters allows easy access to the working area for efficient loading and unloading of materials for high-volume and high-speed cutting applications.

“The SP series has been developed with the signage and printing industries' needs in mind. A fully enclosed beam path and easy access to the working area keep operators safe, while Sonar Technology auto-focusing, a travelling exhaust and cutting speeds up to 1m/sec ensure high productivity without compromise on the quality of finish.”

Earlier this year the SP2000 won the European Digital Press Association (EDP) award at Fespa for the Best Laser Cutting System.
