This week on Tech's Corner we're talking about ROI on the Trotec JobControl Vision laser cutting Camera System. Take the example below:

Faster production time:

Manual alignment takes roughly 30-60 seconds per sheet to square the item using the red dot, set the origin point and move the job in Job Control to this point

On a 120 sheet order, you are losing 1 – 2 hours of machine time at $60-100/hr.

Near zero scrap rate:

Since the alignment is being done manually, you will also have an error rate of up to 5% meaning that you will have lost the material, ink and time to print the items as well in these cases.

For this discussion, let's assume the material is 3mm TroGlass ($15 for 24"x12").  The printing cost is not high at roughly 60 cents to a dollar but the printing time is significant at 10-15 minutes.  Accounting for the material, ink and printing time, we can say that each scrapped piece costs roughly $25.

If we assume the worst case, the manual method is going to cost you roughly $350 more in time and materials versus using the Job Control Vision system.  At this rate, the system has paid for itself after just 18 orders of this size and future savings go directly to your bottom line.

Higher perceived value:

Even if the alignment is done perfectly, it does not account for any print growth or shrinkage so the quality of the result won't be as good and the perceived value to your customer will be lower.  If you are competing for a job against someone that has camera registration, you may have to discount because the end quality isn't as good and your costs to produce are higher.  The Job Control Vision system is an essential tool for die cutting any printed materials on the laser to reduce your cost of production and maximize the selling price due to the higher perceived value.

The Job Control Vision system can be retrofitted on any Speedy 300, 360 or 400 or any larger SP series system.
