ROUTERS/ENGRAVERS Trotec’s Speedy Laser Models Get an Upgrade Boost The updated Speedy laser engraver models from Trotec Laser, Inc., combine existing features—such as super-fast processing speeds; reliable, high-quality results; and the lowest cost of ownership—with more productivity-boosting features than ever before. The unique Ceramicore laser source (now available for 30- and 45-watt Speedy systems as well) provides a more stable laser beam with a small diameter and faster pulse rates; this allows Speedy systems to produce even the finest details at high speeds. The updated Speedy laser models also feature OptiMotion™, an innovative feature that boosts productivity by maximizing cutting speed at highest cutting quality. The operator needs to determine only the power and speed required to cut through the material or to vector engrave. OptiMotion then calculates the speed and acceleration required to achieve the best quality at the highest speed. troteclaser.com
