Rather than creating expensive and difficult to handle wooden templates or printed vinyl sheets from electronic templating systems, the LP-HFD Laser Pattern Projection System from Carter Products can project full-size, highly visible lines directly onto the surface material using the DXF files created by the templating system. Projected patterns can be electronically moved, rotated and nested to create the optimum solution for each particular job. Unlimited jobs can be stored on the hard drive for future use and recalled when needed. The system allows an operator to quickly mark the end and corner positions of the required cuts so that these marks can be easily aligned with the bridge saw's laser indicator for accurate sawing.
