Laser Positioning For Sewing Operations
A laser line projected onto the fabric gives the operator a guide that does not move with the material. It is used for seam allowance, alignment and repeat positioning on operations where a marked line is impractical.
What Happens And What Goes Wrong Elsewhere
Each stage below names the problem first, then what we do about it.
Buyers order a laser without deciding what shape of light they actually need.
Line, cross and dot patterns each suit different operations. We supply all three and will talk through which fits your operation before you order.
A red laser disappears on red fabric and a green one is hard to see on green.
Red and green versions are both in the range. The choice comes down to the fabric colours you run most.
Lasers that need focusing at a set height are a nuisance to install and to move.
The models in this range are specified to work at any installation height without adjusting focus, which is what makes them practical to retrofit.
A laser that shifts loses its alignment and the operator stops trusting it.
Magnetic base and screw installation options, so the unit can be fixed solidly to the machine or the table.
Whether a laser line is usable depends on the fabric and the ambient light, which cannot be judged from a catalogue.
We supply samples so the line can be seen on your own fabric under your own lighting.
Fitting lasers across many stations reveals mounting problems one at a time.
Fit a sample on the least convenient station first. If the mounting works there it will work everywhere else.
