new laser engraver RAYJET

[Mike Null]

The cost of the machine has rarely been a problem so lower prices on equipment will not have a major impact with customers who prefer to outsource.

Keep in mind outsourcing has major benefits in terms of reduced inventories, reduced labor costs and no equipment investment.

[Frank Corker]

you are right! but it looks very "sexy" for a laser engraver / cutter. not like the versa.

You can see the software and workflow in this video:

very easy to handle.

i'll become a fan of the machine. maybe i'll go to a show to see the machine.

Did you look closely at the end of that video clip. The piece moves, not a tight fit, plus it made me laugh.

The local Ritz Camera shop has installed a VersaLaser for doing tiles, awards, etc. It sits in the middle of the shop, not hiding in the back... they don't even have a full price list yet, but I know they've been advertising it for several months now.

[Zac Altman]

Anyone have a clue what this is going to cost? I can only guess that it is going to be priced around that of the Versalaser models. Is it going to be cheaper?

Hello gentleman,

My name is Andy Wingfield and I am a Trotec representative in the central US.

I am not answering most of your question directly on the forum because I just joined and I an not sure what is proper for a manufacturers rep to say and do in regards to the forum.

I will have some pictures of the inside of the Rayjet and I will guarantee you much like the various Trotec lasers in their category it is on the high end of well built quality laser. The Rayjets market segment is less expensive entry level lasers.
If you have any questions in regards to the Rayjet or Trotec you can email or call me.

Regards,
Andy Wingfield

The video shows how easy is to go from Corel, through Print command to the laser "Commander". You don't really see how the user controls the parameters.

This is how ULS users work everyday, BTW.

I don't know what you refer by "sexy". The woman obviously looks great.
The machine itself is designed nicely, some others would say too plastic.

However the window is made of bent acrylic. The first Versa's came like this, and experience tells it has potential to wear and could crack. The current VLS has a robust top door made of metal and scratchless glass, with pressure cylinders that make sure it would last long.

From my (biased) point of view - it follows the early Versalaser principles, it looks similar mechanically and operates probably the same.

I just spoke with a sales rep from Trotec and they are sending me info on this machine. The cost starts at $11K, so they are not as cheap as they look. I will know more once I get the info pack.

I suppose that depends on how good the system truly is. Universal just ran a special with the VLS3.50 with a 30W for $10,995, and except for the more powerful laser has roughly similar specs on bed size, etc. That said, I feel that ULS has the edge when it comes to the print drivers and the like. YMMV...

[Mike Null]

While there is interest in this new product, some of the posts are getting near to advertising or promotion.

I have edited some to remove part of the promotional info.

I am not trying to be a censor but just to be fair and stay within our TOS.

Andy Wingfield, a new member, coincidentally happens to be my Trotec rep.

Andy,

Welcome to The Creek.

You can't sell or promote any products in this forum but you can and we would appreciate your answering any questions that are asked concerning Trotec.

I would like to know what power supply options are available in the Rayjet machine?

[Peter Meacham]

Has anyone been able to download the various sample projects from the RayJet web site - there seems to be a sample for each type of material (or a teaser icon) but none of the links are active. Are the active links elsewhere on the site?

[Andy Wingfield]

Hi Keith,

The Rayjet utilizes a Synrad tube.

110v or 220v

Regards,

Andy Wingfield
