Streamline Cut-Path Positioning for Printed Materials

nnnn

Printed materials sometimes require precision cutting in register with the printing. Common registration

nnnn

methods, including edge registration and pin registration, have accuracy limitations and can present work-

nnnn

flow challenges. To solve these issues, Universal developed camera registration for ILS platforms.

nnnn

► What is Universali Camera Registration?

nnnn

Universal^ Camera Registration (UCR) features a camera mounted inside the laser system that locates and determines the

nnnn

exact positions or registration marks on printed materials. Software adjusts the predefined cut path to fit the material. A laser

nnnn

system user simply places material close to the correct position in the laser system and the UCR automatically makes adjust-

nnnn

ments to the cut path to fit the material where it is placed.

► About ILS Platforms

nnnn

Camera registration is available exclusively on new ILS systems. The ILS9.75 and ILS12.75 platforms are designed for laser

nnnn

material processing in a wide variety of production environments. The ILS9.75 has a spacious 36" x 24" x 12" work envelope.

nnnn

The ILS12.75 is our largest and most versatile platform with a 48" x 24" x 12" work envelope.

nnnn

► Advantages/Benefits

nnnn

Camera registration systems are available for other cutting systems, but they typically either require users to leave their

nnnn

design software of choice and work within proprietary registration layout software or they require cumbersome additional

nnnn

software plug-ins that may not be compatible with future design software updates. In addition, they typically recognize only

nnnn

one or just a few types of registration marks.

nnnn

With Universal^ Camera Registration (UCR) advantages customers are able to:

nnnn

Work directly with most popular vector-based Windows software including Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW and AutoCAD

nnnn

(no import or software plug-ins required)

nnnn

Use standard registration marks including unfilled circle, solid circle, cross hairs and combined crosshairs/circle

nnnn

Teach new registration marks

nnnn

Get support directly from Universal because the UCR was developed by and is supported by ULS
