Skills shortage? What Skills Shortage? |

You don’t have to be a genius to solve the skills shortage problem.
It can all be done with laser technology. Don’t be afraid, it’s easier than you think.
The national skill shortage scare affects us all. We take some comfort in the fact that the government has put The National Skills Shortage Strategy in place, but we still experience the problem. No matter what business we’re in, the need to save time and money, make fewer mistakes, and have a greater control on quality is part of our daily manufacturing lives.
The solution is not rocket science. You don’t have to know about molecular structure or splitting the atom with the new user-friendly Laserman range of 2D and 3D laser projectors. These projectors are especially suited to any manufacturing industry involving assembly and positioning. With the help of Laserman’s SL-Laser range of 2D or 3D Laser projectors you can simply project an entire plan straight from your computer to your working surface in either a 2D or 3D form.
Marking, measuring, blueprints and plans are fast becoming a thing of the past. Thanks to cutting edge laser technology, tape measures, templates or drawings for the manufacture of many different items, such as caravans and boats, roof trusses or wall-frames, precast concrete panels and composite components are now outmoded.
Save Time.
Save hours of labour and set-up time. Some customers report over 120% improvement. You will free up workspace that can be used more effectively, resulting in greater efficiently and therefore increase your productivity.
No Mistakes.
Make fewer errors, waste less material and avoid rework time. With an accuracy of up to 1mm net, you will always have the perfect fit. Now you don’t have to allow that extra bit of material just in case something doesn’t quite fit.
Quality Control.
Real-size displays of your product mean you have on-the-fly 100% quality control. This reduces supervision and training costs. By seeing your plans in real size, will instantly alert your operators if something isn’t quite right.
Less Skills Reliant.
You will be less reliant on skilled labour with the laser taking over supervision and quality control tasks. This does not go against the National Skills Shortage Strategy, in fact it can help in the training process. Intelligent software can keep track of your output – process-by-process, user-by-user.
Reverse Engineering.
Laserman’s SL 3D software now incorporates reverse engineering tools to measure and create CAD drawings of virtually anything. This is especially useful in retro-fit or reworking older designs.
How it works
The SL-Laser projector works by transforming a computer designed image into a laser outline. The outline is then projected onto your working surfaces to aid in the set-out of the components included in the chosen design file. This cuts set up times dramatically and increases the speed, accuracy and quality of your work.
Flexible.
With the SL-Laser systems you are able to switch designs quickly and easily simply by pressing a button, either on-screen or by remote control. You have the advantage of working in ‘layers’ as well, displaying only the areas or components you need, when you need them. You are also able to recall previous designs to remanufacture damaged parts, or to duplicate a previous design.
One of the most exciting features of Laserman’s laser templating system is that it has the ability to work in 3D. This is particularly useful for aerospace and boat manufacturing: Complex ply lay-ups or part fitments are instantly displayed on moulds or 3D objects negating the need for measuring or marking.
Depending on your requirements, it is possible for one laser to be shared between several small working tables within the laser’s range. Similarly, if you have a large working area, it is possible to have several machines linked together to work as one from a single computer.
The financial outlay for a 2D Laser System (including one laser and the software) starts at $42,000. The 3D System price starts at $54,000.
Strict German standards are adhered to in the 2D Laser Projection systems. Passed as a ‘Class 2’ laser means they are entirely safe to be used for their intended purpose with no special safety equipment or training necessary.
