Vision guidance active

The CNC that
sees before it cuts.

Camera-guided registration finds the job, corrects its position and rotation, then sends an aligned toolpath to the machine—so placement becomes flexible and every cut stays on target.

Machine vision, built in

Place it. See it. Cut it.

The vision layer turns what the camera sees into machine coordinates—removing slow manual alignment from the workflow.

Concept illustration: a tailor laser-cuts garment patterns from fabric with a CNC gantry on the left; a print workshop scores fold lines and cuts printed packaging sheets on the right.
A vision-assisted platform adapts to tailoring, print finishing, plotting, and light fabrication workflows.
01 / Detect

Find the real workpiece

The overhead camera captures the bed and identifies registration marks, edges, or the physical pattern placed on it.

02 / Align

Correct the toolpath automatically

Software compensates for translation and rotation, matching the digital cut path to the material as it actually lies.

Closed-loop workflow

From camera frame to
confident machine motion.

One coordinated workflow connects capture, detection, correction, and machining.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Calibrated imaging maps the usable bed and workpiece.

  2. 02

    Recognize

    Marks, contours, and reference geometry are detected.

  3. 03

    Correct

    The job is translated and rotated into machine space.

  4. 04

    Execute

    The selected head follows the corrected toolpath.

System architecture

Vision intelligence.
Reliable motion.

Calibrated camera

Maps pixels to physical machine coordinates.

Motion control

Drives the X, Y, and Z axes with limit-aware control.

Modular mechanics

Scalable frames, beds, and heads fit the application.

Vision-guided applications

One set of eyes. Five ways to work.

Pair vision registration with the head that fits your material and process. Final compatibility depends on the machine configuration.

Optional tool head

Creasing tool

Score fold lines on printed card and packaging blanks. Direction encoders guide wheel orientation.

Concept illustration: Tangential knife on a CNC carriage cutting a curved printed card shape
Optional tool head

Knife tool

Cut shaped contours in printed card and other suitable sheet materials with a tangential knife and direction encoders.

Concept illustration: Laser head on a CNC carriage cutting a shape from flat material
Optional tool head

Laser tool

Cut custom shapes with an optional laser head assembly.

Optional tool head

Router tool

Mill contours and shallow pockets in suitable rigid materials such as wood.

Plotting example

Watch a pen portrait take shape.

Pattern digitization

Digitize patterns.
Reverse engineer shapes.

Capture a physical pattern or template with a camera, then trace its shape into editable digital outlines for your design workflow.

From garment pieces to existing templates, bring physical shapes into a digital workspace.
