Ruby® is the ultimate design software that allows the daily work with the laser machine to run smoothly. You can create graphics, photos and text elements and make quick adjustments directly in the programme. The platform guarantees profitable order management and has a networked, web-based and fully digital approach. With Ruby®, you can connect all your laser machines in a network, locally or in the cloud, allowing users to distribute jobs to multiple machines from a PC or Mac. Thanks to the new workflow, jobs can be prepared by one user and produced by another at any time, from anywhere.

The smooth workflow starts with the design and continues from the preparation stage to production. Very little training is required for the user and an integrated guide provides additional tips if needed. The user chooses the material and material effects e.g. deeper engraving, dark engraving or cut-out and the cloud-based material database helps you to streamline the process.

Ruby® contributes to a simple and fast workflow from idea to final product!

We also offer training and support if you need help getting started.

Ruby is Trotec's own software and is supplied with the laser machine. It is also licence-free.

Trotec laser machines are equipped with several safety features - protective hoods, temperature sensors, safety switches such as main switch, key switch and emergency stop button. These minimise risks to the operator.

Machines from Trotec have CE marking, which fulfils EU requirements for safety, health and environmental protection. This gives you as a user a guarantee that the machine is safe to use and that it complies with current legislation.

Thanks to Trotec's InPack technology, which protects the sensitive components from dust and dirt, the machine requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of lenses and mirrors is recommended to maintain high performance and extend service life.

Yes, Trotec offers the Atmos extraction system that ensures safe and clean operation of the laser system. It removes dust and gases from the work surface and, with its activated carbon filters, filters the odours generated during laser processing. The Atmos extraction system contributes to a longer lifetime and protects the laser lenses.

Yes, there are a lot of options you can make to the machine depending on your needs.

Here are some examples of optional extras for the SP500:

• Rotation unit: The rotating attachment allows you to engrave conical, cylindrical and spherical objects such as glasses, cups, vases and bottles of various sizes. A special roller attachment allows the processing of objects with large or small openings that do not fit into the standard cones.

• Gas Kit: The Gas Kit allows up to two process gases to be connected if desired (e.g. compressed air and N2). This prevents flames, improves dust transport and also protects the lens. For some materials, such as textiles, wood or paper, the use of process gases is essential. In these applications, air will significantly improve the cutting result.

• Lenses: There are several lenses to choose from for each machine. When laser engraving and laser cutting, it is important to choose the right lens to achieve optimal results. The right lens depends on a number of factors: laser power, material type, graphic detail and resolution (dpi) and material thickness.

• Atmos extraction system: This practical extraction system ensures safe and clean operation of the laser system. It removes dust and gases from the work surface and, with its activated carbon filters, filters the odours generated during laser processing. The Atmos extraction system contributes to a longer lifetime and protects the laser lenses.

• Passage: On the Speedy 400 and Sp500, a pass-through hatch on the back can be removed. The hatch allows you to process long and bulky materials such as doors and wall panels of various kinds.
