Ruby® is the ultimate design software that enables 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 program. The platform guarantees profitable order management and has a networked, web-based and fully digital design. With Ruby®, you can connect all your laser machines in a network, locally or in the cloud, which allows 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 wizard provides additional tips if needed. The user selects the material and material effects such as deeper engraving, dark engraving or cutout and the cloud-based material database helps you 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 included with the laser machine. It is also license-free.

Trotec laser machines are equipped with several safety features – protective covers, temperature sensors, safety switches such as a main switch, key switch and emergency stop button. These minimize risks for the operator.

Trotec machines have the CE marking, which meets EU requirements for safety, health and environmental protection. This gives you as the user a guarantee that the machine is safe to use and complies with applicable 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 the service life.

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

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

Here are some examples of options 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 processing of objects with large or small openings that do not fit into the standard cones.

• Gas Kit: With the Gas Kit, up to two process gases can be connected if desired (e.g. compressed air and N2). This prevents flames, improves dust transport and also protects the lens. For certain materials, e.g. textiles, wood or paper, the use of process gases is crucial. 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. Which lens is suitable 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 filters the odors generated during laser processing with its active carbon filters. The Atmos extraction system contributes to a longer service life and protects the laser lenses.

• Passing: On the Speedy 400 and Sp500, a rear access hatch can be removed. The hatch allows you to process long and bulky materials such as doors and wall panels of various types.
