Tonello launches ‘breakthrough’ laser and software system
Technology group Tonello has launched a new laser and software system for jeans that it describes as a “breakthrough innovation”.
THE Laser includes four laser systems and new software called CREA, and is the result of “many months of hard work after listening to customers’ suggestions”, according to Alice Tonello, research and development director.
She said: “Following the Tonello vision of the Laundry Revolution, we felt obligated to redesign the entire laser range. It is an innovative, complete laser range and reflects the keywords of our vision: simple, digital and automatic.”
The machines are compact, so they need less space; they are fast, and easy to install and maintain, she added. They can also be connected to the group’s Metro software, which measures consumption.
Alice Tonello said: “The Laser Lab is the smallest in the range and probably the most versatile. It’s a plug-and-play machine and it can be moved easily on wheels. Originally designed for shops and labs, it’s perfect for production too.”
The conveyor was originally designed for knitwear, it is fast and can laser continuously, “perfect for t-shirts and denim”.
Other advantages of the machines include a system whereby the laser can understand where the garment is placed and laser correctly. “This helps to save time, and is an amazing innovation,” added Ms Tonello.
CREA software is described as solid, beautiful, fast and easy to use. “It is drawn by designers for designers,” said sales manager Maurizio Morosini. “It works in similar way to the most common graphic software and it has a lot of tools. You can smudge, erase, blur and transform your work. One amazing tool is a preview of the wash effect. It also estimates the time for production.”
The new machines and software will be available to deliver to customers from January 1, 2021.
Mr Morosini added: “Let’s forget this crazy time for a short while - today is a beautiful day for us, we are very excited to launch these products.”
The Italian company will explain more as part of an online launch event: Nov 18 at 5pm (Central European Time) and on November 26 at 9.30am or 5pm.
