Tandem Assist is a laser software function, which virtually splits the work area into two zones. While the laser cutter in zone A is processing the material, the finished parts can be removed in zone B and the work area can be reloaded. This minimises down time and significantly increases productivity. Tandem Assist provides efficient and error-free support to the operator in his workflow. The operator activates the Tandem Assist with a few clicks in the laser software. After defining zones A and B, the operator places the jobs on the virtual work area. The start command is then given directly at the laser cutter. This is done by pressing the Ready button. Now, the sheet material is processed in Zone A. Zone B is only processed by the laser cutter once it has been released by pressing the ready button in Zone B. For more details about Trotec laser cutting machines visit: www.troteclaser.co.uk
