PRO-SOFT 5 laser projection software

PRO-SOFT 5 is the user-friendly operating environment for your laser projection system. The new look and feel of the graphical user interface is easy to learn and easy to handle as it follows the current WINDOWS© 10 design. In addition, you may change parts of the configuration, the scaling and the skin individually. Frequently used functions are always visible, only occasionally used settings are found in submenus. This way the workers can focus on the most important parts of the processes - as few functions as possible, but as many as necessary.

Features of PRO-SOFT 5 laser projection software

Flexible data import

PRO-SOFT supports all common data formats used in the mentioned industries, as lpd, ply, dxf, IGES or others. We also provide import modules for STEP and Catia.

Embedded help

Context sensitive help offers short explanation and link to the requested topic in the manual.

Barcode integration

You may use a barcode reader to easily fill input fields of the software. Possible content may be user-ID, order number or the ID of the object to be displayed.

Operation by projected laser menu

Some important functions that up to now couldn‘t be addressed by remote control can now be handled directly on the workpiece surface using a projected laser menu. No need to walk to the PC.

Load balancing

Projection data is not distributed by position of the projectors, but by load. Projection areas have to overlap for optimal performance.

Switching between metric and imperial

PRO-SOFT 5 can operate in metric or imperial units. You may switch the unit selection in a running system, no restart required.

PRO-SOFT 5 TP

PRO-SOFT 5 TP is the standard software for all works on a plane surface in combination with height coordinates. The height level of the projection (z-coordinates) can be changed
manually. For recurrent height values you may easily create buttons in the tool bar.

PRO-SOFT 5 ST

For projection on 3D surfaces PRO-SOFT ST is the right choice. The single tasking version can control complex work areas with up to 16 projectors. More projectors can be connected with customized solutions. Projectors may be placed with offset to each other, turned by 90°, facing each other or crosswise to cover contorted or twisted shapes.
