    • Equipped with an automatic calibration system to ensure precise alignment before transferring materials onto the TR-M Series TR48M CNC cutting machine.
  • Smart Recognition & CNC Cutting
    • Powered by the TR48M multi-function CNC router, purpose-built for 4'×8' sheet materials;
    • CCD vision scanning system automatically identifies QR codes printed during the UV digital printing process;
    • Retrieves cutting path files from the database and executes automated CNC cutting with minimal human intervention;
    • The TR48M CNC ensures high-speed, high-precision cutting, ideal for large-scale signage production and digital printing applications.
  • Order & Logistics Integration
    • Generates and prints logistics labels linked to each order during the cutting process;
    • Labels include order ID, customer information, and product codes, ensuring accurate downstream packaging and shipping.
  • Smart Projection Sorting
    • Overhead projection system displays each product’s unique ID directly on its surface;
    • Operators can quickly identify, pick, and stack items based on projected IDs, reducing errors and streamlining the sorting process.

This custom CNC router solution combines automation, precision, and digital printing integration, making it the perfect industrial CNC router system for California signage companies and other high-volume printing & signage operations across the USA.
