What is the LayoutMaster
The LayoutMaster is a full-color laser projection system that will project all the information that an operator needs to precisely tack-weld connections on the beam or on other connections.
The LayoutMaster is the ultimate, common-sense tool to transform any operator into your best fitter in a matter of minutes!
Why Invest in a Projection System?
The typical steel fabrication shop spends between 20 & 30% of the entire shop fabrication time on fitting operations. Along with welding, it’s the most labor-intensive operation of the entire fabrication process.
You have likely invested in automated equipment for beam and part preparation; it’s now time to bring your shop to the next phase: Assisted Fitting.
Cortex for LayoutMaster
Cortex for LayoutMaster software allows fitters to work without the need for paper or tablet drawings. It precisely calculates and projects the position of accessories relative to the beam’s origin, ensuring accuracy.
Cortex for LayoutMaster converts Tekla and SDS2 models into projection-ready formats, making it adaptable to the needs of any fabricator.
Cortex can generate
- Welds in Catch All mode
- Stitch Welds
- Welds between coped section and accessories on IBeam
- Welds between coped section and accessories on HSS
