Ypsilanti, MI - Trotec Laser has released its iOS App, putting control of Trotec laser systems in the palm of the user's hand. This app allows the operator to see current jobs and the remaining laser engraving and laser cutting times.

* Laser positioning: Move the laser head using the virtual keypad or guide the laser head by touching the virtual working area.
* Calculation of engraving and cutting time: Get information about the total and remaining processing time of your laser job.
The app is available free of charge on the AppStore. It is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad running iOS 6.0 and above. Required: Wi-Fi, Laser software Job Control X and a compatible Trotec laser system. The demo mode allows you to test the app without a machine.
