What is the best system to produce ADA signage, rotary or laser?
The only engraving system that can produce both the raised letters and the Braille needed to produce a compliant ADA sign is a rotary system. Lasers are very useful and efficient for producing the appliqué portion of the ADA sign. However, they are not effective in producing the Braille portion of the sign. A laser beam can produce a hole in the substrate, but the hole will always be larger at the material surface. This fact prevents the effective use of the patented raster Braille process. A rotary system will produce the correct type of hole needed for the raster process. What tools do I need to generate Braille? There are two types of Braille that can be produced with a rotary engraving system. Route out Braille is generated by routing or milling away the surface of the substrate and leaving rounded Braille dots. A special cutter is used for this application, but this cutter is the only extra piece of equipment needed. The raster or bead method of Braille is generated by drilling ho
