A new routing ecosystem benchmark AXYZ
AXYZ’s current portfolio delivers a complete response to the needs of sign makers who want reliability, adaptability, and efficiency without compromise. TRIDENT is a true hybrid device, which pairs a high-performance routing spindle with both tangential and oscillating knife heads – delivering an unrivalled breadth of materials handling on a single machine. The industrial CNC features AXYZ’s Vision System and aligns registration marks with pinpoint accuracy even on complex, full colour graphics. The machine has a welded steel frame, direct-drive servos and helical rack and pinion mechanics, which ensure high-speed processing without vibration or drift. INFINITE is known for its endurance, and offers a wide range of bed sizes that allow a business to configure it to its needs. The machine can withstand continuous operations, and has production options such as twin-head routing or pendulum processing which can effectively double throughput by allowing simultaneous loading and machining. The INFINITE flexibility means that it becomes a long-term asset – future proof, customable and durable. LOADLINE series is a suite of loading systems designed to automate one of the most time-consuming steps in the CNC process.

The system is offered in three versions – Assist, Edge, and HD; each tailored to a different class of sign making operations. Assist is a manual loading system, capable of lifting sheets up to 200lbs. It features an easy, intuitive battery powered wireless control for effortless lifting and loading delivery onto the machine.
Edge builds on the Assist, with automated off-loading and alignment features, ideal for high accuracy jobs. HD is the industrial flagship, built to handle extremely heavy
or oversized panels up to 16 feet and several hundred pounds, making it valuable in architecture, cladding and high composite fabrication. Together, they provide a single, integrated solution that allows sign makers to expand capability, reduce labour pressure and build a smarter, faster, and more competitive shop floor.

placement and immediate handling. The technology supports full-colour printing, white ink for opacity on transparent or dark surfaces, and multi-layer ink builds that can be used to create subtle textures or raised effects, adding depth and visual impact. From a production perspective, durability is a key
Roland’s range of Digital UV printing
As demand grows for more visually distinctive signage, digital UV printing is playing an increasingly important role alongside traditional engraving techniques. Rather than replacing engraving, UV printing is
expanding what’s possible, allowing manufacturers to deliver detailed graphics, colour accuracy, and layered finishes directly onto rigid substrates such as acrylic, glass, metal, and wood. Flatbed UV printing uses UV-curable inks that are instantly hardened under LED lamps, enabling precise ink
advantage. UV prints are resistant to scratching, fading, and moisture, ensuring prints retain their appearance even with frequent handling or long-term display.
This combination of durability and flexibility allows for high-quality, made-to-order production without compromising turnaround times or finish quality. By integrating UV printing into their workflows, manufacturers using solutions from Roland DG are able to respond more easily to bespoke briefs, combining personalisation, branding, and premium presentation in a single, efficient process.
