Focus on Routers & Engravers Graphtec GB Delivering the perfect edge for sign makers
While CNC routers are the workhorses of the sign industry for heavy-duty processing, modern sign makers increasingly need the finesse and polished finish that only a high-quality laser system can deliver. Graphtec GB addresses this need with the
versatile WidLaser range from WidInovations. The choice of machine comes down to personal
preference and production volume, but the WidLaser C and S Series are the standout options for the sign trade. Both series can cut and engrave a wide range of rigid and flexible media, including acrylic, wood, and composites. A major advantage for sign businesses is the finish.
WidLaser systems produce crystal-clear, polished edges on acrylic in a single pass, eliminating the need for manual flame polishing often required after routing. For print-and-cut workflows, these systems can be enhanced with CCD camera registration. This enables the laser to automatically detect registration marks, ensuring precise contour cutting of printed rigid media. The machines are built on a sturdy, corrosion-resistant
chassis and feature the CleanProtect system, which protects linear guides from dust and smoke.

Whether you choose the C-Series for reliable everyday production or the S-Series for higher speeds and ceramic tube technology, the range offers a solution for every workshop. Graphtec GB has been Widinovations’ UK distribution partner for many years and has recently expanded this relationship to form an even closer partnership. This benefits UK customers by ensuring access to world-class equipment, supported by Graphtec’s dedicated engineering team.

In today’s demanding manufacturing and design environments, businesses require equipment that delivers accuracy, flexibility, and strong return on investment. The HPC Fibre Laser Engraver has been developed to meet these needs, offering professional grade marking performance in a compact and cost-effective system. Positioned between entry-level laser engravers and fully bespoke fibre solutions, this Laser Engraver fills an important gap in the market, making industrial-quality engraving accessible without the expense or complexity of larger installations. The HPC Fibre Laser Engraver provides a practical and
versatile alternative to CO2 machines, which cannot engrave uncoated metals, and to high-cost custom fibre systems.

Its fixed cabinet design is ideal for smaller components, typically under 200mm cubed, making it well suited to workshops, manufacturers, training centres, and educational facilities that require dependable metal marking in a compact footprint. As with all HPC machinery, this Laser Fibre Engraver is assembled, tested, and CE-certified in the UK, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and compliance. The system engraves directly onto uncoated metals without the need for ceramic compounds, producing crisp, permanent marks while keeping running costs low. Supplied as standard with a 110×110mm focus lens, the
machine can also be configured with larger lenses to suit wider marking areas, with expert guidance from HPC’s technical team. Designed with efficiency and safety in mind, this Fibre Laser Engraver features a fully enclosed cabinet with safety interlocks, a motorised Z-axis for precise focusing, and a bed designed to accept jigs or rotary devices. Powered by a 30W or 50W fibre source, it delivers marking speeds of up to 3000mm/s with exceptional accuracy. Supported by HPC’s nationwide service network and lifetime
technical support, the Laser Engraver (LSE110) is a complete, reliable solution that brings high-quality fibre laser engraving to virtually any workspace.
