Our latest fiber engraver has arrived!
This mini portable machine is battery-operated so you can take it with you. Perfect for on-the-go marking of logos, serial numbers, bar codes and other images or text on many metallic materials and plastic-type products such as cell phone covers, chargers, notebooks, tablets, etc. The built-in Lithium Ion battery allows you to work remotely with ease. Simply place the frame over an item to be marked, and pull the trigger.

STAFF ACHIEVEMENTS
June 2022
Juju started with Perfect Laser Technologies in 2018. Previously known as “the fastest taxi driver in Diepsloot”, Juju started off as a casual. Working first under Handsome’s guidance, JuJu moved to our BIG Machine Shop and started learning about CNC machines. His progress has been nothing short of amazing. Not only has JuJu mastered CO2 lasers, but he is also now our Senior CNC technician. He has taken responsibility for his own development and taught himself RDWorks, Fusion 360, Vectric Aspire and G Code. He has also completed a course on robotics. Perfect Laser regularly relies on JuJu to fly to all corners of Africa and South Africa to install and train new CNC owners. At 26 years old JUJU is an inspiration to all youths in South Africa.
On the Water
(29th April 2022) The future of shipping our fiber cutters and big CNC machines
Our 40′ containers always seem to have some space in them that is impossible to fill, and with freight now costing 300% more than a year ago, we found a way to reduce cost per machine – and we pass on these savings to you. Saving on our freight costs means we can be more competitive in the big machine market than ever before.
Here is our latest container being loaded with THREE PLF-1530 (1.5 metres wide by 3 metres long bed size) brand new fiber lasers for customers in South Africa. Our next order of another three is being prepared at the moment and will leave on the 23rd of May 2022.
On the Water
(23rd May 2022) Our second shipment of THREE fiber cutters left the factory today
We used to bring in one or maybe two 3000 x 1500 fiber cutters at a time, but they have become so popular that we are now dedicating entire 40′ HQ containers to bringing in three at a time.
This is our second shipment of three massive fiber cutters leaving the factory today (23 May 2022). There will be at least one more of these shipments leaving soon, so book yours NOW!
1st March 2022 – Out with the old and in with the new
For some time now, our PE branch has been a bit hidden, and seemed (to us) a bit small. We have therefore moved the branch to new premises at 26 Pickering Street, Newton Park.
Our contact number stays the same. This was the email sent out to PE clients today :
“Pop in to see us when we finish unpacking all our new stock this week!”
Fabric Cutters On the Water
Our Fabric cutting lasers are becoming a big deal in the garment industry.
We have three different automated feed models available, with two of these currently on the water for clients in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The baby machine is 1600mm wide x 1000mm deep – ideal for cutting regular patterns – available in either a single or dual head configuration. The top of the line machine is 1800mm wide x 1400mm deep, and it has a high-resolution overhead camera, enabling it to scan your pre-printed material and cut exactly what you need.
Conveyor Engraving System with Fiber or CO2 Galvo Head
If you run a production line and you need to mark a lot of stuff quickly and efficiently (serial numbers, safety information, model numbers, barcodes, in fact anything at all) We have a new conveyor system also in transit. The first system of its kind in South Africa, this camera-assisted fiber laser (or CO2 Galvo laser) will speed up your productivity second to none.
Training
Perfect Laser Technologies has a particularly strong support team.
Across the country there are over 40 staff members who form the core of our support capability. This is backed up by our CSP (Customer Service/Sales/Support Platform) software system. This allows us to provide support until 8pm Monday-Friday and on Saturdays until 2pm.
Over 50% of our support calls are for ongoing Windows updates, conflicts, issues and file integrity (client design) issues.
Our staff range of formally trained skills include two Qualified engineers, three Qualified Autocad draughtsman, as well as over 15 staff with vast experience in CorelDraw, Photoshop, and other design software, and also Corellaser, RDWorks, EZCad, and Color RIP operating software.
We continuously adapt to our clients’ requirements and our training and support division is headed up by Dion Black, our CTO.
Clients have been requesting:
- More formal training and retraining,
Training when new staff members join their organisation, and - A quicker turn-around time with regards to software problems (including operating systems, design programs and user-design files)
In 2022, we will be offering the following courses:
- Practical CNC operation
- Practical colour management for UV and Eco solvent printing
- Practical AutoCAD for CNC / Laser use.
Watch this space for more information.
MONTHLY SOFTWARE SUPPORT SERVICE
Your files, operating system and design issues often overwhelm our support team and staff.
Aggravated by “load shedding” and client delivery demands – we understand that your clients want their products now and that you therefore need answers now – as well.
As from Jan 1st 2022- we will be converting our software support to a nominal R150 per month (or R1200 per year) Support Contract.
Watch this space for more information.
