Lectra Unveils a new Version of its Alys Plotter
Lectra has unveiled a new version of its Alys plotter, Lectra's pattern plotter and marker making solution, equipped with new AlysPilot software.
The new generation of Alys plotters is designed for use with practically all CAD/CAM systems currently on the market, adapting to all types of working environment. It is the latest in a long line of Lectra interoperable solutions. Its AlysPilot plotter management software runs all standard HPGL formats. Result: less time spent checking patterns, regardless of working environment and where the plotter printouts are produced.
"Alys plotters make it easier than ever to plot patterns quickly and accurately, thanks to their acknowledged performance and new AlysPilot plotter management software. Alys is the universal plotter," states Christine Bertrand, Alys Products Manager at Lectra.
The Alys solution connects as simply an office inkjet printer, ready for immediate use. The AlysPilot onboard computer-available on all models-monitors the plotter continuously to guarantee optimum performance. As a new generation of plotter, Alys connects easily to computers, allowing patterns downloaded from the Internet to be printed directly. With its long life ink cartridge, the Alys plotter is easy and economical to operate.
