Title: How to power multiple XY plotters/laser etchers at the same time...??
Post by: gafana on March 26, 2019, 08:33:21 PM

We need to run 6 XY plotters at the same time for "mass production". Right now we are forced to use 6 computers and would prefer one computer to send the same command to all 6 plotters at the same time and all run together. How can this be done?

There has to be a more efficient way to mass produce with multiple devices running at the same time.

Welcome to the forum!

Have you found some other graphics program which will run multiple plotters at once? 

Specifically which technique are you using to send data to the plotter?  I would assume that different techniques might accomplish this in different ways.  For example, are you using an extension or a native feature?  Which one?
