Braille Inserter

While I don't have a direct alternative to the Accent inserter, some users have suggested exploring other options like the Xenetech Engraver Raster Braille Inserter Bracket, which is compatible with Xenetech engraving systems and may offer a more cost-effective solution.

Xenetech also uses the Accent system. So while there are "brackets" out there for various engravers, the inserters and braille license(s) must be purchased separately.

I'm not sure what you mean by this?
I've used the raster system for about 10 years, it's a solid system and definitely made us some money over the years.
About a year ago we decided to give the quill a shot, we regularly get orders for 200+ signs with braille and the braille was always a bottleneck, mostly because Noone wanted to insert the beads for 5+ hours a day.
The quill system is easily 5-10x faster than we were with our raster setup. We can now apply braille to 200 stairwell signs in an afternoon, and if something messes up you just wipe the uncured resin off the sign and try again, with the raster system, if a single hole isn't drilled deep enough, it's a major PITA to fix.

When we first got the quill, there were a few bugs that needed to be ironed out, but they do take feedback seriously and have worked out most of the issues.

I can't imagine going back to drilling holes and inserting beads!

Hello how do the Braille dots hold up with the quill? I’m wondering if I could buy some sample off you to do some tests with.

Im considering buying a Shopsabre with quill attachment. I would mill around the copy leaving it raised and one piece with the substrate. And either using the quill for the Braille or maybe milling around the braille hopefully leaving it raised and domed.
What do you think?

I know the background will most likely have lines but I can probably sand them down.

Thanks
