Roland Introduces ADA Sign Solutions for EGX Engraver Line

The company is offering two complete ADA kits that enable EGX users to meet state and federal mandatory compliance regulations that go into effect March 15, 2012. The kits includes everything needed to produce tamper-resistant ADA and Raster Braille signage.

Beginning in March, mandatory compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 2010, and the recently adopted ADA Standards for Accessible Design, will be required for all new construction and alterations as directed by The United States Department of Justice. The newly enforced regulations affect both the production and implementation of ADA-compliant signage, including the mounting location and height, finish and contrast, and raised Braille characters.

The new ADA regulations apply to any sign that designates permanent rooms and spaces, and where goods and services are made available to the public, including resorts, hotels, hospitals and other medical facilities, entertainment and cultural sites, and educational facilities. 

Roland’s new ADA Sign Solutions are designed to help businesses build a profitable ADA signage business.  Each kit builds on a Roland EGX engraver with an engraving tool set, Braille and profile cutters, CADlink EngraveLab Expert software, Rowmark engravable ADA-compliant materials, adhesive sheets, an Accent Signage Inc. Raster Pen License Kit and a self-contained chip removal system. The EGX-350 ADA Kit comes standard with a Manual Raster Pen, while the EGX-400 and EGX-600 ADA Kits include both the Manual and Auto-Raster Pen that dramatically speed up production time. 

In addition to ADA signage, these engraving machines produce custom awards, promotional items, badges, nameplates, key rings and luggage tags. They can personalize everything from jewelry to treasured mementos, and can be used for rhinestone apparel decoration.
