Tonello launches THE Laser 2.0: the fastest laser machine

Tonello, a global leader in garment finishing solutions, presents THE Laser 2.0. According to Tonello this is a breakthrough that sets a new benchmark for speed, quality, and retrofittability in denim and garment processing.

THE Laser 2.0 is not just faster, it’s revolutionarily faster. Its next-generation fully digital laser source combined with high-performance electronic boards, delivers exceptional marking speeds while preserving the highest standards of quality. With the new Turbo and Hyper modes, processing times can be cut by up to 40%, unlocking productivity without compromising results.

Yet speed alone is not enough. THE Laser 2.0 was designed for absolute accuracy, reproducing even the finest details with clarity and consistency. Thanks to its dynamic focusing system, it ensures uniform marking across the entire work area, guaranteeing flawless execution on every garment.

Flexibility is another key advantage. THE Laser 2.0 is fully retrofittable, making it easy to integrate into existing production lines. Installation is quick, and its compatibility with Tonello’s Climate technology secures optimal performance even in the most demanding environments.

At the heart of the system is CREA, Tonello’s proprietary software developed with laser designers and technicians worldwide. CREA translates creativity directly into production, offering intuitive tools, automated optimization, and a wide range of working modes to balance maximum quality with maximum speed.

With THE Laser 2.0, Tonello once again confirms its pioneering spirit. As the company describes they are delivering the most advanced laser system in the industry: faster, sharper, and built for the future.
