Graphco Sparks Innovation at ISA 2026

Graphco will ignite the show floor at the ISA International Sign Expo 2026, held April 8–10 at the Orange County Convention Center, showcasing a fully integrated fabrication workflow designed to help sign shops scale smarter, produce faster, and increase profit margins.

Headlining Booth #1015 is the SD-Italy Augusta F150R Pro Hybrid CNC Routing & Cutting System, paired with Graphco’s breakthrough Auto Stud Welding (ASW) Technology — together delivering a seamless, start-to-finish solution that redefines dimensional signage production.

For years, sign shops have been forced to piece together routing, cutting, and stud welding processes — relying on separate machines, manual alignment, and operator-dependent quality control to provide consistency. Graphco’s solution changes that old fashioned approach and provides a much more profitable production method for today’s signage operations.

The Augusta F150R Pro is the only hybrid system engineered specifically for the signage market that integrates digital die-cutting, milling, routing, and welding capability into a single production platform. Built for high-speed performance across wide-format graphics, push-through letters, dimensional signage, and architectural applications, the F150R Pro consolidates production while expanding capability — without expanding floor space or labor requirements.

Paired with the Augusta F150R Pro system is Graphco’s Auto Stud Welding technology, designed to remove one of the most labor-intensive and error-prone steps in dimensional letter fabrication. By following the exact same CNC program as the router, the ASW stud welder ensures:

• Perfect stud alignment — every time
• Consistent bond strength, adhesion and no burn-throughs
• Dramatically reduced rework and easier final assembly
• Faster throughput with fewer operators

“The ASW system eliminates guesswork,” says Chris Manley, President of Graphco. “When your ASW stud welder follows the same program as the router, precision isn’t optional — it’s automatic. There simply isn’t another system in the signage market delivering this level of integration and production control.”

As labor shortages persist and production demands increase, shops can no longer afford fragmented workflows and manual inconsistencies. Graphco’s integrated hybrid CNC and ASW stud welding platform offers a scalable path forward — enabling higher-margin architectural signage production with predictable, repeatable quality. This approach leads to much higher profit margins on these complex projects.
