Introducing the Lightning Rail — THE FIRST AUTOMATED MARKING MACHINE CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE LAYOUT OF COMMERCIAL HANDRAILS AND STAIR STRINGERS. With its unique functionality, it can also be utilized for laying out many other items for fabrication.

The Lightning Rail works with DXF files to quickly and accurately print an entire stair stringer or handrail layout in minutes, allowing the fabricator to place their parts within the outlines. This process eliminates the need to manually lay out designs with tape measurers, squares, soap stone, etc. The fully automated CNC machine takes your drafting software design and prints the entire work piece on a rigid steel frame table in any configuration. Examples include picket railings, stair stringers, ladders, hangers and much more!
Time between jobs is drastically reduced — the marking ink takes only minutes to remove using a biodegradable, unscented solution. There is no paper to burn and no rescaling of equipment required after initial setup.
For the fabricator looking to maximize their production time and most importantly, profits, the Lightning Rail is a smart decision.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive controls make operation easy for any team member-no specialized training required.
  • DXF File Compatible: Works seamlessly with any DXF file, integrating smoothly into your existing workflow.
  • Compact & Efficient Design: Fits into your current fabrication environment without taking up valuable space.
  • Versatile Functionality: Ideal for handrails, guardrails, stair stringers, ladders and even complex custom designs.
  • Clean, Eco-Friendly Layout Removal: Printed layouts wash off easily using a simple, odorless, biodegradable solution.
  • Custom Table Sizes: Available in 4-foot or 8-foot widths. Table length: just under 30 feet.
