A compact visual alignment accessory for faster and easier positioning on the MAXITA EC-17 Hot Foil Stamping Machine.
EC-27 users do not need this accessory, as the laser positioning function is already integrated into the EC-27.
The MAXITA EC-17 Laser Positioning Guide projects a visible red crosshair onto the working area, helping you identify and align the intended stamping position before hot foil stamping or embossing. This can be especially useful when changing between different products, dies or stamping positions.
It is also sometimes referred to as the MAXITA Infrared Positioning Guide or Infrared Positioner.
Laser Guide or Positioning Gauge?
The Laser Positioning Guide and the MAXITA Positioning Gauge perform different but complementary functions.
The laser guide provides a visual reference, allowing you to see approximately where your product should be positioned before stamping.
The physical Positioning Gauge attaches to the working table and provides a fixed mechanical reference, which is more suitable when you need to reproduce the same product position repeatedly during batch work.
For the most controlled repeat positioning, the two accessories can be used together:
Laser Positioning Guide – quick visual alignment Positioning Gauge – physical reference for repeatable placement
Please note that the projected laser is intended as a positioning aid rather than an absolute measurement system. Differences in material thickness and surface height can slightly affect where the projected guide appears, so final positioning should always be checked before stamping.

About the Manufacturer
MAXITA is a tool brand under Chongqing ZaoJu Technology Co., Ltd., based in Chongqing, China. Its approach to design starts with a simple idea: tools should work around the maker, rather than asking the maker to work around the tool.
Across its range, MAXITA rethinks familiar leathercraft tools and workshop equipment with a focus on ergonomics, flexibility and practical everyday use. From adjustable stitching equipment to compact hot foil stamping machines and modular accessories, thoughtful details are introduced to make traditional processes more comfortable, adaptable and accessible.
What we particularly value at Pro Atelier Plus is how naturally this philosophy fits the needs of independent makers, designers and small creative businesses. Not every business begins with a large workshop or industrial production line. Very often, it starts with one or two people, a workbench, an idea and the ambition to make something of their own.
Compact equipment and adaptable tools can allow these smaller studios to bring more processes in-house, from personalisation and hot foil stamping to hand stitching and small-batch production, giving makers greater control over their work and more freedom to experiment.
For us, MAXITA is not simply about making a process faster. It is about creating well-considered tools that support creativity, independence and the gradual growth of a maker’s own business.
