My shop guys keep asking me if there is an auto peeler when it comes to cut vinyl especially lettering, does such a thing exist? I have never heard of one, nor and I find one anywhere on the internet

That first video looks a lot like what happens when you screw up with a cold laminator. Bet you could adapt one fairly easily to do similar.

Their website says they have a whopping 10 units in operation, the videos are from 2016, it is now 2022. Doesn't look like this thing is taking off.
must be pretty complicated to use:
9) What is foreseen for the training?
The training lasts approx. 2 weeks at our premises and it’s free of charge. For the training it will be necessary to consider 1 operator (for the machine) and one designer (with graphic knowledge).
Maybe it is good for huge quantities of repetitive weeding, single items might take more design time on the computer than just weeding by hand?

Years ago the shop where I was working got one. It worked ok on large block letters (like at least 6 inch tall) and very simple shapes but that was it. Overall it was much slower than weeding by hand and ended up sending it back for a refund.

We had an employee like that. she did EVERYTHING SLOW. BECAUSE she was on the weed like BELOW! LOL all that chick ever wanted to do was weed vinyl. she never graduated to anything else like actually applying graphics. She did a little bit of that. but she was so irritated if she had to remove graphics she acted like she was the "grunt". and she was, she was the new kid. you gotta learn the grunt work before you graduate to the next level. After about 5 months she began TELLING ME what she wasn't going to do. Needless to say, she lasted about 3 more months.
funny story about our weed chick...She was deep into the Qanon stuff. On inauguration day she came into work smelling LOUD. her phone went off with the emergency broadcast system buzzer. she came yelling up to the front, "it's happening, it's happening". then she read the alert, "This is a test.." and she stumbled back to the back. My boyfriend found a youtube video with the emergency broadcast system buzzer and was playing for someone on the phone as a joke, she came running up front again saying, "oh my god, it's happening." my boyfriend looked up at her and said, "naa, i just did that to my buddy, mark just now."
we don't miss her...
