HELIOLAS: YOUR ENTRANCE INTO PERFECTION

Our machine concept HELIOLAS offers performance in the starter price segment. This means proven standard
technology for engravings. Optionally for direct laser, anilox or LAS applications.
HELIOLAS machines stand for experience, precision and reliability. Despite the uniform machine size, they
enable the processing of big and small cylinders. Always in usual high quality.

For the most common engraving tasks, the customers can choose between three machine types with one, two or
four beam technology. The spot size is around 10 μm.

MACHINE FEATURES
 One machine size
 Machine bed made from steel, filled with special concrete
 Bearings equipped with precision spindle ball bearings
 Servo motor with belts for the cylinder drive
 Precision spindle with length measuring system for the feed

HELIOLAS:
 Imaging of printing and embossing cylinders: 4 beam technology for ablating black laser lacquer (200
W laser power)
 Combined with coating and etching: Processing of steel and copper cylinders

HELIOLAS AX:
 Engraving of anilox screen rollers with 4 beam technology (max. 2 x 400 W laser power in Ti203
ceramics)

HELIOLAS DIRECT:
 Direct engraving of embossing cylinders with 2 beam technology (max. 2 x 250 W laser power)
 Typical cylinder surfaces for embossing applications: copper, steel, aluminium

DIGILAS: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE IN ALL DIMENSIONS

Often customers, all over the world, are looking for laser machines which fulfill special requirements. Our
machine concept DIGILAS is the direct path to reach this target without any detours: Our focus is clearly on the
realisation of individual wishes. Together with our customers, we define such important factors as size,
equipment and performance.
DIGILAS machines offer state-of-the-art laser technologies for highest productivity and quality results. This
also applies for complex multi-level 2D or 3D structures.

We know that our customers appreciate transparency. Therefore, before concluding a contract, we determine
the productivity of the planned DIGILAS machine. For this purpose, we engrave the customer’s data (onto a
cylinder supplied by the customer) and measure the performance. The result makes possible an exact ROI
calculation, and thus facilitates the buying decision.

DIGlLAS machines enable the processing of a wide range of most different materials from copper, steel and
aluminium to hard rubber, polymers and ceramic materials as chromium oxide and tungsten carbide. In
addition, our customers profit from technological progress: We will inform without delay about innovations and
are ready to implement technically reasonable improvements into the respective machine.
