"A new reliable, efficient and ecofriendly technology capable to increase the quality standards of the existing systems”.
“The THORIUM direct laser engraving system, which replaces our successful HELIOS, is a proven solution for creating high-quality printing forms across various applications.”
With THORIUM, you can seamlessly handle four different printing forms: Dry Offset, Intaglio polymer plates, flexographic varnish plates, and seamless endless screens—all using a single piece of equipment. Moreover, THORIUM achieves this without the need for chemicals, resulting in significant cost savings.
The system employs a unique single-step dry process to eliminate non-printing areas by simply burning away the polymer. There is no need to handle or store chemicals. After engraving, the customer doesn’t need to further process the print form or take any additional steps.
Lower operational costs
A perfectly coordinated software (in-house developed CAD/CAM) and hardware achieves streamlining workflows, reducing process steps, and allowing multiple print forms to be used on a single machine. Additionally, the new CO2 laser generator eliminates the need for process gas and integrates an automatic standby mode, resulting in significant operational cost savings.
The THORIUM boasts the capability to engrave forms at an impressive resolution of 10,160 dpi—exceeding the limits allowed for the plates themselves in terms of dot size and resolution.
A unique Active 3D®-RIP system, developed in-house, enables three-dimensional dot shaping for printing forms. This innovative approach prevents over-impression of smaller elements by positioning them below the printing surface, ensuring they print consistently alongside larger elements, resulting in exceptionally fine results with extreme accuracy and repeatability.
