For the production of cylinders for gravure printing and embossing large surfaces are structured with high resolution. Fast process cycles require highly efficient structuring processes of several square metres in micrometer-precision within the shortest time. In this context, the laser technology offers advantages in terms of fine focusability, high processing speed and precise direct digital data transmission. Further beneficial characteristics of the laser engraving technology include high flexibility and increased productivity.
