This system has been optimised for the narrow to mid web printing applications. Great emphasis has been placed upon providing a cost-effective solution for small to mid size laser engraving applications.
The Meridian Progressive has been designed with the idea of each system having a low entry price and offering customers' progressively greater productivity capabilities, as their production demands increase. The Meridian Progressive entry system purchased with a single laser would provide a productivity of 0.15 - 0.3 square metres per hour, dependent on engraving depth required. When greater productivity is required the system can be upgraded to a dual or quad beam system, doubling or quadrupling the productivity.
The Meridian Progressive machine bed uses an axial moving cylinder technique, just like a cylindrical grinder. The robust steel machine beds are optically aligned to give very high accuracy, rigidity and stability. The end-to-end consistency of engraving with the Meridian Progressive machine bed is exceptional. A further advantage of the moving cylinder technique is that a very short beam path will be required irrespective of how long a roller is to be engraved.
