High Resolution Laser Plate Makers for the Printing Industry.

Opus has designed several plate makers for customers World-wide. Systems using HeNe, YAG, frequency doubled YAG and blue diode lasers have been developed. The requirements of micron stability, diffraction limited spots, control of ellipticity and plug and play laser replacement demand very careful design. Systems also have to be designed to be athermal over the operating temperature range of the plate maker.

Ellipticities of less than 1%, spot sizes down to 12µm FWHM, 20nsec rise times and beam pointing stability of less than 10% of the spot diameter have been achieved and are in production.

With our partners, Synectix Ltd (www.synectixltd.com) we can offer design and manufacture from component level to complete systems.
