Easy Opening – laser systems for cross web applications

For materials that require cross web processing, like most bags and pouches, our StarScribe CW (cross web) uses fast scanner heads: Mirrors, driven by Galvanometer motors, that deflect the beam on multiple axes. The control software not only lets the beam compensate for the web movement, it can even be used to create freeform scribing paths such as waves, squares etc. This opens up new possibilities for food and other packaging designers to make their products more usable, more attractive and unique.

StarScribe CW
Its main applications are bags and pouches whose specific production and filling process require cross web set-up. Using up to six extremely fast scanner heads, StarScribe CW can make lines that are crosswise to the web, or any other pattern such as circles, squares, etc. The process is controlled through a LaserCAD-based software package – developed by ROFIN – that guarantees flexible programming and a fast change of scribing job.
