Lüscher Laser Diode Technology

The fibre-coupled laser diodes operate in the 380 nm – 980 nm range and are characterised by an ultra-long service life of +15’000 exposing hours. They are completely maintenance-free, no need for active cooling system.

Fully Automatic and Continuous Calibration

XPose! includes the unique Continuous Calibration Technology (CCT). During the exposure, the performance of every laser diode in any wavelength is monitored and automatically adjusted if necessary. Costly inappropriate exposures can thus be eliminated.

Lowest Energy Consumption

Lüscher’s patented laser diode technology ensures minimal power usage of 2 kW / 2.5 kW, reducing costs and providing lower cost of ownership. This promotes environmentally-friendly production for customers.

fleXtreme! Optic for Multiple Resolution

The fleXtreme! optic is an in-house development by Lüscher and allows the selection of any desired resolution. The changeover is fully automatic and tailored to requirements. This means that every job could be exposed in any resolution.

Multipurpose Applications

Rotary screens
Letterpress plates
Waterless offset plates
Flexo printing plates
Thermal offset printing plates
Conventional offset plates
Film, diazo and ablative
Varnishing / coating plates

Available Wavelength

With XPose!, almost any printing form can be processed in one machine

830 nm IR for thermal offset plates
980 nm IR for any ablative (LAMS) plate or ablative film
405 nm UV for conventional offset plates and rotary screens, such as Screeny® by Gallus, TecScreen® by Kocher + Beck or RotaPlate® by spg can be imaged easily.
380 nm UV for direct imaging of conventional flexo plates or letter press plates without LAMS layer.

Any Configuration

The broad band optical system by Lüscher allows any combination of wo different types of laser diodes in one machine. Switching between the two laser sources is done by a simple click of a button. Every wavelength can be configured individually, if just one source is needed at the time. Possible combinations are:

XPose! UV-Flex with 405 nm UV and 980 nm IR Laser Diodes

With this combination, any UV sensitive material and any ablative plate can be imaged easily, quickly and safely. This applies to conventional offset plates, rotary screens, such as Screeny® by Gallus, TecScreen® by Kocher + Beck or RotaPlate® by spg, as well as to letter press and flexo plates.

XPose! UV-Flex Thermal with 405 nm UV and 830 nm IR Laser Diodes

With this combination, any UV sensitive material and any thermal offset printing plate can be processed quickly and in highest quality in one machine. This applies to conventional offset plates, rotary screens, such as Screeny® by Gallus, TecScreen® by Kocher + Beck or RotaPlate® by spg as well as to any conventional thermal offset plate.

XPose! T-Flex 830 nm IR and 980 nm IR Laser Diodes

With this combination, any ablative plate and any thermal offset plate can be processed quickly and safely in one machine, such as letter press plates, flexo plates or thermal offset plates.
